I remember years ago a general in I believe the Marines said in a commencement speech that you should always make your bed as soon as you wake up. That way, no matter how bad the rest of your day was, you'd already accomplished something. And when it was time to sleep, you'd have a freshly made bed to climb into.
I also read something in the Playboy Advisor when I was an impressionable teen that you should always make your bed before you leave for the day, because if fortune should smile on you and you return that evening with a a lovely woman, she would find a neatly made bed very sexy. Seemed a bit optimistic but fairly sound advice. Many moons ago I was friends with a woman I worked with, though I longed for us to be more than friends. A big group of us went out for happy hour and my friend indicated that she might also be interested in something more that friendship. We snuck away and went back to my place, and I've never been more happy that my bed was made and my apartment clean as a whistle (turns out she was a bit of a neat freak). Rather mind-blowing sex ensued. I've been rather meticulous about making my bed in the AM ever since.
