To make or not to make ?

In a statement for R U OK? Day Deputy Chief Medical Officer Nick Coatsworth spoke about how helpful it can be to set yourself achievable goals and stick to some kind of routine to get through lockdown.

One of the simplest things you can do in the morning, and this was said to me once at a leadership seminar by someone who is a very good leader, is make your bed," said the Dr. "It sounds so simple, but... structure can be very important to keep you on track."

Aside from the important mental health side of things, his comments raised for me and Michael Hing a discussion where he revealed hed NEVER ONCE made the bed, said Hobba, who prefers his sheets tight, taut and freshly made each day.

Who cares about making the bed!? said Hing. NO ONE NEEDS TO MAKE THE BED! Hings argument seems to rest on the fact that a) whos got the time? b) no need to be messing around with hands down the sides of beds c) it makes zero difference to him whether its done or not. Hing! MAKE YOUR BED, you ANIMAL!!! Rach from Indooroopilly
