Tucking in sheets
Making the bed is the daily task of arranging bedding into a neat, orderly state after sleeping—smoothing sheets, tucking corners, positioning pillows.
The phrase treats the routine as creating something: you don't merely straighten the bed, you *make* it.
I never bother making the bed on weekends.
