1. Start off on the right foot.

If your home office is chilly, it's tempting to spend the day in slippers. But that can keep your brain on sleep mode. Teva ReEmber Terrains [$90; teva.com] are slip-ons that give you the cozy factor in an actual shoe. They're plenty comfortable with a quilted upper and foam footbed, and have a woollike lining for warmth. A water-resistant coating and a grippy, 50% recycled rubber sole keep your feet dry for running out to warm the car up on snowy mornings, while they're stylish enough for dog walks, grabbing a coffee, or errands.

2. Keep the frozen phone fingers warm.

Using your phone outside in winter is a pain, even with touch-sensitive fingertip gloves.
