Why “make your bed?” Does it really make such a difference? I think it really does. On most mornings this is a little task that Jenny and I do together. Each on one side of the bed. Plump the pillows, straighten the sheets, and pull the covers to square. Doesn’t seem like much but it does give a small sense of accomplishment. First task of the day accomplished and hopefully the first of many tasks. And if the day is a lousy one at least at the end of it you get to crawl into a neatly made bed. Tomorrow might by better.
If that doesn’t convince you, listen to this Navy Seal Commander. He gives even more good reasons. And don’t forget to call your mother. There are all kinds of reasons that that will be good for you and for her.
