Let’s get real: If you can’t handle making your bed in the morning, how do you expect to handle the bigger challenges life throws at you?
Discipline isn’t something that magically appears when you need it—it’s built in the small, seemingly insignificant moments.
Making your bed is one of those moments.
It’s a simple act that sets the tone for the day, proving to yourself (before you even have coffee) that you are capable of completing a task, bringing order to chaos, and starting the day with intention.
Don’t take my word for it. The stats speak for themselves:
📌 Bed-makers are happier. 71% of those who make their bed describe themselves as happy, while 62% of non-bed-makers admit they’re unhappy.
📌 Better sleep, better life. Bed-makers are 19% more likely to report consistently good sleep.
📌 More success, more productivity. Those who wake up early and follow structured routines tend to be more productive, experience lower stress levels, and have higher job satisfaction.
And if that’s not enough, Admiral William H. McRaven laid it out in his legendary speech: "If you want to change the world, start by making your bed." Why? Because it builds:
✅ Discipline—Doing the small things builds the ability to handle the big things.
✅ Diligence—Paying attention to the little details strengthens leadership skills.
✅ Intentionality—A structured morning = a more focused, productive day.
✅ Mental clarity—A tidy space = a clear mind, leading to better decisions.
Look, I get it. It seems trivial. But the reality is, you can’t conquer the big things if you’re constantly ignoring the small things.
If you want to get your sh*t together, start with the first thing you see when you wake up.
So before you jump into the craziness of the week, take two minutes, smooth the sheets, fluff the pillows, and remind yourself—you run this sh*t.
