If You Want My Advice #1

I have found that it is the little things that make a big difference.  Making your bed in the morning is one of those little things.  I know, you want to sleep as late as you possibly can so you have your morning routine timed to the millisecond.  Shower, groom, dress, grab coffee and head out the door.  But you'd be surprised at how much just making your bed can change things for you later in the day. 
Just pulling the covers up and smoothing them out makes the rest of the room seem tidier and more inviting.  You can have clutter elsewhere, but when the bed looks neat, everything looks neat.  An army of dust bunnies can be amassing under the bed, but when the top of the bed is tidy, it somehow holds back the masses.  Of course, you'll want to start with a bed that is simple to make.  Give up on the hospital corners and don't knock yourself out if you can't bounce a quarter on the thing.  Just grab the covers all together and pull them up, fluff the pillows and lay them where the top of the covers are.  No one will know that you did a somewhat haphazard job.  It will look much better already.  If you have an array of decorative pillows that were pushed to the floor the night before, pick them up and spread them around.  Now the floor is clear and the pillows are hiding any other lumps that may have been missed.  Doesn't it look better already?  It takes just seconds but makes a big improvement.  I usually make my bed while I'm swishing mouthwash around in my mouth or waiting for the curling iron to heat up.  That's about how long it takes. 
At the other end of the day, when you walk into the bedroom, everything seems more inviting.  You won't have to sort out the covers.  One person hogged the covers, they're laying half on and half off the bed, pillows have been flung aside.  You want to GO to bed but you have to MAKE the bed before climbing in.  Making the bed in the morning eliminates this routine.  And because the covers have been smoothed out all day, the material feels so much better on your skin.  You can peel the covers back, lay your head on the pillow and fall asleep.  Sleep well!
