Reading
Title: The Habit of Making Your Bed
Text: Making the bed is a small morning habit that can make a big difference. For some, it’s the first task of the day, creating a sense of order and accomplishment. A tidy bed can make the whole room look cleaner, and starting the day with a simple chore can set a positive tone. While not everyone chooses to make their bed, those who do find that it helps create a calm and organized environment. Peter, for example, doesn’t usually make his bed because he’s in a rush each morning. For him, it’s a minor detail, but for others, making the bed is an essential part of their daily routine. Whether or not you make your bed, finding small ways to stay organized can make a difference in how you feel throughout the day.
