The 2-Minute Morning Habit That Changed My Life

We are obsessed with “Morning Routines.” Wake up at 4 AM. Run 10 miles. Read a book. Journal.

Who has time for that?

I tried the “Billionaire Morning Routine” and failed. Then I tried something smaller. Making my bed.

The “Small Win” Theory

Admiral William H. McRaven famously said, “If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.”

Why?

1. Momentum: You complete the first task of the day. It gives you a small sense of pride.
2. Order: No matter how chaotic your day gets, you come home to a clean space.
3. Discipline: It proves you can stick to a commitment, even a tiny one.

It takes 120 seconds. But that tiny ripple of “task complete” sets the tone for the next 16 hours.
