I try to make my bed every morning...yes, partly because my mom used to make me every single day and it is drilled into my head. But also because of how it starts my day. All I have to do is straighten up my blankets and throw my pillows in the right place and I already have something accomplished for the day!

it is sort of like the feeling you get after you clean your room, you know?

If you are someone who is trying to get back into the habit of getting things done each day, if you have been in a slump and need something to get you back on track, try making your bed each morning. It sounds so simple, and lets be honest, to most it will seem pointless. But the routine of waking up and making your bed is just that, a routine.

It is the start to being productive for the day!

When you start making your bed you will realize how messy the rest of your room is and possibly clean that. Then once you clean that you might notice that your living room or kitchen need cleaned. And before you know it, your whole house is clean! It is a simple chain reaction that you won't even notice you have started until it has already happened.

Also, whenever I make my bed I tend to get myself ready as well. i don't just roll out of bed and out the door. It tends to make me get dressed in actual clothes (Jeans) and fix my hair and makeup. Then, because of that I tend to get more tasks done through out the day. Because when you look good, you feel good! And when you feel good, you are productive and on your "A Game".

So challenge yourself. This week, every morning when you get out of bed, throw those blankets and pillows together instead of rolling out of bed and leaving it a mess. Get your bed ready, then yourself and notice the difference in how you feel and what you accomplish that week. There will be a change in your mood and an increase in your productivity!
