When I uploaded my photo today, I saw a Flybaby making a comment as to why it doesn’t look like she is getting things done, but she is. It is the important things that don’t show that are part of the foundation of Flylady!
The important thing I am talking about is PLANNING! We have to have time to plan in order for the flylady way to work. That is why Flylady has Plan and Play Day, Partial Desk Day, and Paperwork Day.
Monthly Habits
That is also why it is so important to implement the monthly habits. First things First.
August – Laundry
September – Before Bedtime Routine
Focus on those 4 things first and then see how you feel. Some days I have to break my Decluttering into mini decluttering sessions but that’s also part of your hots spots to keep up with and the 5 minute Room Rescue, 2 minute drills, 7 for 7, Bingo. Get creative! For some reason, we have been brainwashed that the stuff that shows is the most important. Well, if we are going take on this way of thinking, we might as well go back to the “Stash and Dash” way. Flylady is about breaking things down into more manageable ways. There are many of us that have health problems, family problems and we have tools for them. Why not have tools for your home? Well, this is what Flylady is so “lovingly” telling you. Shine Your Sink, Declutter 15 minutes a day, Get Dressed To Shoes, and Make Your Bed. This is my 6th year of FLylady. I wasn’t getting all the habits accomplished because I couldn’t see why they were so important. On January 1st, one of my New Year Resolutions was to follow the Flylady way as close as I possibly could. I have got my biggest hurdle accomplished getting dressed to shoes. There are others but I will deal with them when the month arrives and it is the habit. The thing is that you won’t understand what it means personally to you until you do each for at least 21+ days. For now, I am concentrating on these four habits. If you want something you got done “seen”, Shine Your Sink, Declutter 15 minutes, Get Dressed To Shoes, Make Your Bed and focus on looking at those things that are “seen”. Then let go and get your paperwork and those details started because they are important too and is what will make tomorrow be seen. Have you done these four habits today? If not, do it now by jumping in where you are and then say “TADA”!! Keep FLying! Marilyn
