I hate to give an unconfirmed quotation, but the sentiment is apt. My spiritual director told me that someone once asked Robert Frost how he became such a great poet. He answered:
The first thing I do in the morning is to make my bed.
Unfortunately, I haven’t found a reliable citation. Even so, it’s worth noting that great virtue has its seed and root in small virtue.

Because of your post I have been more attentive to making my bed every morning (thank you). I found the full quote on a couple of “famous quotes” websites such as this one: http://www.quoteland.com/author.asp?AUTHOR_ID=127
“The first thing I do in the morning is to make my bed and while I am making up my bed I am making up my mind as to what kind of a day I am going to have.” -Robert Frost
I realize you can’t list everything, but is making your bed on your daily inventory?
