It’s tempting to stay in your pajamas all day, especially when you work from home. Not for FOF Ruta Fox.“I find you can actually be more productive if you get up and get dressed,” says Ruta. “You have to have some kind of structure if you work from home, otherwise you get sidetracked with things like laundry and cooking.” Ruta, the founder of DivineDiamonds.com, works from her Upper East Side, Manhattan apartment. Today we spotted her on the way to a meeting.
