According to a recent study, people who make their beds are more adventurous, confident, gregarious, and high-maintenance.
Here are three reasons why and how making your bed can contribute towards a character.

Here are three reasons why and how making your bed can contribute towards a character.
1. A sense of achievement
It may appear to be a minor effort, but making your bed first thing in the morning provides you a sense of success. It only takes a few minutes of your time each morning to set a great tone for the rest of the day.
2. Creating Good Habits
When making your bed becomes a habit, you may notice that other positive habits will automatically follow. You now keep your clothing off the floor, and dusting has become a necessary habit that you like. Once you realize how quickly you can do these duties, you may begin to incorporate these habits into other areas of the house, such as the kitchen and living room. Before you realize it, your entire home will seem like a delightful, relaxing getaway.
3. Reduced levels of stress
A decluttered bed contributes to a decluttered environment. A clutter-free environment leads to a clutter-free mentality. A clutter-free mind leads to a clutter-free existence. You get the idea...
So can becoming a bed-maker actually change your life?

The myth that switching your car's petrol or diesel engine off and then turning it back on is bad for your vehicle or uses more fuel isn't true. It may have an impact on your battery, but it is minimal and no reason not to switch off.

If you idle for 10 seconds or more, then turning off your engine and turning it back on does not burn more fuel than idling. So stick to the 10-second rule. If you're idling for more than 10 seconds, turn off your engine - particularly when your vehicle is close to other people.
Think that you or your ancestors know better, or just don't want it to be true? Fair enough, sorry to bother you. Can't believe it and want to know more? Read the GenLess story.
Hi, I am making compost and need organic matter and especially leaves. If anyone has deciduous trees that will soon drop their leaves (or already have!) can you text me and I will come rake and take away your leaves. I will bring my rake and wool fadges to put it in.

If anyone has deciduous trees that will soon drop their leaves (or already have!) can you text me and I will come rake and take away your leaves. I will bring my rake and wool fadges to put it in. If you have grass clippings or bark that would also be great! Thanks Debbie 0277822377

With overseas tourists set to return to NZ shortly, we're looking at doing a light-hearted piece on the odd questions Kiwis have been asked about NZ. You may have seen the post doing the rounds on social media at the moment asking whether English is spoken here and suggesting NZ is a state of Australia (see below). Have you ever been asked anything surprising about NZ? Feel free to message me or comment below. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in the article. Thanks very much for your help and happy travels.
