  • Looking for Minimalist Home Organization? Use my simple weekly plan: housekeeping, decluttering, cleaning, Flylady routines and self-care. I'm helping you simplify and thrive in 2024!

If you're seeking a healthier and more intentional lifestyle for 2024, you've come to the right place! Each Friday I answer your questions and give you reminders and pointers for Flylady housekeeping and homemaking. There’s also some book talk, plus four easy self-care ideas to choose from. And some random snippets from my hygge life here in Copenhagen, Denmark - let’s chat! Don’t forget our pact… I am here for you three times each week and you comment on every video.

    I won't be here next week...can you guess where I'm going?! Wish us luck! 👋🏼😃💗And - sorry - I got brain fog talking about the Rev Richard Coles, was obviously the Communards (not Bronski Beat), ha ha! === Don’t forget our pact… I am here for you three times each week and you comment on every video. Which self-care missions will you choose for this week - 1, 2, 3 or 4? I'm choosing number 1 and number 3!

    Dear Diane, this week I had to write a condolence card. It was very difficult for me. I did not found the right words. I procrastinated…..
    Then I heard your voice inside me.
    „It doesn‘t have to be perfect, it just has to be done“ and „Keep it simple, sweety“.
    I did it and I felt so relieved.
    Thank you vor beeing here and helping us in every life situation.

    Please don't stop making your videos! Our adopted daughter's birthmother has been battling cancer and your videos and encouragement have helped me keep my sanity (we are extremely close with them). She passed away on Monday and I was able to use the fly lady techniques to help clean her home with her parents. Today was her funeral and I came home and crashed on the couch and went straight to your self-care video from today. I know you don't know me (nor I you), but you mean so much to me and the structure you provide me in the midst of deep personal chaos is a huge blessing. I'm quite certain others feel the same, dear lady!

Please please don’t ever think you are wasting your time. Your three videos are such an inspiration to me. I apologise for the few occasions I haven’t commented, but will make sure I do in future. You are very loved and extremely valued and I send this with love. Rachel

    Never forget, even if views and comments and likes go down: you are so precious for everyone, who is landing on your channel!😊
    I've been following for years now. Yesterday a good friend came to my house after some years again. In the living room she said: "wow, you are really doing this flylady Thing! I can see the calm that comes with less stuff and more routines🧚‍♂️!" Iwas so proud of me and so thankful to you and your constant guidance. THANK YOU and go on, you do great to the world🌟.

    Diane, I needed to write again after watching this. I can't thank you enough for being my cleaning mum from afar! Not having ads is so kind of you. Your 3 selfcare tasks are always fantastic and such a great reminder to look after ourselves. I have 5 children under 10 and a baby. I often forget this point! You taking care of us, means we take care of ourselves which means the children are happier because of you.
    If you need to take a break and miss the odd video, as much as we appreciate them, that's ok too. We're happy to go with whatever you can manage!
    Thank you for helping us all xx

    Hi Diane,
    I just want you to know that I’ve watched your videos for years. It means so much that you take time to encourage us and help keep us going. My kids have all become adults in the last four years and the ups and downs and struggles of that process have been and are still knocking me off balance. Sometimes it’s so hard to want to do anything. Just knowing that someone like you has bad days/weeks too encourages me to keep trying. Thank you for being there for us.❤️

    I want to apologize for not replying to your videos. I often watch them on my TV where I cannot reply. On my phone I keep restricted mode on which prohibits reading or making comments. I do want to tell you how valuable your videos have been to me recently. I may not always be able to reply but I always give a thumbs up. I do so much appreciate your content. Your declutter and clean with me videos are my favorite. I like seeing your thought process for decluttering and your cleaning videos have helped me jump a huge hurdle of cleaning my bathroom. I usually pay someone to do the bathrooms but doing just 10 minutes at a time has helped me to see how doable it is and how much I can get done in such a little time. I don’t dread it as much and it is staying cleaner. I feel my bathrooms were the last place hanging me up. Again, thank you!

I really appreciate what you are doing and some weeks are difficult for me and I cannot find the right words to say, but I do appreciate your commitment to this process that you have set up, so don't give up. You've already succeeded just by doing what you do! You have made sense of Fly Lady for me and I now enjoy it even more. All the best for the swimming championships!!

A couple days ago I went to get my hair done, bought a few items to refresh my wardrobe, painted my nails and started feeling better. Thanks to you picking me up I started my weekly maintenance clean, I did a little yesterday, today and will finish tomorrow, got my laundry done, bills paid ordered my groceries. Cleaned my fancy rats cage all in one weekend. Thank you for lifting my spirits.

Honestly, if you didn't put out these videos 3 times a week, I would just pretend I don't have a messy, cluttered living space, and I would feel even more stressed and out of control. So, thank you. I appeciate every moment you share with us in your videos.

    🥰 I love that your videos are short and concise. So many influencers drone on for 30 to 50 minutes, and while they can be interesting, sometimes they just drone on with long introductions or personal stories and I just do not have that amount of time to dedicate to watching them. I always have 10 minutes for your videos and come away feeling motivated and more importantly up built emotionally. Please keep it up.

    I have been working on my report cards (Kindergarten teacher here!) and after spending a few hours on them, discovered my comments did not save. One of every teacher's worst nightmares. So, I got off my bahookie, grabbed the vacuum and some bins and attacked the front hall closet. Now I"m listening to your video, and feeling calmer after cleaning up a space by the front entry, and hearing your voice, I'm regaining motivation to attack the reports, round 2. Thank you so much, Diane, for always being here to cheer us on and remind us that we can accomplish a lot more than we often give ourselves credit for. Rah rah rah! From Laura, in BC Canada.

    So looking forward to having you back soon. I don't know how you've continued on all these years making videos, but please know, it is so appreciated, you are a huge encouragement and we love you!
    I'm really struggling at the moment, injured back from mopping last Wednesday! Rescued cat had kittens 3 weeks ago today...emergency dash to the vet at 3am as last one got stuck! Other cat diagnised with untreatable cancer, sons cat dropped dead and my neighbours cat suddenly had to be put down, so supporting her...plus the usual hosting church meetings in our home, volunteering at our village pop up cafe and having neighbours who need chats and support....for an introvert, its all a bit 'noisy' for my brain! Routines and zones are shot to pieces but I'm eating a good breakfast, getting dressed each morning and airing/making my bed each day and keeping on top of the laundry. I feel a fraud as there is so much to do, but today I'm ignoring all but the basics and having had a good chat with the Lord this morning, I'm treating myself to some sewing time.
    Thank you once again sweet friend xxx

    Dear Diane, this is the first time I have commented on a UA-cam Video. I created an account because I love your Videos so much and wanted to stick to the promise.

Working through that as well as cleaning through my mom’s stuff after she passed in November of 2022. So overwhelmed with boxes and emotions ❤️. Your positive spirit and videos help me focus. You are such a blessing to so many🥰❤️❣️Sending much gratitude, Janice from Missouri., USA.

    I’ve been away from home so, unplugged. Don’t be discouraged, you help so many! Think of it like the stock market….you can’t just look at one day/week. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Your impact overall, over time, all over the world - it’s strong. You can’t let a down week get you down!
    I also like cozier mysteries, reading the Murder She Wrote books now.

    Hi Diane, what does UA-cam know! It might see a few numbers up and down, but it will never know how deeply we appreciate and love you, how many people have the biggest respect for all your hard work and how many people's lives you've touched. I haven't been able to watch for the past two weeks because I've been down with pneumonia (and everyone in the family got sick). I wasn't able to watch or think about anything. Its been a challenge I won't lie, but now I am on the mend and am ready for new videos. Frankly, with everything coming to a halt and recovery taking a super long time I am going to be exlvery grateful for your sensible, practical and simple approach and all your wonderful encouragement. Looking forward to seeing you again! 🖖🏼💕

    Hi Diane, I’m so sorry to hear that you have had a tough week! I have been a subscriber for some time but haven’t commented but felt that I needed to today. I was diagnosed with cancer 2/12 years ago and I am on long term chemotherapy. I often feel unwell and the chemo makes me feel exhausted most of the time. So, I often have to do my cleaning/ organising/ decluttering in short segments early in the mornings as my health allows. I have found your videos so helpful to have playing while I clean and declutter because it encourages me to get up and get things done even if it’s just 10 minutes at a time. Thank you for the encouragement that you give us to keep our homes under control and for the ray of sunshine that you are to so many of us. I hope your swimming events go well. Sending you love and thanks from Australia ❤

    Hi Diane, watching your Friday plan and play video while washing up and shining my sink on a rainy Sat afternoon in Manchester. I have been decorating my daughters bedroom this week, feeling overwhelmed by the mess of things being in the rest of the house. Watching your videos always helps me to take a breath and do one thing towards resetting. Funny note: walked past a lady in my local Aldi supermarket who was wearing a lovely pink sweatshirt with “hygge” written on the front. After walking past her twice and smiling, I said to her “I love your top!” She said thanks and told me how her son is living and working in Copenhagen and it’s the most amazing place! I said “I would love to go, I know about Hygge from watching Diane in Denmark - she’s fabulous and it looks like a gorgeous place.” Just thought I’d share this and hope it makes you smile. Thanks for all you do, whenever I am feeling overwhelmed or unsure about where to start on the house, I watch your video for inspiration! Xx

    I’m really grateful for you, your videos, and all you do. I’ve been watching/listening since before I was married and now we own our own home and have two small children. You taught me all about the flylady system, about hygge, and just bring positivity to my life. My mom wasn’t able to teach me how to do these things. So thank you for being here and for making these videos.

Besides that I love your positive attitude, even though you may not feel like doing another video. I want you to know your efforts and inspiration and selflessness are very much appreciated. I also very much enjoy seeing life in Denmark. Thank you for everything Diane

I spoke your words to her that it’s in those difficult times that we rely on our routines to keep us grounded. I’m sorry that my taking an extra few days to watch your video made you think you aren’t appreciated. You are loved and appreciated. You are making a difference in our lives.

    I am dealing with a very sad and stressful family crisis. You are the bright spot in my day, and I am always uplifted by your videos, they help give me perspective and they motivate me to put one foot in front of the other. Routines can be comforting when everything else is out of your control. So thank you, Diane for helping me with your rah rah rahs and smiles. My home is comfortable and clean, not perfect, but always improved because of you! Have a wonderful vacation, and competition. I'm doing #1 for self care, getting out some spring decor.

    I greatly appreciate you Diane. I am very grateful that you are here for me-for us-week after week, month after month and year after year (I have been a regular viewer of yours since 2017). I am 55 and although I have always preferred a tidy home because it feels good, thanks to your teaching/coaching it has become
    much easier for me. I have learned to do some things more often and some things less often. I have learned that I can accomplish more than I realized in just 10-15 minutes and also that some tasks don’t take nearly as long as I thought they did. And somehow I am finding my daily routines more joyful overall. Not only has my home become more tidy, cozy and minimal, but my entire life has thanks to you. Much love & thanks!
    ❤️🙏🏼✨
    PS: I am choosing mission #4. I have a gel nail polish kit that I was gifted a year ago and never used.

    My house has never been more organised and tidy since watching your channel. You keep it so real! So please keep making your videos on your channel, they keep me going especially through the darker days. Congratulations on going to the winter swimming championships, hope you had a wonderful time. This week I chose self-care mission two and three. I have started number two by not looking at my phone first thing in the morning otherwise I get sucked in and waste time first thing in the morning. And this has definitely been working as I seem to achieve more in the morning. I have been writing out all the missions each week, and have been looking at these over the past few weeks, and have been doing a previous one every now and then which brings me joy. So thanks Diane, this year is really working for me.❤
