Some people who have disabilities which affect their hands can't wear lace up shoes due to not being able to tie the laces and need to wear velcro shoes or slip ons. "Getting dressed to shoes" motivates me so even when i wear shoes without laces I call them my "Motivational shoes".
We are so happy that you realized that making the routines work for you is what we hope everyone will do. "Motivational shoes"... love it! (FlyCrew member)
I’m not religious or a mother but I really like this good habits you teach because having a clean and organized house is really good for my mental, physical and financial health. I notice I spend more money when I’m messy too because I end up buying things I already have or thing don’t last as long as they could. Thank you, I’m learning a lot.
Shining my sink helps me so much as a teacher for many years there is a childrens book "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie 🍪"....then he will want a glass of milk.... Wonderful because it is all connected and built step by step like for my brain I look over instead of looking over or away a blessing❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When I got my first computer in 2000, yours was the first website I visited. You have been in my head ever since. I actually started with Pam and Peggy.
I modified your 'Getting Dressed to Lace Up Shoes' to suit my specific needs. I don't feel like wearing clean fresh clothes unless I've had my morning shower. And I would only have my morning shower after my morning poop. And I have tea for the poop to happen. So since Monday I've been doing the Tea-Poop-Shower and THEN Getting Dressed to Lace Up Shoes very successfully. Earlier I felt that I had to get all the cleaning out of the way before I could take my shower and dress up. But now I take a shower early in the morning and am ready to face the day feeling fresh and energized by the shower. Thank you, FlyLady. (Though I do have a long way to go, but this is a good start)
Thank you for saving us! This is the best cleaning routine. I have ADHD and am a parent and realtor. My time to clean is limited. Now our house is getting to the point where cleaning in sooooo easy!
Fly Lady you are a miracle worker, I found your system on another UA-cam channel and you have somehow made me excited to get started and clean. My perfectionism stops me from cleaning and now is impacted my cooking, ready to take control back and bless my home and family. ❤
I started watching you years ago. I need to come back and learn things that I've forgotten. I'm making progress but I'm in deep again. I still have a lot of my tools!! Thanks for being there for me again.
Marla, I started a control journal yesterday! I'm using an old binder, and I already have plastic sleeves and picture album pages with plastic acid protector sheets. I wrote down a recipe I used for last night's dinner and put it in there. Today and/or tomorrow. I will make my routine lists and start my zone cleaning lists. I'll use my Fly Lady Plus app to draw my lists from. I like the digital, but I need a hybrid system of both digital and written. I'm keeping my control journal in the kitchen, and I have my calendar, a notebook. And my brain dump journal stored in my handbag, which had just replaced my purse. I can technicall fit my control journal in yhere but I'm afraid it adds to much weight on my bag to hold for tok long. So, I'll use my notebook when I'm not at home...or just put it at my launch pad and take it with me. My habd bag comes into the bedroom with me at night, and ge6s put 9n tge kaunch pad as soon as I come out of my bedroom in the morning. I designsted that as its home for 2 reasons. For one. It means it's akeady there and ready to ho incase I need to ho anywhere, even at the lady minute. And 2. My launch pad is by yhe back door, in a centrao area of my home, so it's easy to grab it whenever I nerd domething out of it, without having to carry it with me all over the house. I've bern putting off creating a control journal for so long, because I kept over-thinking the whole process. I felt like zi needed to know exactly how I wanted in it, and exactly jow I wanted it irganised. I was afraid to mess up. I was cheating myself out of such a valuable topl that my ADHD brain desperately needs. I mean, if I can get my house looking better. And create better habits and routines. By focusing on a littlecat actime: if I can do that, not lnow the gull nig picture yet of jow I want my home and routines to look yet. Then I can do that with my controlol journal. My vision of how I want my jome. Is devoliping as I'm working on it. And it will grow and change ad my nerds and progress changes. I need to have thst same approach with my control journal. Thank you so much for always reminding us, adding a lityle at a time. And considtancy are way more important than diving all in and trying to fo it all perfectly ❤
LOL. The FLYLADY SONG IS SO ENCOURAGING AND UPBEAT AND ADORABLE. THANK YOU FOR TEACHING US HOW TO HAVE AN ORGANIZED ,STRESS FREE , HAPPY LIVES. ( NOW WHERE DID I PUT MY HEAD?) I HOPE MEN ARE ALSO TAKING NOTES AND APPLYING .
What time do you fit in your zone cleaning ??? And your decluttering ??? If you do morning routine work school pick ups take care if children with morning play parks lunches What’s for dinner cooking after dinner routine before bedtime routine you need to describe zone cleaning more because I can’t figure out how to fit in the zone cleaning ???
I’m ready to get started! Just subbed. And downloaded your app! Thank you for the guidance. I enjoyed this replay and hope to start catching your lives. Peace and Blessings to you. ❤️
Great song!! Glad I finally found you on UA-cam, been fluttering since 2003!! (making my bed every morning, swish my bathroom, and never go to bed with a dirty sink, rest... still fluttering!)
I retired 8 months ago and decided I needed a cleaning routine. I came across your channel and feel so blessed. I have been jumping forward to try to clean everything so I can just follow the schedule. I'm decluttering as I go which works for me. I have to work on making meal plans it's new to me. I dont really like cooking but we need to eat! Thank you Flylady love you so much! one of your new flybabies❤
my little one is 22m old and i already have collected over 30 Dr Suess books...only to put off reading to him because of lack of time... that anti procrastinate Wednesday was a personal message to me :) :D ... Thank you :D
22:00 Our family keeps the food waste you refer to as “wet trash” in a plastic bag in the freezer until trash collection day. That way none of our trash has bad odor, we don’t attract vermin, and dogs don’t knock the trash cans over when they’re in the street. Family tradition. 💕
I am new here and loving it so far. I am an avid barefooter. I believe shoes disfigure our feet and keep us from experiencing the electromagnetic force from the Earth. I get dressed, do my face and hair, and remain barefoot (or in socks this winter). I find that I am very motivated. I also do not like wearing shoes inside as it keeps the floors cleaner. Any other barefoot Flybabys out there??
@@TheFLYLADY As I mentioned, shoes distort the shape of feet. It's why so many people have feet and back issues. We are not meant to wear shoes all the time. The shoes do not make or break this system for me.
I know this comment is a few months ild, but I agree 100%. I will never wear shoes in my home, and I mostly wear flipflops outside unless it is snowy. I will never crush my poor toes or wear "supportive" shoes again. Going barefoot saved my husband's spine.
Good Morning Fly Lady My twin sister has talked about you for years. I finally heard her. 😀 This is my first of your videos. Love the song. Fly Baby fr 🇨🇦
We love you Flylady!!! I love your message!!! I am coming out of Mt post-partum time and ready to start getting my home in better shape for my sanity. Haha! May the Lord bless you!!
What do you do when you clean shine sink - get up the next morning and the family teens and husband left everything out and dirty dishes- pleaded with then to not do this but they will not - I get where I just don’t want to even try
Annie fly lady will say to not complain and just get it done. You can ask them to help but you can’t make them. I’m just happy my kids put their dirty dishes in the sink and not leave them in the bedroom. Don’t give up.
Don’t give up, do it for you. Maybe some day they will catch on. My husband eats at night and leaves a mess, I try not to complain and just keep going.
Have a diff perspective on it and be grateful you have a sink, hubby, and kids! I am homeless single and all my kids are adults and I can't even help them. I'd give anything to go back to having a sink full if dishes from my family anyday!!!😊😭
These are wise women who have given you advice. It is discouraging and frustrating when other people make the mess that you continually clean up. Keep a positive conversation about the problem going (use assertive communication) - don’t do this when you are frustrated. Clean for you; you would have to clean if you were alone. I wish you well. ❤
Learning lots of things here. But, one thing I always DON'T do 😅 is put on lace shoes in the morning. I live in Germany and we wear house shoes here (usually a type of slip on shoe/sandal). Helps our floors stay a lot cleaner 🤩🤩
We have entire countries that feel like you do but to make the work go so much faster they buy good work shoes that support their legs and back that they wear ONLY in the house. Try it and see what you think. You're going to be so glad you did.
@@drpaddi that may be. I think my Birkenstocks do just fine. And knowing my personality, I don't like to waste time on lacing up shoes several times a day 😅😅 besides, I go barefoot a lot in the summer anyway. It's what works for me.
Shoes are bad for you! I will never give in lol. My barefoot shoes that I like are like $100 so there’s no way I can just buy a pair to wear in the house lol
Mildred, there is an entire continent that believes as you do. The solution they came up with was to have "inside-only" shoes. Buy a pair of great sneakers that you only wear inside. You deserve to have your feet and legs supported especially while you're working. (FlyCrew member)
@@drpaddi Thank you. I will look for a man's sports shoe that is a 4ww for the house. It will be strange. I have not worn shoes in the house over 33 years.
I am going to give this another chance. I tried years ago when I was younger and convinced myself it wasnt working. I was working too much then. But, we don’t wear shoes in the house. I have slippers for inside. This wont change.
These are great habits and I love a good routine, but I wish you spoke to young mom’s a bit more. I have 3 under 4 and while I try to stay on a routine, things come up or pull me away and I’m just not able to stay consistent. If I’m needed, I’m putting my kids before cleaning. Anyone can stay on track without kids in the home.
You can always go back to the routine because they are fast and easy to do. We have all had kids and most of our members have children now. Write your routines down and check them off during the day. When. you are able to get back to them you will see where you were and what still needs to be done. Doing daily routines gives you more time to play and have fun with your children not to mention the all important free time for you to catch your breath.
I have your App and I made different daily Routines for myself. Sometimes I want to see it on paper and sometimes the App. Is it possible to print my own routine from the App?
Just start over, that's the beauty of the flylady system - every day is a new chance! Just jump in where you are and keep putting one for in front of the other! ❤️
Fun Flybaby song somehow I missed this song over the years❤
I feel like the secret, is understanding how lucky, and blessed we are, to HAVE a sink, a home, whatever comforts we are so privelidged to have...😊
Counting your blessings is so beautiful
Thank you Sister for keep going and encouraging us! May GOD continue to bless you Sister! Yes to the hot pink!!! I got the hot pink cover!
I really like the Chaos cure!!! I’m a millennial and Sister thank you so much!!!

I never knew in the 90’s when I followed you that you were a woman of faith! Me too!!
I’m not religious or a mother but I really like this good habits you teach because having a clean and organized house is really good for my mental, physical and financial health. I notice I spend more money when I’m messy too because I end up buying things I already have or thing don’t last as long as they could. Thank you, I’m learning a lot.
I believe the state of your environment affects the state of your mind. If you're not organized in the home, you're not organized in shopping.
Shining my sink helps me so much as a teacher for many years there is a childrens book "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie 🍪"....then he will want a glass of milk.... Wonderful because it is all connected and built step by step like for my brain I look over instead of looking over or away a blessing❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m going to go through all your past videos to get caught up!
@@tracirogers9719 please don’t that is your perfectionism

“What’s the one thing you procrastinate on? Cleaning out your refrigerator.”

Lol. Yeah…
Yes.... but it’s not out of not wanting to do it. It’s the fear of seeing what went bad 😟 at least for me!
Love your hair! You look very pretty!
I have the hot pink Sink Reflections book. 😊
Me too!

You have really helped me. I look forward to seeing you more!😀
Thanks for sharing this great video, to re-listen soon!💜🎄

What do you do when you clean shine sink - get up the next morning and the family teens and husband left everything out and dirty dishes- pleaded with then to not do this but they will not - I get where I just don’t want to even try

This is an older video
It does sound like one I heard before but Marla does repeat herself a lot.
It's a little hard to tell but I have to agree
It is
No!! Its not from12.10.2021 Friday, pm?
She repeats March in it and even pulls out a calendar with March pointed out. It's def an old video based on my research. 😊
I don’t like wearing shoes in the house
I am getting a little worried about Marla.
