“Little things in life matter.” In this episode, we chat about how something as (seemingly) inconsequential as making your bed can give you a sense of accomplishment and calmness at the end of those busy days as a work-from-home parent. Learning the little things sets kids up for the big things that come later.
We based this discussion on the book, “Make Your Bed – Little Things That Can Change Your Life…And Maybe The World,” by Admiral William H. McRaven (U.S. Navy Retired), and extended his idea to a few key spots around the house that can quickly be tidied (or maintained) on-the-go or in just a few minutes at the end of a hectic day.
