My son's new job.
-
Today is day 1 of my son's new job. He was so excited to go in to the office and meet everyone... ...he got an email on Friday telling him to work from home until further notice. His new laptop and some office supplies, etc. arrived in the mail on Saturday. I woke him for work today and before I left for my office I saw him there in bed with his laptop. Ah, the joys of working from home in your PJs! This might be me in the next few days.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Nip this habit in the bud right now. I've been working from home for over 12 years now, and I always make a point of not having a laptop in bed with me and putting on some actual clothes in the morning. Why? Because once he actually needs to get out of bed, get prepared in the morning and, y'know, leave the house to go to work, he's gonna find it doubly harsh. I've never lost the habit and firmly believe it to be a plus.

Yep. Work is a habit, and it's also a frame of mind - if you're in bed in PJ's then you aren't in the right "mental space" to work. Me? I wear jeans and an ironed white shirt - just like if I was in the office and had no custards to see - my hair is brushed, my teeth are dealt with, and I'm ready to to business. Clothes affect your thinking - compare how you behave in a T and ripped jeans to a suit and tie. PJ's is the start of a bad idea that ends up camped in front of the fridge coding around mouthfuls of cheese... :laugh:

Ain't that the truth. Sometimes it's hard for me to make the disconnect between "work time" and "my time", because I remain in the same physical area. If I had the habit of having a laptop on me when in bed, I'd be afraid I'd start subconsciously associating that time with work, and it would start affecting my sleep patterns...in the same way that if I'm laying down on my bed to watch TV, then I have a hard time not falling asleep because that's how my body responds to being in that position for some amount of time.

In bed with a laptop? Probably on his lap, which is a bad idea. Laptops can get hot, and I've heard of more than one case where this has led to a hospital visit with burns to nether regions. It happens gradually, so it's a frog in a pot situation.

I was always comfortable in trackie daks and ugg boots but ALWAYS in the office. Even now I have a laptop that has not moved off the desk in 12 months.

I don't know all the jobs you are involved with but IMHO you could be a rather good writer.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that... - Harvey
