"Make Your Bed" is a book written by Admiral William H. McRaven, based on his commencement address at the University of Texas at Austin. The book provides life lessons drawn from Admiral McRaven's experiences in Navy SEAL training and military service.
In the context of making your bed, Admiral McRaven emphasizes the importance of starting your day with a small task that can be accomplished quickly. Making your bed may seem like a mundane and simple activity, but it sets the tone for the rest of the day by instilling discipline, order, and a sense of accomplishment.
The idea is that completing a small task early in the morning gives you a sense of pride and encourages a mindset of taking on larger challenges throughout the day. It reinforces the idea that success often starts with the small things, and attention to detail and discipline in daily routines can lead to success in more significant endeavors.
