\u201cIf you want to change the world, start off by making your bed,\u201d Admiral William H. McRaven once said. Admiral McRaven argued in the book \u201cMake Your Bed<\/em>\u201d the importance of making the bed every morning. It may seem like a small task, but the more an individual continues to practice simple tasks, the more significant it becomes in one\u2019s overall well-being. \u201cIf you make your bed every morning you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride, and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another.\u201d Admiral McRaven further explained why it is so imperative to making the bed. \u201cBy the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed. Making your bed will also reinforce the fact that little things in life matter. If you can\u2019t do the little things right, you will never do the big things right,\u201d says Admiral McRaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to NectarSleep.com, a site from a mattress brand, making the bed puts a tiny achievement that gives one the strength to complete more valuable tasks. \u201cI feel a difference when I do make my bed and feel a sense of pride. I feel like I did more than just a simple task like making my bed,\u201d said Dylan McAdoo, a sophomore at Ponte Vedra High School. If one focuses on the little things, it will make the big things a lot easier. When someone makes the bed, a gust of motivation hits an individual\u2019s mind, which leads to more tasks being done. \u201cWhen making my bed, I feel like I\u2019ve already accomplished something even though I have just gotten up. It gives me a sense of positivity knowing I\u2019ve started my day off on the right foot. I am definitely more productive in my day when I make my bed,\u201d said Jake Hilley, a sophomore at PVHS. Making the bed also encourages one to organize one\u2019s room. According to NectarSleep.com, people who spend time making their beds are 19 percent more likely to have a better sleep than people who don\u2019t. When one sleeps better, it helps with weight loss and the balancing of mood and energy levels. Studies show that a clean bed and room lead to a more productive life, less stress, setting of goals, and productivity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Rocco Garcia \u201cIf you want to change the world, start off by making your bed,\u201d Admiral William H.
