How have you adapted the Flylady routine and cleaning method to your home and your life? Today I'm sharing Melissa's story, more real-life case studies to follow! 🖐😃 Thank you for your continued support and for liking and subscribing to my channel!
😃🖐Thank you for all your tips and terrific advice. Rosie 🇨🇦
Thank you for your tips! I’ve adapted the Fly Lady System to my full-time job.
As someone who is a recently disabled woman in her mid thirties with special needs twins I’m really grateful for how inclusive you are in this video including people with health issues ❤️
My goodness you have a lot on your plate sweetie , I’m so glad that Diane has been able to help you in some way. I was born with disabilities and struggle a lot but Diane has helped me so much , especially with the guilt of not being able to do it all , hope your health improves . Sending a gentle hug xx
I was born disabled and spent my middle twenties nursing my mother through terminal cancer. I will never forget what my mother's hospice nurse told me when she saw how ragged and exhausted I was: "You won't help your mom by killing yourself." Remember that the best reason to keep your house tidy is to make a healthy, peaceful environment for yourself and your family. Guilt has no place in this process. As Fly Lady says: "Seek progress, not perfection." Remember to be as kind and gentle to yourself as you are to your children. May God bring you peace.
You are so very welcome, Katie!
Really liked this practical advice. I tend to do this in the afternoons, when I’m sewing. I set a timer for an hour and then get up and do a little task, laundry, meal prep etc and then feel refreshed going back to my sewing AND I’m fitting in my home tasks too. Love the way you simplify the thoughts and reasons behind it. Every little bit helps us maintain a cozy home
Brilliant, Den!
Love this idea of customized fly lady! Once someone becomes overwhelmed, it's nearly impossible to see the way through. Great tips for everyone having some struggles with fitting in routines.
I've tried what you've suggested to Melissa, but in my actual workplace, I cannot have "fix" breaks. So I am doing them just as often as I can, and try to never leave a room empty-handed- always bringing something to the place it belongs. If I wake up earlier, or end my shift on time, I jump up to do whatever is left. I'm struggling with hoarding tendencies and trying to pass thru depression, so it will take time. But biting the elephant once at a time helps tones! Thank you Diane, for all the inspiration you gave and the great cheering-it's really motivating!:)
This is a brilliant idea. You can actually get way more done in 5 minutes than you think. And a few of these a day would add up to a lot!! Thank you Diane!
Yes! Top of the hour is really helpful on those days when I am sick or lacking sleep or just down. At the end of the day I’ve done at least an hour of activity maintaining my house. Sometimes, just getting started gives me momentum and I’m able to do 15 or 20 minutes. Very valuable tip.
Yay!
When I'm sick I use "the worst is first." Start with something you didn't get to yesterday or the messiest room.
Brillian, Lora!
Hello my Friend!!! Excited to listen to this bc I struggle with the Flylady Method too! I need the Hoarder/ADHD version of it!!! Lol ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah I feel like it'll be a balance between decluttering and deep cleaning
😅 Hello, sweetie! Yes, the Routines need to be adapted but will definitely work whatever your situation...stay tuned for more client case studies! 💖
Hello! As a fellow ADHD here, I have trouble staying on task, so what I do is write down the things of the routine that I want to do and an estimated time how long each task is going to take, then I set my timer for ONE task and try to beat my estimated time, so even if I didn't stay on task the timer reminds me. 😀 but.... I have to remember to set the timer every time
I love you Ms Heart!! So happy to see you here. Best crossover this year.
@@rachaelerin1 awe!!! Love you too!! This is how we learn & grow, listening to others and adapting it to our own life ❤️❤️
Thank you! Recovering from covid and related heart issues. S-L-O-W-L-Y getting back into routines. Sometimes I just have to stop in the middle of what I am doing and lay down. It takes me the longest to load and unload the dishwasher because I get dizzy bending over to reach the bottom rack. I have to take 5 or six breaks to empty the bottom. I have been using the work only during commercials method and it works great. Sometimes I need to finish when I feel more rested in the morning. Very important to cut myself some slack during this recovery period. That is a very important part of self care. The self talk awareness is so necessary because I am necessarily outside my normal fly-routines and I can feel the pull of missing my routines. That's ok. But I have to consciously dwell on the realization that, of course, it's ok -even if I can't finish my dishes at night. So I have been doing a little at a time during Olympics commercials. And that has been fun.
SOOOO helpful!! Thank you! Also useful for people with ADHD who need to keep to a list/schedule, but find it a challenge - once we get stuck into a task, we get stuck in hyperfocus, and later on realise that nothing else got done. And short bites helps counteract boredom factor in doing chores!
This real-life example is so great to learn from.
Thank you so much for this advice! If I may, here’s something that has optimized my “top of the hour”: I take the first 30 seconds or so to gaze out of a window ( I’m fortunatae enough to have a lovely vista to enjoy), take a few deep breaths and just see how the sunshine and shadows are shifting through the day, how the seasons are changing…just whatever is there to be seen. What a difference it has made to me!
What I have understood from your videos over the last year is that its little steps that helps you reach the top of the mountain. I've been keeping up with my routines even though my workload is sometimes frenetic.
That's another thing I've tried to limit.
Anyway by doing a little bit everyday my house is transforming and I don't have to spend my precious weekend time cleaning (and being grumpy).
Thanks Diane 💕
So simple and effective Diane! You make everything seem possible, like Mary Poppins for the modern day!! Thanks for your rays of sunshine! Love Niamh in Dublin x
I'm very much looking forward to this series, Diane. I've been struggling with establishing routines over the last two years, because things kept changing every couple of months so it was never long enough to fully build habits (in and out of home office, moving to another apartment, living part time at my partner's apartment, moving offices, you name it 😅)
Wow, that is a super tip. I start right now! And because I have so many things which are not in the right place, I use the top and the bottom of the hour this evening. It's 16:23 and I think I will use this tip till 19
o' clock. So 5 times. And tomorrow I start fresh with one time in an hour. And I also will use this time to drink a glass of water. Thank you from Germany.
Yay! Cheering you on with my pom poms!
Your kitchen window frames a beautiful picture.
Thanks for this Diane this is a great hourly routine, and just five minutes is more motivational and less daunting and I’m always amazed what you can accomplish in five minutes and most of the dreaded chores can be done in five minutes if you’re focusing for that short time, have a great week 💕
An it is always surprising how work we can do in five en or ten minutes … for fun I put my watch on a 30 min timer whem i do cleaning to observe what il can do in That Time …a kind of game for myself ! It help to evaluate how Time it take for a job.
I did the top of the hour when I was recovering from surgery. It was supposed to be 3 weeks but took 2 years. Lol. It never thought to use it in other situations. I work from home with special needs. Struggled to fit in zone cleaning. Wanted to do it in the afternoon but we’re busy with client. If I squeeze 5 mins at top of hour 1-3 I could get it done. Great advice Diane. I am going to try it and I know I will feel better getting my zone cleaning done.
Yay, go you, Christine!
Top of the hour is great when you suffer from ill health or when you are not feeling motivated. Personally I think the flylady system of cleaning is terrific and thank you so much Diane for demonstrating that with your wonderful flylady videos.
You have helped me so much! Thank you for all of your encouragement!!
Aww, thanks, Charlotte!
You should do a video on cleaning with chronic pain. Things like vacuuming, moping. Scrubbing tubs and showers
Hi Diane. Great video! I have adapted the FlyLady system by bundling one routine with something I already do. When I naturally go to the kitchen to make my coffee, I unload the dishwasher which frees it up for the day. When I use the bathroom I do the swish and swipe and wipe down the sink. Linking what I am already going to do in a zone helps me feel more on top of things.
Brilliant idea. I live on my own 57 years old and have struggled with doing flylady I have also had a health issue for over a year and had surgery to fix it 4 weeks ago so strength is not what it was and will never be the same due to muscle being moved. I tried this a few days ago and it was great I even kept going doing more than planned
Wonderful to hear, Lenore!
Thank you Diane. I am one of the people with some physical challenges so I will definitely try the top of the hour method. Thank you as always for your smile and your smart tips. So nice that you are doing videos more often again.
This is such an awesome idea Diane!! I’ve wanted to do Flylady for years but have always struggled with it. You’ve put neat doable ideas into her system. Thank you so much!!! Val
You are so welcome, Val!
I am a retired lady/wife/mother/grandmother; visually impaired so therefore I have always had to maintain a routine and orderly home life. As a retired lady, I arise each day, do my self care routine before going downstairs to begin my day; after taking care of myself; filling my heart with worship music and Bible scriptures, making my bed, being dressed casually with comfortable shoes on my feet, I go to the kitchen to wipe down the counters (my evening routine in the kitchen is to run dishwasher, clean the sink and tidy up the kitchen area for another day); I prepare the coffee maker for our morning coffee, put on a load of laundry to wash, check my calendar; jotting down reminders for my daily life or the week; posting them on my bulletin board on my pantry door. Cleaning the bathrooms is the next task, turning on diffusers in the bathrooms; dusting/polishing furniture is the next task, decluttering areas that are needed putting away items in their correct place in the home. I check my house plants when I enter the room where they are placed, taking care of them if needed. I do not spend lot of time on each task (10-20 minutes) which is plenty of time to complete that task. Breakfast is prepared at the time I prepare the morning coffee. I clean up as I cook a meal or a snack; putting away dishes after each meal. I take breaks during the day to complete my vision therapy which is doodle art and faux calligraphy. Monday or Tuesday is the day I take care of my household budget, paying bills, making phone calls and other circumstances regarding our finances, appointments, etc. The laundry is folded at night while watching television, my husband folds his own laundry and I fold mine and he takes my laundry basket upstairs for me (due to my vision loss). I refresh our bedroom on Mondays, (linens are laundered, mattress is refreshed with baking soda and essential oils), my husband takes care of the carpet in the home, I use a swiffer to sweep the hardwood, ceramic floors and use an O'Cedar mop for mopping floors. This is a sort summary of my daily tasks within my home, but I have to be organized to manage my life (by no means is my home in perfect condition) but everything in my home has a "home" and we endeavor to keep those items in place in order to help me maintain our home and we do "live in our home"...it is not always tidy and clean but I do my best................I worked for over 31 years and there was times when I was unable to maintain my home in the manner I wanted to but self care was important and my husband being my helpmate gave me the encouragement and help I needed...Now being retired, I have established a system that suits my days and I am happy.
Such wonderful routines you have, Jodi!
Wow it is so simple and brilliant. 6x10 minutes and you've got a whole hour of cleaning at the end of the day. Thank you Diane.
Hope you'll give the Top of the Hour trick a try, Anna!
What a great tip, Dianne! To get to the end of your day and realize you accomplished things at work and in the home, and got up and had screen breaks AND got in some steps! A win-win! I think that’s the whole power of the Flylady system. She taught me how home management doesn’t have to take an hour a day. It’s really amazing how much I get done doing five minutes here and there all day long.
Yes! Thank you, my friend! Maybe we can meet up this year?!!!
I love these simple yet new ideas for me !
This was so helpful. I have been thinking I would love to ask Diane how to manage when one’s energy has been greatly affected by illness. This was really helpful. Thank you, Diane!
Love the top of the hour idea. I have a little business from home and I homeschool my teen. This is a great way to keep it all together ❤️
Thank you for being here
🙏😊
Love this! I love the idea of case studies💕
Thanks, Judy!
simple tip - but life-changing
Great tips, Diane! I was very sick for a few days and I was taking care of a sick child at the same time. I used FlyLady’s timer idea and really kept up our home. I would set the timer for 15 minutes and focus on the task to be done for 15 minutes. Then I’d set it for 15 minutes to rest. Then 15 minutes work. 15 minutes rest. I alternated working and resting 15 minutes at a time, and I think I actually was more productive than on a regular day! (Eventually I did take an hour long nap😉)
Brilliant, Jennifer!
I really liked this. I work at a screen almost the whole day as well and sometimes it's so exhausting! And you do feel the guilt of not getting everything done. Going to try this for sure.
Thank you Diane, for yet another informative video! I have a Vintage/DIY/Home Decor shop, so I am literally a professional Hoarder! I rarely get rid of anything because I know that I can upcycle something with it to sell in my shop. And to make things even more difficult, like others that have posted on here, I have ADHD. So the struggle with overwhelm is REAL! I’m so happy that you’re going to be doing these videos with real life examples! This video helped spark some ideas for me too! Lastly, thank you for being the Bright Spot of my day! ❤️
I truly believe that this is going to work for me. These are terrific ideas and you really spoke to me because I have chronic illnesses and not a lot of energy. I think this will help me pace myself as well versus just wearing myself out completing one task a day.
Great idea. I struggle to find larger chunks of time to get through tasks so will definitely give this a go 😊
I try to do this when I’m working from home. It is amazing how it all adds up throughout the day.
I love the Top Of The Hour method! It has helped me a lot over the years, during illnesses and mental health issues. It always amazes me how much can be achieved in 5, 10 or 15 minutes!
Thank you Diane 😊
Well done, Claire!
Brilliant- such a simple suggestion but that sounds fabulous!
🤯 WHAT A GREAT IDEA! I'm starting this today!
Love this! ❤️
I LOVE this idea! I have done it with my kids for homeschool but haven't applied it to myself! This is perfect for my schedule homeschooling with an 18 month old afoot! Thanks!!
This was great!
Great ideas!
Thanks for the tip!
Good ideas! Thanks
Diane this example is really helpful. Can you walk through a client who works away from home? Thanks for this great content!
Wonderful tips. I am in a walking cast right now with a broken foot; and this method should work for me. Will try it. Thanks!
This was great! Thank you!
You helped me fix flylady years ago! Thank you so much! Beautiful hydrangea!
Aww, fantastic, Mary Beth! 🙏😊
Great tip Diane. I've been using Flylady and have adjusted my Daily Focus days and Zones to fit my life. My goal is to spend 15 minutes on my Daily Focus and 15 minutes in my Zone each day. With my morning swish\swipe and my evening sink shine, it works pretty well. If I have a busy day and can't do my Zone cleaning, I catch up on anti- procrastination day.
Catching up on antiprocrastination day is a great idea, except for me. It is one of the days i work, and i don't have much energy to do all the things i procrastinated on earlier in the week. Hehe. But since since starting flylady there's not as much to do as there used to be, so i can catch up by the end of the week.
@@thatswhatisaid8908 I'm retired so most days the only thing getting in the way of completing tasks is me 😅
This is one of the best ideas I’ve heard. I was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and have been exhausted this sounds like something I could do.
This will certainly be a great method for you to try, Mary!
Thank you Diane! This is a great tip I will try. I am home all day and have health issues so I think this will help. Thank you!
Those are some great ideas. Thanks :)
thanks Diane for this practical tip!
Thanks so much for sharing this message!❣🇨🇦
Excellent! Thanks
That‘s a nice idea. I‘ll try!
Yay!!!!! Lovely to see you!!!! X
👋🤩
Sent this one on to the family. Great ideas!
That was excellent advice Diane, thankyou!! Love the new format
I tried this method when I was getting over a cold. I could only work for 7min at first, but quickly worked up to 15min.
Go you, Leah!
What an amazing and fun idea. Simple and yet, I imagine, totally effective. I'm going to start today! And... for anyone who might read this, I have done some coaching with Diane... she is intuitive, encouraging and has made a world of difference (thanks Diane). I recommend her highly.
So great to hear from you, Jane! Hope all is sunshine in your world!
You’re the best D ! Melissa xo
Excellent idea. I’m going to give this a go. 💕
This is such great, practical advice. Thank you! I’m really looking forward to more case studies. 😊
Amazing, I'm exactly like Malisa😄 but I never manage to accomplish enough in 10 minutes...
Thanks Diane! It works. I’d forgotten to “get up” and step away from the screen! 😂 😂
Love your tips, I tend to do things in the AM so rest of day is practically free( except for cooking) Fly lady has simplified my life so much and I thank you so much
Loved it. Thanks for the reminders. Moving faster is a good goal for me.
This was very helpful. Thank you.
This is great advice, Diane! Thank you!
I am going to begin incorporating this method right away. Thank you! :-)
I will pass this on to my daughter. :)
I work from home and will try this method. Love your suggestions!
I’m excited about this video , I struggle with leg issues and I think that this will work great for me. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you so much 😊
Great advise. I will try this! Thank you
Thanks for remind me of this excellent method 🙏. I will implement it this week. 👍👌😀
This is an idea, I really needed. Thanks for sharing! ♥️
I love this idea! With 3 little ones 5 and under, I think this will work great. Thank you🤗
That is a great idea Diane. Thank you for sharing. I am somebody with little energy which I am trying to fix. 🤞🙏
Thank you Diane this helped a lot because I have fatigue issues but I will def try this at the top of the hour. P.S you cheer me up xx
Love this. Thanks Diane!
Thanks, Jane!
An excellent idea, I have same problem. Thank you Diane
This is very helpful! Thank you!!
You're so welcome, Patricia!
Always great advice and you’re usual upbeat motivation. Just the best, Diane. ❤️😁
Aww, thank you, Beth!
I am always surprised at how much I can get done in just 5 minutes!
I used to do TOTH and BOTH back when I was on forums.... I don't do it these days, but I actually set my 5 minute reset alarms at TOTH a few times a day, and if I need a work day and don't have much energy I will set alarms for TOTH and BOTH.... I only last a couple hours those days those, so still don't get much done, but its better than nothing.
It definitely helps to do a little! And keeps us moving forward! 😃
Such a great video, thanks so much!
You are so welcome!
Always the best advice on the internet! Love Mary in Maine
Aww, you are so sweet, dear Mary!
Thanks for this video. I will definitely try this. Looking forward to seeing more case studies.💕
Thanks, Jeanne!
This is so encouraging! It can be more frustrating trying to work from home if you aren’t getting to things. I’m doing ok with routines. Struggling with remember to get kids to do theirs. :)
Your video was very helpful. Thank you Diane 😊
You are so welcome!
Brilliant! this is doable and inspiring for recovering perfectionists :)
So glad you found it helpful!
Diane, you are such a beauty! Thank you for all you do to help us other home makers.
Aww, thank you, Jenny!
