Flylady Crash Course - How The Whole System Works
How to put all the pieces of the Flylady system together so it works best for YOU! There are so many components to the Flylady cleaning system that it can become a bit confusing, especially if you are a beginner. This video will explain all of the components and how they fit together.
Special thanks to my Dad and sister who are currently adopting the system in their house and wanted a single video explanation. xo

@marie-louiseweerheim4224 4 жыл бұрын

@@poolahpot no, you can start any time. The secret slob has a series here on KZfaq to help you get started on daily routines! I found that so much time and energy can go to decluttering, (un)packing (we were moving) etc. And then for example piles of dishes (daily routine) stressed me out. When the daily routines go smootly you can add other things like decluttering. What I do now is declutter while I'm in a zone. So for example the week you clean the kitchen you also declutter in the kitchen.

I'm starting with baby steps again and I've loved watching your videos about baby steps and building my routines.

It is wonderful when someone who has struggled with something in their life, and has overcome it, is now helping others with the same problem. A lot of this stuff is mental. If the directions are confusing then we are going to go even further down the rabbit hole. We are already confused. That's why our houses look like they do. I open a cupboard and everything falls in my head. Complicated explanations can easily lead to overwhelmed feelings. So, gratitude gratitude gratitude. I am still in baby steps but already was starting to feel a bit confused about how the program looks overall. This cleared up a lot of confusion.

If you read the book and follow what you can, it's a no fail system. If you struggle with procrastination, you'll find it hard to get going. That ofcourse applies to other cleaning/ decluttering systems too. I work in my zone and 5 minutes each other zone. Only 35 minutes a day. We spend more then that checking Facebook.

Well so far today i have finished and put away all of my laundry, Ive had a stack of clean stuff on my bedroom chair for months that ive just worn clothes out of the pile but never got that pile put away. its done now. and i unloaded the dishwasher, but today instead of throwing those dishes that didnt get clean for the last 10 dishwasher trips i actually washed them by hand and put them away. i filled a bag with clothes i no longer wear while i was hanging up the stuff from the pile. thank you i almost cant wait till tuesday to hit the bathrooms.

That made me feel so great and more inspired. I notice in the last 2 days that they have been cleaning out their own areas too. You have helped me get a handle on doing this system in a real life way and I can't thank you enough! My life is changing in such wonderful ways and I am loving less stress. I feel like I am starting to run things instead of things running me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

I’m 8 weeks in as a new Flybaby. Gradually making my way through the whole house, every cupboard, every pile, every drawer, 15 minutes at a time. Got my daily routines and weekly home blessing going. Fresh sheets are being truly appreciated. Now started meal planning and using my calendar better. Love the Basic Weekly Plan as well, especially Anti-Procrastination day. I’ve still got a way to go, but wow, my house is looking so much better and we are all loving the fact that I am stepping up to be the CEO of our home, without stressing myself out.

Hi Steph! So about 2 weeks ago I stumbled across Fly Lady...it defiantly caught my attention! I’m fact I started something similar on my own and well....it never really launched!🙃 Thank you for this video!! Love it & understand the system. I took your advice and got the book from the library. Finished the book in a week, made my control journal, used a binder I had, saw a peel & stick color page and put in the front (just did yesterday while video chatting with sisters😊) I have been doing baby steps and started putting into place my routines....come Monday morning I’m doing the zone decluttering! Oh! 2 things I did was pull all my cleaning supplies to one spot & pitched empty & never used items & split it up to Kitchen Bathroom Game room bathroom. Now I only have what I use and in each location so I’m not running for supplies, it’s easily within reach! I have always loved to clean 🤷‍♀️ but this is what I need-simple doable not all day, now I’ll find the time to scrapbook! Thanks to you and The Queen Fly Lady-Marla 😁

@@calisongbird Wow, that was a great observation! First off, I love The FlyLady, and I am a huge fan. I, too, think her official website is difficult to navigate. There is way too much information in one place. Considering her mission is to help people overcome clutter, "clutter" is an apt word to describe it. It looks very "busy." I have tried to read it, but it was difficult. Also, the links to other parts of the site are tiny and super-close to each other. It could be an amazing website. Unfortunately, it looks like it's probably had the same format for severe years. I have wanted to send her a fan message to ask her to consider re-desiging it. She could keep the charming graphics but she could include more links in the way of cute icons and a welcoming side panel leading users to different parts of her system, as well as to her Facebook page, You Tube channels, etc. It's sad, because she could be unwittingly discouraging people from learning about her wonderful FlyLady system.

I'm not sure which of your video's popped up in my feed, but I thankful that it did. I watched a few and pondered the possibilities. Now, I've always kept a clean house with the exception of a couple of rooms and dishes on the counter. I was working myself crazy trying to keep up while commuting an hour each day to my job. Weekends were full of long lists to accomplish, and by Sunday night I was exhausted and drained. I felt that I never had any fun with my family or got a chance to rest. That has all changed - because one night, exhausted and tired, I dragged myself in the kitchen and cleaned my sink. Then, I did it again. And again. And now, its a nightly ritual that brings an unexpected joy. I've slowly integrated the Flylady System and built a control journal over the past month. My husband and son take part in the weekly home blessing -- and actually look forward to it. This weekend, was completely different. The errand and grocery lists were gone. An entire day's worth of laundry tasks were also gone. Rather than work, I filled the weekend with family fun and genuine rest. The I cannot say thank you enough. I adore your channel and appreciate you.

I am in the decluttering part but since I am off for the summer I want to do it all so I can see the system go full circle. I would be better off if I got my decluttering done so when school starts up I can start zone work and implement more of the system. I like how we can all adjust to make the system work for ourselves.Thank you for the encouragement!

We have a wonderful woman who comes & does the deep cleaning (blessing) to help out, which is life changing & such a blessing. So i just do the day to day cleaning so it’s great to have the zones to direct where i should focus that week.

Perfect! You are making it work for you 😊 The routines take care of a lot of the chaos!

This summary is SO much more helpful than the actual FlyLady website, which I find outdated, cluttered, and overwhelming (ironic, right?)

Thanks for your inspiration. I have my morning & evening routine down but I'm still not finished decluttering. I think I'm one step forward & two steps back. It seems that way anyhow. I really appreciate this crash course & believe me you can't go over any of it too many times for it to stick.

Decluttering was hard for me, since it seemed to never end. If you have the routines going well then you are doing great! :)

What I Like Best About Doing Laundry is Once it's In Being Done. You Have a Chance to Do Two Things @ Once. My Main Rule is to Think About What's the Best thing You Could be Doing at Any Given Moment. Rule #2 is Make Progress Every Single Day.

What a great video! You are a great teacher! 😀 You touched on the whole system in a thorough, entertaining way. It's obvious you KNOW and USE the Fly Lady's system, and you explained it beautifully. I wish I had been as poised as you when I was your age! I do want to share that I know we are living during a time when saving money is very important, but the wisdom shared by The Fly Lady is worth A LOT, and buying her books would be a great way to show gratitude. They are reasonably priced, especially the Kindle editions. Of course, if a library has them, borrowing them is a great idea. The Fly Lady staff run a great KZfaq channel and website, and their official Facebook group has members who are really involved. They also sell merchandise for the home. Again, thank you for this video. You have a new subscriber!! 😀

This really helps. Idk if it was one of her books I was reading or somewhere on her site and it was saying basically if u don't want to shine ur sink ur not going to succeed. And it took a long time to get what ur talking about here. I still don't do it but I hope to start soon.

@shanay1212 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you. This is my 3rd go at using her system. I keep getting drawn to it, but I didn't know how I would do it all. This sounds feasible. Thanks again
