I do it because when my house is neat and tidy, I'm motivated to do other things.
having a dirty room is a pile of work that goes on my backlog. if the backlog is too big, I can't get anything done.
making my bed is an easy way to knock things off my list and stay motivated.
I have a hard time watching the news now too. News outlets only show "good news" which is the administration succeeding, which hurts. I want stories of hope.
