Steph, when will your printables be available again? Or where can I find them? Your web site seems to be out of commission. Thank you in advance! 🙏
@charityneverfaileth2211 ай бұрын
You do them on top, but only once your basic habits/ routines are automatic. If you do too much at once you probably won't. Stick with it. Wait until your routines are super established before starting zones.
@joannwagner49402 жыл бұрын
I found you last year and I can't thank you enough. I am amazed what I get done in less than an hour a day. I have 4 zones and I declutter something each week in each zone. One cabinet one dresser drawer. I use to not do it because who wants to tear a whole dresser apart but one drawer I can handle that. Last month I opened all my kitchen cabinets and there was nothing to declutter. I stood there confused for a minute then I realized this system has done its job. Thanks again.
@re_patel2 жыл бұрын
I'm so overwhelmed, I just feel like where do I start. I think I should declutter a drawer a week from different zones. What a good idea.
@joannwagner49402 жыл бұрын
I know how you feel. When I first started watching Steph I shined my sink for a week the next week I added my bed and swipe and swish then before I knew it I had my zones set up and it works great for me. Her saying "Good enough is good enough." has helped me so much.

So happy to see you’re back doing videos! I’ve missed your cheery encouragement and motivation. This weekend I’m doing prep (decluttering, figuring out zones, cleaning tasks I want to accomplish in my zones, inventory of freezers, fridges, pantry) and will start the routines on Monday. I have a tip that I have done for many years that I’d like to share with you: when you unload your dishwasher empty the bottom rack first so that when you unload the top rack the water that is inevitably always on coffee cups and “Tupperware” doesn’t drip onto the dishes that would’ve still been in the bottom rack! So excited to follow along with you on this journey! Many blessings to you and your family!

thank you so much, you have helped me break debilitating perfectionism. I’m a new, young mom and wife, and what has perpetuated me is getting dishes done after dinner. So many days it was just too overwhelming and I was exhausted. And I just couldn’t tick a check mark if they weren’t 100% complete. Last night, for the first time I set a timer and gave myself a check when it was done! NOT when the dishes were. It gave me enough motivation to actually restart the timer, and I was left with 3 dishes to do in the AM. I had so much less to do in the morning all because I allowed myself to stop when the timer did. And instead of marking that day an F for fail, I got a check for progress!

Run dishwasher immediately after dinner and empty before you go to bed and then load any after dinner snacks or drink dishes. No filling the sink with dirty dishes at breakfast, dishwasher is ready for all dirty dishes as used in the AM, they go directly into the dishwasher and you don't have to start the day with emptying it. Game changer, I will even just use a Quick Wash cycle if I got delayed and it gets to be 7 pm or so after dinner to make sure it is done before I go to bed - Clean sink and day is done.

Ok I've been doing a modified version of the Flylady method. I have EDS so I cut out the timers because I have to work slow or I'll hurt myself. This has worked great so far and for the first time in 9.5 years my home is presentable. I'm thinking of making a mini version of zone(areas) cleaning for my kids to do their rooms and bathroom. I can't expect them to completely clean their room in one day if I'm not cleaning the whole house in one day either. I think this will be the key to them getting control over their rooms. I've got to sit down and do up daily routine, chores, and areas of their room (instead of zones). I'm a firm believer of "I don't live here by myself and I'm not going to clean it all by my self."
