I don't really see what this has to do with making your bed in the morning. It's not like we spend significant chunks of time looking at them.

Your bed doesn't have to be in your field of view to be part of your mental model of the world.

Also, you don't have to spend a large chunk of time looking at something for it to have a large effect. For example, I wouldn't be surprised if having an unmade bed perturbs your morning routine and makes it more likely that you forget your phone / keys / important documents.

Noooo, but I can't really think why else it'd be loaded, I don't think everything we know about is loaded into working memory at any one time.
