Day 1 || Make Your Damn Bed

Day 1 || Make Your Damn Bed

(REMASTERED: August 2023)


Day 1 - Why should I make my bed everyday?

  1. You have one! Gratitude is a scientifically backed way to improve well-being. Starting your day with genuine mindfulness can change the game.
  2. It makes your room look clean! Typically, the bed is the largest, most eye-catching item in your room and it’s a high pay off for very little tucking and straightening.
  3. It’s gratifying! A quick first task of the day, done in under 2 minutes? Sign me up. Plus, it sets a tone of ‘accomplishment’ that leads into the rest of your day.
  4. It instantly feels better! Makes us less tempted to climb back in + future-you gets to benefit from a few moments of getting your shit together.
  5. It’s unnecessary! I think that’s why it’s so powerful of a motivator for me, because it’s not essential, which feels like a luxury item.

Truly though, if making your bed ain't your thing? Don’t stress over it. I don’t make my bed every day and I wrote a whole podcast about it. I genuinely don’t judge ANYONE for any style of surviving. But I also have benefited from small changes, and making your bed can sometimes be a good place to start.


Make Your Damn Bed is a real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you make your bed every morning. Each season is 66 days long to incorporate a healthy habit of your choosing into your daily life. Build momentum - better your life.
