U.S. Navy Admiral McRaven recommends making your bed each day. Do you? I do not. Never have. I give my sheets and comforter a shake before climbing in to bed. I plumped my pillows. I straighten the items on my nightstand. The only time I make the bed is when I change the sheets in the bedrooms.
When I change the sheets, I start looking at all the other issues in the bedrooms…dust, clutter, overflowing laundry hamper. I get overwhelmed and then stop making the bed. When I change the sheets, I do a thorough clean of the room. I would have less work to do if I made the bed, picked up clutter, etc., each day instead of letting the mess get out of hand. Oh well…
One of the joys of staying in a hotel, is the immaculately and crisply made bed. I have great admiration for anyone who cleans hotel rooms. I try to leave them in good condition.
