Off the wagon

Well...I have kinda flown off of the fly lady wagon. I am not proud of myslef, but I knew I would. After all, routines are hard to form and keep up on. My plan....Get right back on it. My plan for Monday...ATTACK!!! So, with that being said...weekend then back to FLYing! I'll keep ya posted.

Routine Routine Routine

It's all about routine. Today is day 4 of the FLYlady program and I am still at it. So far I am keeping it up. YAY for me!!!! 

NEW ZONE BEGINS TODAY!!!
Zone 2: Kitchen
Zone work today is scrub stove top for 15 minutes. Take of the knobs and soak them to remove grease.

DAY 3 was:
- Do what we have already done.

-Getting up and dressing to lace up shoes
-Keeping your sink shining


Today's mission is:
- Getting Dressed to lace up shoes

- Keep sink shining
-Next thing is to write these things down on a sticky note and post them on your bathroom mirror and above your kitchen sink. This is the beginning of your Control Journal. The little notes help us to remember the habits we are trying to establish.

 I have completed my task for today, and am going to work on my zone work.

Fly Baby!!!!!!!!!

A friend of mine just told me about the greatest website ever. It is www.flylady.net and if you've never heard of it you are missing out on an awesome thing. For those of us (myself incuded) that have a hard time prioritizing and de-cluttering this website is the best. Today is day 2 for me, and I am hooked. She has simple rules and suggestions to follow as far as organizing, de-cluttering, and just plain ol' routines. Day 1 her tip was "make your sink shine" the babystep of simply getting into the habit of making your sink shine before bed sounds simple, but if you think about it, you have to have you dishes done before you can shine your sink. HA! Brilliant, the hidden message behind this is I have to do my dishes in order to make my sink shine, then the next morning I wake up to a clean sink. LOVE IT!!!! Day 2 "Get dressed from head to laces" first thing in the morning get up, showered, and dressed that way you are ready to start your day. It is small baby steps, but she adds something new everyday, and gives you time to do something fun. It is kind of like your own personal assistant. She also incorporates "zone cleaning" where she picks a zone of the house per week and you are to spend 15 minutes de-cluttering or working on it a day. BRILLIANT. For me, breaking house work into smaller chunks and building up slowly is so much better than looking at it as a BIG picture and getting overwhelmed. I highly suggest this website to those that have a hard time keeping daily chores organized. I am going to try to blog about my progress often (to hold me accountable). I don't know how many actually read this blog, but I hope this helps someone! Best of Luck, and GOD BLESS!
