What your habits say about you.
According to a recent study, people who make their beds are more adventurous, confident, gregarious, and high-maintenance.
Here are three reasons why and how making your bed can contribute towards a character.
1. A sense of achievement
It may appear to be a minor effort, but making your bed first thing in the morning provides you a sense of success. It only takes a few minutes of your time each morning to set a great tone for the rest of the day.
2. Creating Good Habits
When making your bed becomes a habit, you may notice that other positive habits will automatically follow. You now keep your clothing off the floor, and dusting has become a necessary habit that you like. Once you realize how quickly you can do these duties, you may begin to incorporate these habits into other areas of the house, such as the kitchen and living room. Before you realize it, your entire home will seem like a delightful, relaxing getaway.
3. Reduced levels of stress
A decluttered bed contributes to a decluttered environment. A clutter-free environment leads to a clutter-free mentality. A clutter-free mind leads to a clutter-free existence. You get the idea...
So can becoming a bed-maker actually change your life?

39.7% Yes - get rid of the clock changes

58.5% No, I enjoy it
