Years ago I looked up FlyLady to garner some help with home cleaning. I needed to hear I wasn't the only one with so much housework all the time. I needed to know how others manage it. I gained insight there and learned her systems. I tried a few for myself.
But then I realized it was too regimented. And, though I may swish my bathroom in the morning, what about the kids' bathroom?
Recently, I returned to the FlyLady group. Though I have some good systems in place, I want a refresher course. I also admire her business model. She's really got a lot going on.
So the first thing is make the bed in the morning. There are theories on that. One is that you should let the bed air. I guess if sheets are changed weekly, it's not as big a deal. Being a midlife woman with night sweats, though, I feel that bed often needs to air. So I will be flexible.
She also talks about showering and doing makeup right away. I can shower right away but putting contacts in is a problem. My eyes have to de-gunk. So I'll have to think about the timing of that.
She says dress to lace-up shoes. I'm thinking, "Who wears lace-up shoes?" I wear them to clean, garden, or to the gym. Otherwise they aren't my go-to shoe. I am a freelance writer. I don't want to wear lace-ups all day. But then again, maybe if I do lace-up in my outdoor shoes I'll actually walk the dog or get to the gym more. Something to think about for fall.
How about you? Do you follow FlyLady rules?

(Do you think FlyLady means this kind of lace-up shoe?)
How about you? Do you follow FlyLady rules?
