- 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

Flylady Crash Course - How The Whole System Works
I started with morning and evening routines for one month. I couldn't believe how quickly my house started looking better. Now I just add one new task to the morning and evening routine. Next month Zone cleaning.
Cheryl Fisher great idea
Cheryl Fisher Thank you for the example.
Cheryl Fisher
Did you have to do any decluttering first?
@@poolahpot no, you can start any time. The secret slob has a series here on UA-cam 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.
@@marie-louiseweerheim4224 what about home blessing
I can't thank you enough for sharing your Fly Lady life with us. It's really changing my life.
This is the best, most concise explanation EVER of how to incorporate the Flylady system!! Steph, you are a joy to watch and I'm so glad you have this channel. I'm a recovering binge cleaner and now have a doable system. Yay!Thank you and the Flylady for rehabilitating me. ❤😄❤
Recovering binge cleaner... you’ve diagnosed me 😩
@@WellBeing999 😄
I will love some one in Spanish will explain this the way you do it you’re awesome
Finally a clear explanation of the FlyLady's system that I understand... :) Thank you so much :)
I was thinking the same thing. This is the first time that the system really made sense to me.
@@jennifershaw4756 FlyLady isnt a great communicator
When I read the book, I had to take notes because there was so much info! It is overwhelming. I couldn't figure out how it worked until I started watching Diane in Denmark, then I found the Secret Slob. They've helped immensely.

This is sooo good.I finally get it why it has to go slowly.First evening and morning routines, then weekly, then zones. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a precise sum up.
Your system really works! I have not perfected it yet, but I am working at it. Getting organized at 66 it is never ti late to start.
Girl! This is the best FlyLady summary video I have seen! You've done a phenomenal job boiling it down to the most important things.
I'm starting with baby steps again and I've loved watching your videos about baby steps and building my routines.
I think sometimes we dont really believe that 15 mins per task could really make that much of a difference but when I clean alongside your videos, I always love seeing the result!
As an adult with ADHD who STRUGGLES, thank you for breaking this down and sharing!
I don't use the FlyLady system, but I do use you! I've been trying to build systems to help me deal with housework for a while and your videos have been really helpful in my finding and starting new routines that work for me. Every time you say "do what works for you" I feel like it's a vitamin pill that really works!! Thanks for your example and teaching.
Thx Steph. It’s SO great that you emphasise not doing all of it, only what helps and what you can do. Even doing just the weekly home blessing and 1 other 15-min session per week has made a huge difference for me.
Hi! Yay, I am glad to see you are sticking with it!
I like your approach to this system. I can't even remember how many times I have tried to start flylady and just stopped. You have explained it in a way that makes much more sense to me. I also love that you actually took the time to truly film each day of the process. I found the entire series so helpful.
Decluttering is so important before starting any cleaning routine.
It's amazing when your dad and your family is requesting videos. Beautiful.
I love " you can't clean clutter" that really stuck.
Totally! That is a Flylady original quote!
So true! You can't clean clutter! We have been in our home over 20 years! We have 3 girls( all in their 20's) so we have accumulated LOTS OF STUFF. MOSTLY I HAVE 😭
I made it a point to just focus on decluttering. From the attic to the garage! Let me just say it was an under taking.!🥴
But once it was done it was so nice! Now I will apply this towards keeping my home clean and decluttered🤗
Yes! It hit me in a way!
I love ALL your videos! I'm an older FLYbaby who recently retired and wanted to set up new routines and get back on the program with my newly-found free time. My dear DIL decided to do it with me - she is young and has kids the same ages as yours. We decided to work through your 21 day challenges together and it's been really fun and helpful for both of us even in different seasons of life! You simplify the program and make things so clear and easy to follow. We love you and appreciate you being so real and sharing your journey with us!
What a great idea to do it together! Thank you for the kind words 😊 I am glad you have each other!
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.
I think you have literally saved my sanity by taking the time to lay out this system so clearly, I saw the beauty of the Fly lady plan but struggled with how to put it all together. Thanks so much Steph!
I love Flylady techniques. I used to have a group called Clutterer's Anonymous, and thank goodness, someone came and told me about Flylady, just what I needed. What I love is to set my timer for20 minutes, 20 on, 20 off.
Thank you for this! I've been so confused. Now I can sit down and make a plan of attack. Love your videos so much. Thanks for being so sweet and honest.
Start with the 31 BabySteps on the FlyLady website.
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.
So true!
Your very best advice is to declutter first. You are so right about not being able to clean clutter efficiently. I cannot tell you the difference you've made in our home! Blessings.
So grateful for this!
I get overwhelmed and paralyzed very easily, so when I checked the website I was like “woah! Too much to process”.
When that happens, either my perfectionism kicks in and I start wanting to get it ALL done or I just get lost in my phone.
The system really works but I love how you broke it down so neatly.
The fly lady's emails overwhelmeds me. Like 4 emails a day! Drives me insane.
Melody Conroy me too...i had to unsubscribe . 😬
I only got all the emails in one email. That was quite awhile ago, so maybe that has changed. After 10 years, I had memorized the ones I used all the time and unsubscribed...but continued to do the program. I have a Control Journal that I use faithfully. Love the Morning and Evening Routines and everyone notices if I miss ONE day!! That's really saying something!! I am now in my 17th year of doing this beautiful, wonderful Flylady program and I'm so grateful...Kay
Yes, I had to unsubscribe when it changed from a daily digest to posts as they happened. Such a shame.
I set up filters in my email so I only see the daily flight plans
Shout out from the comment section. Socioeconomic Empowerment to the People. Me too, former not so secret slob. My cousin helped me out with a similar system many years ago. She told me and showed me what 15 minutes could do and told me no matter how tired I may be, I can always give 15 minutes per day to my house. Now that I'm a down the street granma (luckily working from home), I'm back at it. I love your videos. stay blessed
Wow, can’t believe you explained the whole fly lady plan in 8 minutes! Very efficient.
YESSS! Finally!
This is what I've been looking for for so long!
At the moment I'm redoing the babysteps for the second time, after I fell off last year, and greatly enjoy your condensed version! I'm also halfway through reading Sink Reflections, but she, and Diane, both are very mysterious on what to do after the baby steps precisely...
Thanks loads!
Thank you so much for helping me, I really enjoy your explanations, God bless the flylady, but I don't have patience to watch her. I appreciate your honesty and energy. You get me motivated and I believe that I can accomplish things.
This is seriously so life-changing for me! Thank you, Steph!
I found your channel a couple weeks ago and started implementing things slowly as I get into the rhythm of cleaning. I'm finding so much of my sanity is recovering as I create each of these to work best for our family. THANK YOU so very much!!! I appreciate how you have explained things! Blessings!
This is really helpful! I used to do Flylady years ago, but have totally fallen out of practice. Thank you for the refresher! Also? OMG, I love your kitchen so much!
Thank you!!
Whoosh...thank u so much for clearing this up. I plan to incorporate flylady, but I didn't know where to start. love your videos!!
This was a wonderful summation! Thanks! I've been trying to do Flylady for years. I think I can now.
You've done such a great job of implementing the system into your home. I recently binge watched all of your videos and I can really see the amazing progress you have made. You are an inspiration!
Wow, Steph! What a great job explaining the flylady system, condensed! Best I've heard so far. I look forward everyday for your videos! Best ever!
The morning routine and the decluttering have helped me a lot also the zone cleaning and weekly bless is great, I adjust all that for my situation but especially the decluttering results in weeks of getting ride of bags and bags of clutter and stuff we don't use any more,
EXCELLENT SYNOPSIS !
Keeping it simple is an ART.
I needed this.
God bless you !
Hi I have just spent the last six years dealing with elderly parents with dementia. Having lost both of them to this disease recently I have finally found time to do a massive declutter. Huge !! I literally can breathe now and having watched your video, I can now start implementing the Fly Lady system. Thanks for breaking it down for me. Cheers 🇨🇦👍😎❤️
I just happened on this fly lady stuff last night and watching about 100 videos from you and Diane in Denmark. I was so inspired that this morning I made my first control journal and started following it. 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.
Thank you... for being encouraging, for being real, for being logical. Have a blessed week!
Wonderful explanation of Flylady system. Thank you!
Thank you :) I have found that setting a timer has been soooooo helpful! It's really amazing. Something so simple is soooooo eyeopening and a tool that let me take a breath....and breathe. I didn't become overwhelmed. It's all a journey and this one little (huge) thing is the most amazing and liberating "tool" I have ever used.
Thank you so much for this explanation. You have removed my feelings of being overwhelmed by this system. I have fallen off it twice before and now I am doing it with you! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this. I was REALLY confused before. All I really understood was that the baby steps ought to come first! Now I get it. Working on my routines. Thanks again.
I've been looking for something like this... aka flylady cliff notes. Thanks!
I just started back working part-time, and it's been pretty overwhelming trying to stay on top of my house with a 1.5 yr old. Thanks for laying it out so simply. I've been wanting to try this system for awhile!
GREAT overview of the Fly Lady system!
I just wanted to tell you that this is the absolute best explanation of the Flylady system that I have ever heard. I have resisted doing Flylady because it seemed so complicated, and I really thought I had to do everything. You make it so easy to understand. I absolutely love your encouragement, and your bubbly personality.😊
Wow! Wow! Wow! After purchasing the Fly ladys books and other merchandise I have FINALLY found a clear explanation of the fly lady system I was so frustratingly confused. Thank you so much.
I wish I could LOVE this video! It helped a lot, I'm struggling to get on top of our mess, so your videos are helping me so much, especially seeing your before and after videos, they give me hope 😊
That was a great summary! Now I have a place to send people to understand clearly what I am doing. Great job!
This was a GREAT video! I’m going to watch it again with a pen and notebook. I found it to be so much more easy to understand and clear than the FlyLady emails. I’ll be honest, I find her emails to be overwhelming and a little busy 😐
I haven’t read the book though so maybe the emails would make more sense when I do. But this was great! Thanks! 😊
Thank you Steph, for breaking down the Flylady system. I have the morning and evening routine down but struggled fitting in the rest. Now will add afternoon routine. So clear & concise now.
This is so helpful! I read her book a while back but having never heard of her before that everything was a bit overwhelming. Thanks for making it so simple to understand!
Thanks for this crash explanation of the fly lady system. It is helping me to focus on where I should start which I have determined should be massive decluttering. I discovered your channel last weekend and it has been extremely helpful.
This video is sooooo helpful!!! I feel overwhelmed when I go to the Flylady site. I like that you suggest only doing the things YOU need to do. I’ve decided not to worry about the missions at all because they distract me from what is necessary for my home. This video clarified a lot for me and this is the 2nd time I’ve watched it lol and I have saved it in my Secret Slob file :) thanks so much!!!!! 😁
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 😁
It's "definitely"
Best ever explanation of fly lady!! I've been trying to find my way through fly lady for like 3 years and still haven't found my grove! But after watching your videos I think I can tweak it to fit my life thanks so much!
THANK YOU FOR THIS! Oh my goodness I’ve been a fly baby for about a year now and I’ve been struggling so much to get it figured out beyond the swish and swipe and the shiny sink. I get it now! I’m so glad to have watched your video!
Such a helpful video for someone that’s new to the system! I’ve been at it for one month and this video helped simplify things! Thank you!
Steph! I can’t believe how much your channel has grown in recent weeks! 👏🏻. Well, actually I can believe it because you are so inspirational!! Just love your sweet personality. You put a smile on my face every time! Love from Texas! 👍🏻👏🏻🙌🏻❤️😘
Thank you! I am really shocked and humbled by the response, but mostly I finally feel like I am not the only one who struggles with all of this! Thank you for your support :)
Very helpful overview! I have been following FlyLady since 2001. I'm doing a 2021 FlyLady Challenge to get my home and my life in order! This was a great refresher!!
THANK U! I literally just started a couple days ago ( thanks to u 💛) and I was OVERWHELMED. This video helped TREMENDOUSLY! Thanks again girly!
Fly lady is a great system, and you've given it a great overview! Thank you!
Thank you to the wonderful network of UA-camrs, including yourself Steph, plus Diane in Denmark, A Better Life with Kat and The FlyLady herself, for the ongoing videos that provide motivation and support to all of us newbies! 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.
Steph great summary I've changed it a little bit but you've helped me in huge ways thanks for all videos and explanations 😇God bless🙏 your home.
Thanks for breaking it down. Makes so much more sense!
So good to hear you break this down! Thank you!
I discovered flylady yeeears ago... like original pink book 17ish years ago. It can be overwhelming and I sure wish you’d have been around back in the day! I love the way you explained it! New subscriber 💙
Awesome video, condensed and to the point! Thank you!
Great examples and explanation of this system! So happy for you and your success using this! 💕🐱🌷
Enjoyed your video. Loved the quick reference of things to do...it was a nice and easy reminder for how long i myself have come..as well as a few things I'd stopped doing or had forgotten about it.
And totally LOVE the phrase about celebrating small successing!!
this is my 2nd time listening to this video. sooo helpful. polishing my wooden countertop. feels so nice thanx
Aww! Reading the comments and seeing how you are inspiring and motivating people is so sweet Steph! Thanks for sharing 🌸
Thank you so much Shona :) I had no idea there were so many people like me out there! Thanks for your continued support
@@TheSecretSlob Absolutely! I was here from the beginning and I will be here to support you for the duration! I'm being blessed by seeing you grow and inspire many! Peace and Blessings!
Great video. Very good explanation. When I first started looking at fly lady, it really was sooo much to take in. But this is great! Thanks. 🙂
Great explanation of the Flylady system. Good job.
You are veey motivating especially when you feel overwhelmed by all the clutter and feel.fatigued. I like what you said about celebrating small.successes instead of focusing on failure! You are so right. Thank you😊
Brilliant video I'm so excited to watch the rest of your videos. I think this is my new favourite channel!!!!
Thanks for simplifying it. Will read her book again.❤️
Thank you! I really appreciate the visual lists, too.
Great!! Missing your videos through the week!
Happy I can follow along and this simplifies it nicely:)
I would love to have these checklist printed or a written out version of the system.
Thank you for pointing out its not an all or nothing plan! I was happy you had another video. Hope you keep doing videos.
Thank you sooo much for explaining it in such an easy way!!
Love you. Thanks for helping me find the FlyLady. I just love her.
This was such a simple and enlightening explanation. I can finally make sense of the system. 1.Routines, 2. Decluttering, 3. Zone Cleaning
Many thanks!!!
Thank you for breaking it down! BTW I LOVE your kitchen!
Me too. Her kitchen is gorgeous,
That was a wonderful summary. Thank you!
Best expanation of the system! Thank you for giving us visual tools as well!😊
Thank you!!!! This was very helpful!!! ❤️
Thank you for this video. I know I want it ALL done now so instead of doing baby steps and doing each step until I get it down I try to incorporate all of the system & then become overwhelmed & burn out and discouraged the system does not work - it does work I just am not working it right. 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!
Love your condensed version of flylady. So commonsense.
Great summary, Steph.
Progress not Perfection.
This made so much sense. I downloaded/paid for the app. It's helping, but this video made it click for me so much!
Thanks so much! That is very helpful!!
Very well done! Thank you for motivating me to read Sink Reflections - I picked it up years ago but never read it, so (lol) I decluttered it!
It really is worth a peek, not so much for the cleaning, as the mentality shift she talks about. I found that was the game changer for me (being kind to myself first). :) Happy reading!
I LOVE your kitchen! Love that color scheme!!!
Thank you! I was inspired by a friends photos from her trip to Columbia!
....was looking forward to hearing what your new zone names were 😃
FlyLady was such a game changer for me.. as much as I was clean and tidy, it polished my routines and made it fun ..took away the Dread/burden
Became more of a morning/ afternoon/ evening/ etc quick challenge “how much can it do before the timer goes off” 👌
So fulfilling/accomplished
Oh my gosh, I love your kitchen! All that storage and deep drawers too! Your island is to die for as well.
Thank you for spelling this out for us. It really can get confusing, especially at first. (I’m still in the first category 😊)
Thank you so much!!!!! It was VERY helpful!
Nice summary!
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.
This is so wonderful to hear Mary Anne
