The best morning habit that takes 1 minute
Make your bed every morning. It's a great morning habit that gives you a sense of accomplishment.
The original idea came from UT alum Adm. William H. McRaven in a speech to University of Texas students.
Making your bed every morning:
- Instills discipline
- Allows you to accomplish something at the beginning of every day -Momentum is critical to a great day.
- Can spark joy in your life - When you come home from a long day and see a tidy bed, how does it make you feel? Now imagine coming home and seeing a messy bed, how does that make you feel? Pretty sure the former sparks joy for you while the latter doesn't.
- Prevents future embarrassment - "Hey, why don't I stop by your place with you?" asks your friend as you walk home together. Then as you open the door you realize with horror that your place is a mess and your bed isn't made. Don't be that person. Save yourself the embarrassment.
- It has a ripple effect - Accomplishing one great thing can leads to another. Awesomeness is contagious.
Making your bed every morning is one of my favorite habits.
