This is FlyLady's list that has grown by leaps and bounds due to her special way
of weaving housecleaning tips with homespun humor and daily musings about
life. She has a no-nonsense approach to getting your house and your life in
order. She mixes housekeeping advice with insights about life and love and
anything else that is on her mind. This list is whatever FlyLady decides it should
be -- it's her list. She expects subscribers to decide if they get anything out of it
or not. Those who do are invited to be part of the cyber family. Those who don't
are encouraged to unsubscribe. Only you can decide what is right for you. If you
can't figure that much out, don't blame FlyLady!
A Letter From FlyLady: Are You Looking for a Magic Pill?
FlyLady’s Personal Testimonial - December 25, 1999
Testimonials From Our Members.
FlyLady uses the Sidetracked Home Executive (SHE) system as a basis for
organizing her home and her life. She adds humor, spunk, and a dose of common
sense to her advice, but be prepared - FlyLady does not allow whining. You have
to get off your "Franny"!
First, you join as a FlyBaby. You will receive your e-mail Welcome Letters from FlyLady
instructing you on how to get started. You will also receive regular e-mail
reminders from FlyLady about zones, decluttering, laundry, shoes (honestly -
shoes are very important here!) and more. Don't feel overwhelmed! FlyLady will
keep you on track using small baby steps. And FlyBabies - no peeking at all of the
routines, etc. shown on the FlyLady website. You are just getting started!
Now, as you progress, Flylady will send you e-mail to help you develop
routines to get you going in
the morning and to send you off to sleep in the evening. She's tough here -
routines are very important! It takes 21 days to form a habit, but for SHEs, it
takes 28 days. FlyLady is going to insist you shine your sink too - you'll soon find
out why!
Decluttering is next. FlyLady will help you declutter your house using Hot Spot Fire
Drills and the
27-Fling Boogie. If the thought of decluttering your home is overwhelming - don't
worry - Flylady has been there and knows what you are going through! In fact,
FlyLady still has her own "dungeon" of clutter that she is working on!
It doesn’t matter whether you are a male or female, single or married, working in
or out of the home, have kids or not, this can work for you. You can easily adapt
FlyLady’s system to fit your own lifestyle. You will find that with time, your house
and life will pull together.
"My prayer for all my fellow
SHEs is that each finds happiness and pride in ourselves and our
accomplishments. That we raise our children to be good, productive, and happy
people. And that we light up a room with our smile." - FlyLady
