Do you make your bed every/most mornings? Do you not, because, well, it's only going to get messed up again tonight, so why bother?
I challenge you to make your bed every day for the next week. As soon as you roll out of bed, pull the covers straight. Toss on all the pillows and plump them. Open the blinds. If someone is still in your bed, just make it around him. Leave your bedroom door open.
Everytime you pass by your bedroom during the day, you'll smile. You deserve a beautiful place for yourself.
Once a week, strip off all of your bed linnens and put on your spare set. You only need two sets, so bag up all of the old ugly ones for charity. And then get them out of your house. Every linnen closest needs more room. This will make you smile too.
Don't know how to fold a fitted sheet? Me either. But it doesn't matter. I fold up my clean flat and fitted sheets, along with a pillow case and stuff them all inside the other pillow case. Then I fold over the end of the stuffed pillow case and place it on the shelf. No more hunting for a matching set, it's all together. And nobody would know the fitted sheet is all bunched up inside.
Happy bed making! It takes less than two minutes to make your bed in the morning and open the blinds. It takes less than ten minutes to completely change your linens once a week. Treat yourself like a princess and have a lovely place to lay your head after a long day of wondrous accomplishments. You deserve it!

Yes, I do make my bed as soon as I get out of it. It just looks better. Unmade beds are messy looking, reminding you maybe your life is a mess, too.
I'm slack about some household things, but I do want my bed made daily. The hubby is the last one out and usually makes it.
I always make my bed as soon as I get up. If I delay five minutes, my husband would do it. We taught our kids to fix their beds before going to school when they were five. And now, I see that my granddaughters 5 and 7, make their beds in the morning before even taking their breakfast. It's a matter of habits. Anything that's a habit is easy to do.
