Making your bed is one of those habits that feels pointless.
You’ll mess it up every night and no one will ever see it made, right?
Well, except you.
And the satisfaction it gives you may be what’s really worth it.
It’s about starting your day with a productive routine, and giving yourself something to be satisfied with.
By the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed.
Making your bed will also reinforce the fact that little things in life matter.
If you could’t do the little things right, you will never do the big things right.
If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.
In this case, the habit itself isn’t really the important part.
You might not ever notice or care that your bed wasn’t made.
But how the habits carry over into the rest of your day is the real goal.
Update:Looks like we’ve already mentionedthis particular Admiral’s tip before.
Sorry about the repetition!
