Random Thoughts and Jibber-Jabber by Gina: 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!
