Could it be lack of motivation, preoccupations or nothing to do? Having something to do outside of the home may help. If you do have regular commitments, try to take a shower before you go.
If you want to get back into taking a daily shower, start with two a week and build from there.
I struggle with this problem when I get obsessive. Everything gets put on hold, while I pursue my (at times severe) preoccupations.
My rule: When I need to leave my place, I always take a shower, no matter what.
