Face it.  It doesn’t matter what Declutter Program it is, by the time you read through any of them it can be overwhelming.  When you go to Flylady web site it is LOADED with information.  I know when I first found Flylady website, I thought wow!  This is a lot of information!  I also researched other programs too.  They had just as much information.  So why did I decide to follow Flylady?  What makes her different from the rest?

In my opinion, Flylady has HEART!  PERFECTIONISM is looked down upon.  Why?  Because it is the perfect platform to its all too familiar co-conspirator PROCRASTINATION.

Recently in the threads, many flybabies are stuggling with keeping up their routines.  They are frustrated and know they can fly but somehow they are not at the moment.  This is when they need it the most.  Many will then start looking at other declutter programs to see if there is a better way than Flylady.  All this does is get one into more confusion and stuck.  Then nothing happens.

A very close friend and mentor knows me so well.  This is what I used to do.  I used to look at several different angles with whatever subject I was interested in.  I would have probably five different perspectives taking into consideration at once.  The problem was, I never finished the final step.  I did not make a decision which direction I wanted to go for FEAR of not choosing the PERFECT one!!  There is NO PERFECT PROGRAM! It is as simple as that.  She told me I have to make a DECISION to what I want and then JUMP in!  Otherwise, all one will feel is being pulled in every direction there is.

Correct me if I am wrong.  It seems like the underlying turmoil going on with flybabies that are struggling may be experiencing what I just explained above.  So how can we all overcome this?  I have a few ideas and the approach that I am going to take because it will help me too is break down Flylady into manageable way for whatever situation that you are in so you can always feel like you are flying.  I don’t really have a name for this but it is going to be a series of blogs that can be referred back to as cheering session.  I am a lot like Marla Watson Cilley in regards to writing with my heart and to write in such a way that it is honest and straight forward.

I don’t, be any means want to replace or water anything down about Flylady.  We are all individuals and we each look at things in our own way.  We live in a country that allows it.  What I want to do is begin a series called The Flylady Way‘s “Babystepping It Simplified” Series.

This blog is the Introduction to  The Flylady Way’s “Babystepping It Simplified” Series.  The next one we will jump in!
Keep Flying!

 I am still in search for a Logo that says me.  I have some temporary ones.  I feel I need to use my own picture because of copyright laws.  I have some others too.  Will show next time.
