      My aunt once told me “making your bed is like making yourself a present you can unwrap later”.

      Didn’t inspire me at all

        As someone who has perpetually battled the blankets never being correct - you’re gonna end up doing it anyway. The only difference is that one way looks much nicer than the other, and has the added benefit of being a start-up ritual.

      My mom just moved into an assisted-living facility and immediately had a fall trying to make her own bed. They of course make the beds for you there but only after breakfast and my mom’s mind at 7:30 am couldn’t handle the “mess” … of one corner of the blanket being turned down. Meanwhile I just sleep on my mattress with a mexican blanket over me.

      Yeah, like I need an entire robot for a chore I only do every six months.

      Alright, maybe I could use one…
