How to make my bed every morning
It made me
keep my house clean.
 "Not hard to do, just have to make a point to do it and not leave the house until it's done."
How I did it: Just decided that if I start with my making my bed in the morning then I would tidy up on my way out the door for work. So when I come home in the evenings it's tidy and stays organized! Lessons & tips: Tell yourself you wont leave the house until it's done, thus making you to get up a little earlier. Therefore, a clean house... a clear mind! |

I admit I have skipped a few mornings, but I’ve always caught up again by the afternoon. This is an improvement from the days when I never even TRIED to make my bed, but just straightened the covers over myself each evening the best I could.
It wasn’t dignified.
This is so much nicer.

I am impressed with myself!
I have actually followed through with this goal every day since I wrote it. That’s about ten days so far.
This seems like a tiny thing to anyone who has no issues in this area. To me, however, it is a major improvement.
My bedroom looks so nice every time I enter it! I find it very empowering to see the bed all beautifully made up. I feel more dignified within myself to know that I am someone who deserves a beautiful bed, not just a pile of wrinkled sheets.
I’m finding out that beauty is a value, not just a luxury.

Rearranging my bedroom has given me an opportunity to completely clean the whole area. I washed the sheets with bleach, and now I remember how much I LOVE that smell! I intend to honor myself for the next month by being sure to make my bed up every morning, all the way to flipping the bedspread up over the pillows (not just generally straightening things and calling it good).
I’m recovering from habits of living in filth for so long that I don’t want to overburden myself just yet with too many new chores. I KNOW beds should be made up with fresh sheets weekly, and the mattress turned and vacuumed monthly. I’ve gotten used to not doing those things for months or years at a time, though. I think I’ll focus on just MAKING the bed for now.
Next month (week of Feb 1) I pledge to reexamine whether I’m ready to go to the trouble of stripping the bed and washing sheets etc. again.

I’ve made my bed every day this week. Not always in the morning though, I still need to work on that.
