Making your bed - a little challenge
Hi guys 🙂
I came across an article about 5 reasons for making your bed every day. I've been tackling The Challenge since I first posted this on BB in Feb 2015. I've been asked to start it on here, so feel free to have a go 😉
Anyone else up to the challenge??? Here is the (edited) article ::
If you can't do the little things right, you'll never do the big things right.
1. Making your bed is a small task, but once completed, the sense of accomplishment helps you get more little things done during the day.
2. Creates an oasis to relax in when you come home. It's the one area you have control over. Pack away clothing, fluff the pillows....
3. Sets a good example for children. Easier to get them to tidy their rooms if yours is tidy.
4. Once established as a good habit, it may encourage you to start other good habits. Packing clothes away, opening curtains. This may lead you to other little tasks in other areas of the house.
5. Keeping it clean. Messy bedding can make a bedroom look untidy and unclean. With a made up bed, your bedroom will be more inviting at the end of the day.
So are you ready for your life-changing experience? When you think that making your bed takes approximately 3 minutes, it's at least worth giving it a go. Try it for a week and see if you feel like you're achieving something every morning, and whether it leads to other accomplishments - no matter how small !
