Welcome to the thread where we (loosely) follow the Flylady housekeeping system here to combat CHAOS (can't have anyone over syndrome) with a load of 
, chat and mutual support along the way. Quite a few of us have been on here for a while, so for that reason, we may seem cliquey, but we really aren't, and all newcomers, lurkers, returnees, regulars, and intermittent regulars are very welcome!
Every day I will post a link to the activities for "Today" which summarises everything you need on a daily basis if you want to follow the system strictly, but we tend to adapt it to suit our individual circumstances, homes, and energy-levels!
Please note that, athough Flylady is keen for us to check in to the website, we've recently had a few concerns wrt security, so although there is lots of useful info on the site, it's best not download it or put any of your personal details into the website for now, or sign up to the (many and frequent) e-mails (but your choice as some fledglings find the latter helpful).
More information on getting started available:
here (containing baby-steps!) but please don't hesitate to ask if you have any further qs.
There are 4 levels for Flying:
-Baby steps - good for starting a routine and overcoming the perfection crippling effect
-Baby steps and missions - basic routine + more in depth tasks
-Baby steps, missions, and deep cleaning (if you are at that stage).
You can't clean clutter so don't consider this one if you need the next level.
-Flying combined with a decluttering system (kondo/unfuck etc etc) let's be honest fly lady is good for routine but not so quick with the decluttering results sometimes.
There is NO wrong or right way of doing this, it is about adapting the system to suit your life circumstances, which will be different from someone else's, and don't be put off by the barftastically twee nature of the Flylady site, the underlying system is sound. Feel free to ignore any step or routine that doesn't suit you or your home! No perfectionism allowed!
And when it all gets too much: come and take a seat by the fire in our specially adapted "naughty" corner where you can enjoy virtual 
and and lots of support from fellow fledglings.
More info follows (but again, please note we advise only looking at the pdfs and not downloading them):
** launch pad (general info) here
** daily babysteps pdf (ignore the ones that don't suit you or your home) here
** week day missions (some fledglings find it easier to do them at weekends) here
** info about zones (explanation of how zones work) here
** weekly zones (a rough weekly guide to which area of the house we are tackling currently, again adapt to suit yourself) here and here
** daily focus (helpful guide to allocate a certain day for a certain task) here and here
** deep cleaning lists pdf (only attempt when you have decluttered as you can't clean clutter!) here
Good luck and happy Flying one and all!
