April 24, 20206 yr We are all getting a little punchy lately, so let’s change the course of conversation a bit. This is well worth the 15 mins of your life, and I highly recommend taking time out for it. Adm. McRaven This guy is a personal hero of mine for a lot of reasons, his insight and mental toughness is of particular inspiration.
April 24, 20206 yr I don't make my bed for the same reason I don't tie my shoes after I take them off.

April 24, 20206 yr Have to make my bed each morning. And it’s for the same reasons the good Admiral stated. You can have a shitty, terrible, awful, day - but - at least you have a nicely made bed to get into when you get home.

My wife’s choice of duvet, bedding material, and mattress makes that a bit difficult. My dad was Marine before I was born...and I was ‘trained’ to make my bed every morning from a very young age. He DID bounce a quarter off my bed, And I was subject to room inspections from time to time. In my household, I’m responsible for making the bed...in better at it than my wife, and I kind of enjoy it. It’s a mundane task that I take pride in...and I get to think back on my dad teaching me to do it.
