Ic3Bullet 01/20/18 2:15:44 AM #1:	https://youtu.be/0iaGn8pqQQE?t=58 It's only about a minute and a half from where I have the video marked, but for those who won't watch it: He basically says that by making your bed each morning, you have completed the first task of the day, and it will give you a sense of pride that will encourage you to complete more tasks that day. He goes on to say that it also teaches you that the little things matter, because if you can't do the little things right, you'll never be able to do the big things right. All fair enough in my opinion, but I disagree with one of the last statements he makes. "If by chance you have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that is made." But getting into a bed that is made actually requires more effort than one that is not made. To get into a made bed, first you have to fold the sheets down before you get in. If my sheets are already thrown down from where I got out of bed that morning, I can skip that step and just hop straight into bed! So I want to see if anyone here has an opinion on what advantages there are to making your bed, other than making it look good if you have company coming over or giving yourself a sense of pride. Does it make the bed warmer or something? <cite>Ic3Bullet posted [p:894413551] in Do you agr...

I have respect for anyone who has served in the military.

Im sure there are many successful people who do not make their beds in the morning or at all, and he did acknowledge that its just a simple task. But that wasnt the real message anyway. Hes advising us to do something both positive and productive the moment you wake up. Given enough time, this becomes a habit that will help build overall discipline. It sounds easy enough to do, so Im going to try it out. --- ... <cite>Lorenzo_2003 posted [p:894417938] in Do you agr... [t:76221965]...</cite> <quote>I agree with that officer, for the most part.
