A warm (or cooling with our current weather) welcome to the July Flylady thread. This is a lovely friendly thread where we loosely follow the Flylady system (see the Flylady website ) in the hope of having organised homes and lives.
Every day the thread leader (me this month) posts links and missions from the Flylady site and also some friendly (!) personal comments. This is quite a ‘talky’ thread but we try our hardest not to be cliquey and new members are very welcome! I will do my best to keep track of everybody 
.
Please note that Flylady is (understandably) keen for people to click on her site so please do have a look around the site and the links. On the website there is information for beginners. You can also sign up to the Flylady emails but we would advise caution as there are hundreds of them.
We post our achievements (ta das) and our to do lists and any other general chatter about life / flying.
Information on getting started: www.flylady.net/d/getting-started/
The launch pad is also a good starting place:www.flylady.net/c/lp.php
Fly stands for Finally Loving Yourself. The general idea is that short bursts of tidying / organisation are more achievable than marathon efforts. Flylady advises 15 minute bursts is effort but you can tweak this to fit your own circumstances.
Be kind to yourselves, jump in where you are and be careful not to crash and burn!
The first day of the month is Sunday. Since it’s a weekend there is no official mission or zone work, unless you want to of course.
*
Here is the daily summary for Sunday (also available on the Flylady website at flight plan which should update automatically each day).
I assume we are going into zone 1 next week which is the entrance area. However this week we have been in the living room. The Flylady website can take a few days to update the zones when the month changes so I will have a good look at it tomorrow and Monday to see where we are.

The link to the current zone and missions is [[http://www.flylady.net/c/sp.php#missions here].
Re. zones, do what works for you. I don’t always stick to the zones myself and do what works best at the time, with varying degrees of success!
Spend 15 mins decluttering, or whatever you can manage, in Zone 5/ zone 1.
When you have finished decluttering, the detailed cleaning list (if you are at that stage) for Zone 5 is here.

Once I figure out July’s habit I will let you know what it is!

Happy flying everyone.
