Does making your bed really change your life?

A woman making her bed.

Growing up, Joseph Mwaniki remembers having altercations with his mother over not making his bed in the morning.

His mother would demonstrate how to make his bed, which she did with "attention to detail", a lesson he never seemed to pick up. It was not just throwing the blankets (there were no duvets then) over the bed, but you had to do it to her standard and satisfaction. She would whisper that a streamlined bed would make her proud.
