Is it wrong that I've never achieved any satisfaction or sense of accomplishment from making my bed?

Is it wrong that I've never achieved any satisfaction or sense of accomplishment from making my bed?
- lucumo 5y agoNo. It usually even fills me with the opposite feeling. I don't like sleeping in "made beds". They're very constricting. A made bed may look tidy, but I don't look at my bed other than when I go to sleep.
- everybodyknows 5y agoNot wrong. Try this alternative: Relocate your bed within the room, even if only by a few inches. If better, keep the modest improvement to your local environment. If worse, move the bed back and keep the knowledge.
- soperj 5y agoHonestly I feel like there are people out there that are massively affected by the environment around them. They can't work without a tidy desk, eat without the cupboards closed etc. A tidy desk or closed doors don't effect my mental well being, neither a bed in disarray, or bed not centered in the room? I go about my day blissfully unaware of any of it.
- mlboss 5y agoI also don't achieve any satisfaction in making up bed. Yes it looks nice but its not an achievement just a necessary task.
- dmd 5y agoWhy is it necessary?
- ryandvm 5y agoIt's not even necessary. The practice is just a testament to the fact that some people find solace and comfort in superficial busywork.
- gverrilla 5y agoI've heard a single good argument for making beds: insects. But I don't care and still don't make mine :)
- AA-BA-94-2A-56 5y agoI'm inclined to agree, but when I moved in with my girlfriend that changed. My girlfriend is one of those people who finds fulfillment in busywork. She likes a made bed. So now I find meaning in making the bed, because she likes it made.
