Fascinating. I’ve seen at least 2 prominent books (one on a featured books rack in Barnes & Noble) by ex-military officers proclaiming what a life- and world-changing habit it can be to fastidiously make your bed every morning.

Looks like there may be a scientifically valid connection between consistently done arbitrary tasks (or rituals) and personal success.
