Bed making - enjoy it!

A lot of people consider making bed a chore every morning, however; once you have a positive attitude and quick and easy way of doing the bed, or beds (including children's bed), you won't feel that it is a chore or burden as much, you would probably be enjoying making your bed and/or your children's bed.

When doing a bed, all the pillows have to be removed temporary and put them somewhere close by. If there are lots of pillows near the bed's head board and there are no temporary spaces to put the pillows away while you are doing the bed, it would be a challenge every morning and you would feel a pain to put them into a different room every morning or every time making the bed. So, dedicate a couch, if there is a couch in the bedroom; or a chair or chairs in the bedroom to temporary put the pillows when doing the bed.

If the pillows are put on the chair, nicely layout the decorative pillows so the comforters etc.. can also be temporarily put on top of the pillows.

After the bed is cleared of pillows, then remove the comforter or duvet, put them nicely on the couch or if you have chairs, put them on top of the pillows on the chairs. Following the comforter or duvet, remove the blanket from the bed and put it temporarily on top of the comforter or duvet. By this time, every piece of bedding and pillows are cleared from the bed, there is no need to remove the sheet unless you are changing the sheets to fresh clean ones.

If you are re-using the sheets, you just need to straighten the top sheet, make sure drops on each side are even. Pull the sheet all the way up to the top of the mattress with about 6 inches over the top of the mattress. Now the top sheets is flat and straight.

Next, get the blanket from the couch or the chairs. Lay the blanket on top of the bed sheet and pull the blanket to the top of the mattress, also make sure drops on both sides are even. Now fold the extra 6 inches of the bed sheet over the blanket, then fold in the blanket and bed sheet together about 6 inches one more time.

Now, get the sleeping pillow(s) from the couch and chair. To have a good sleep at night, the pillows' feather or fiber fillings need to be loosen up. Use your arm to hit the center of the pillow lengthwise, flip the pillow and do the same thing, or you can toss the pillow around to loosen it up, then put them on the bed close to the head board.

The last piece of bedding to make is the comforter or duvet. Although comforter or duvet is generally heavier, but the work is a lot easier to do. You only need to put it to the edge of the headboard and ensure drops on both sides are even.

If you use bedspread, the bedspread is put over the comforter or duvet in the same fashion, that is, pull the bedspread to the headboard and ensure drops on both sides are even.

Finally comes the decorative pillows, put these pillows on top of the comforter or bedspread and if you enjoy arrange them to look nice, the decorative pillows can be arranged in lots of ways.

The last thing and most important thing is, do not think making bed is a chore, always, or at least try to enjoy making the bed. Just think that when you are tired at night, you have a nicely made bed for you to rest and sleep and recharge your energy. It is one's positive thinking that can change the way one look at things or work.

I like you attention to detail but especially to the power of positive thinking.

Thank you! I like to change everyday work into something that is more enjoyable to do. When the "chore" is not in the mind, tidy up or cleanup work will become more interesting.
