...or just aim to get through the summer holidays!
Welcome to the August Flylady thread. This is a really lovely thread where we loosely follow the Flylady system (see the Flylady website ) in the hope of having organised homes and lives.
Every day I will post a link to the launchpad which has everything you need for that day if you do want to follow the system strictly. Plenty of options to follow the system more loosely as well :).
Please do familiarise yourself with the Flylady website, especially if you are new. The Flylady is (understandably) keen that people do look at the website.
On the website there is information for beginners. You can also sign up to the Flylady emails but we would advise not to 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!

A daily summary (which should update automatically every day) is available on the Flylady website at flight plan here.

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!
daily focus
missions for the week

August’s habit is laundry - attempt to conquer Mt. Washmore!

The best place to look for an overall summary is the launch pad.
Happy flying everyone.

Please note that while there is lots of information on the website, from a security point of view we would advise caution with putting any personal details in or downloading anything.
