Does cleanliness define success?

As Caressa Woods woke up in the morning and made her bed very neatly, she never knew that this simple decision would be so impactful.
Every morning, Woods would continue to do this simple act out of muscle memory continuing on as a junior at Marlow High School.
Whether it was Christmas or just a regular old-school day, she would make her bed.
“I make my bed in the mornings because it starts my day off by being productive,” expressed Woods. “Staying organized has benefited my life because being organized keeps me on track with school, golf, and other parts of my life.”
The main question though, is if being organized is beneficial to people’s overall health.
One study from Harvard University suggests that keeping activities and tasks in people’s lives is important.
Their main reason for the study is that it helps people to be more successful while performing several tasks in their daily lives.
For many people, this will be absolutely true, but that is not the case for some people.
One person that is an excellent student, friend, and athlete is sophomore Erick Busch.
“When I wake up in the morning, I usually just get ready and continue on through my day without making my bed,” declared Busch. “I am perfectly fine with not being extremely organized because I think that you don’t really need it.”
Unlike some people, when Busch wakes up, he just gets out of bed and is ready to continue on throughout his day.
As Busch journeys to high school, he continues to be a very responsible high schooler and leader for many other students.
There will always be differences between people whether it is food, or simply just making their beds.
Not that one person is right or wrong, it is just as simple as what makes them comfortable in their lives.
