You will get about as much work done as you would when you are sleeping

Get dressed. Even if you are a stay-at-home mom or your job is at home, get dressed. You'll be just as productive as you are dressed, which means if you are dressed for sleep (pajamas, sweats or a robe), then you will get about as much work done as you would when you are sleeping.

Hi,

What does the bolded part in the above try to get across? Thanks.

This means that the writer thinks housewives should dress every day like the mom in Leave It To Beaver, that is, street clothes, with everything pressed, and with a pearl necklace, then your house will look like the Cleaver home. He thinks that if a housewife spends the whole day in what she slept in, it will be reflected how she does housework and the appearance of the home will suffer.
