Working shirtless? (or, making WFH comfortable)

I'm curious if anyone else pops their shirts off in the heat of the mid-day grind?


Let me give you some context. My home office window faces West, so the afternoon sun BLASTS into the room, making it about 100 degrees even with 2 fans on.


My solution: just pop my shirt off and keep grinding. (also, keep a shirt right by my side in case of a short notice team zoom meeting).


How do you all stay comfortable when working from home?

โ€œHey I was wondering if any sales savages out there ever keep a snack on their desk for when they start to get hungry. Usually around 11:45am this weird thing happens in my stomach where it wants to be fed and I start to think about food. Does this happen to anyone else or am I just nuts??โ€ ๐Ÿคช

"Heyy does anyone use the bathroom at work?? I've considered just pissing my pants but I feel like at least some of you take a minute to walk to the toilet. Looking forward to commenting "this" on each and every one of your comments!"ย

I've found cold calling naked gives me confidence when I'm WFH. So to answer your question not only do I take my shirt off; I take it all off๐Ÿค

Do you tell your prospect that you are naked before or after your elevator pitch? I think disclosing that could go a long way.

I'm a big fan of setting up outside, inhaling the sunlight w/ no shirt on. Gotta get this endorphins running especially during a cold call stretchย
