If showering and getting dressed first thing works for you, great, but I get really tired of seeing people dispense that advice as the "right" thing to do.

I can probably not work in a normal office anymore!
What is more important is to be organized.
- Figure out a system that works for you and concentrate on striking off stuff from your task list. My system involves pivotal tracker + Gnome Pomodorro applet timer.
- Manage your notes/references/bookmarks better. Eg. Evernote + pinboard
- Make repetitive tasks automated
- Drink sufficient water!
When working from home you can maximize your working time. You are not forced inside the 8-hour box.
The moment I wake up, I very often have some idea in my head that I want to jump on immediately. Knowing that I have limited time before I need to commute stymies my ability to harness that energy.
