I'm Taking Flying Lessons

I have decided to give it a try. I have been hearing about Flylady for years but never really thought it would work. I definitely need a routine to get it all done. In case any of you don't know FlyLady it is a website dedicated to helping you organize your house, your time, your life, whatever to get on track. It tells you day by day what tasks to complete and eventually it becomes routine. I need to be organized in order to be productive. I always tell my husband if the house is cluttered my brain is cluttered, and he says, "well I hope the house doesn't burn down".lol 

      With three kids, a husband, a cat, and a dog my entire house will look this way before bedtime. I don't mind the mess I just want a quick organized way to take care of it. Maybe Flylady can help. I live in CHAOS(can't have anyone over syndrome)lol  So let's go shine our kitchen sink.                              

FlyLady's Eleven Commandments

  1. Keep your sink clean and shiny.

  2. Get dressed every morning, even if you don’t feel like it. Don’t forget your lace-up shoes.

  3. Do your morning and before bedtime routine everyday.

  4. Don’t allow yourself to be sidetracked by the computer.  (Thats a hard one)

  5. Pick up after yourself. If you get it out, put it away.

  6. Don’t try to do two projects at once. ONE JOB AT A TIME. (Thats another hard one)

  7. Don’t pull out more than you can put back in one hour.

  8. Do something for yourself everyday, maybe every morning and night.

  9. Work as fast as you can to get the job done. This will give you more time to play later.

  10. Smile even when you don’t feel like it. It is contagious. Make your mind up to be happy and you will be.

  11. Don’t forget to laugh everyday. Pamper yourself, you deserve it.
