FlyLady

Anybody a FlyLady? I was years ago but have decided to give it a try again. All I really remember is to shine your sink each night before you go to bed. I always feel better when I have a clean sink and no dishes awaiting me first thing in the morning.

I definitely need some motivation when it comes to cleaning out clutter. So I think FlyLady will be a big help. I know I can spend 15 minutes de-cluttering. I also like the idea of taking a garbage bag and going through the house to throw 27 things away. There are some items that I can eBay or give away. But there are some things that I’m not sure anybody will be able to use as it might be broken or missing pieces. If it’s a large enough item, I could try it on Freecycle or Craig’s List just to see if anyone has a need for it.

I’m hoping by doing the FlyLady principles that I can de-clutter as well as keep a cleaner house. A messy house just in general makes me less productive.

    are you reading my mind!!!

    I did flylady a couple years ago but I do not wear shoes in my house so it was a loss right at that point!

    I need to do something since this summer my house has got out of hand and I can not stand it. It drives me nuts. I do the bare minimum to get by. My room is usually the last thing that gets done…

    I plan to start on Monday… that is the plan

    I flirted with the FlyLady system a few years ago…definitely a neater home makes me at least *feel* more productive…I need to dust off my FlyLady book! :)

    I just found my control journal under my bed *blush* along with other things… I need to get back into that.

    I did it a few years ago, but got overwhelmed when I could not catch up with all the emails. The new routine that revolved around shining the sink with Windex stuck with me a while until I slowly but surely sunk back into my slovenly ways . . .

    It would be awesome if I could get inspired again . . .

    I don’t know..flylady gives me a headache..don’t you feel like she makes it much more confusing than it needs to be? I mean were talking cleaning a house..not rocket science right. I just figure make a schedule and stick to it. The only thing I really dont like about flylady is that by the time you get done with all the zones…the first zone is a mess again..so your house is never clean all at the same time. But hey thats just me. I think if you can find a system that works for you than stick with it!! If its flylady than great! Go for it!! Good luck, hope you find your housewife groove!!
