This is a habit that I ran away from for years. Why make the bed when you are getting back in it that night?

But, once I started doing it, I realized how much cleaner the room looked. The bed is a huge part of the bedroom. When it’s messy, the whole room looks messy.

Plus, it was more soothing when I went to bed. No more yanking the bedcovers right as I went to bed, too tired to get them correct.

When I timed it, it came out to about 30 seconds. That was all. With an extra two seconds to smile at your made bed when you are done.
