Wrining things downis writing down the things you are already doing, so you will have "shine your sink" on a post it note over the kitchen sink, and "get dressed to shoes" on your bedroom mirror

I never did this, but it is working towards having everything written down in a control journal (see ev and my lists). I just have the list, no journal. It is up t you how far you go with this one.

Reading reminders is the emails, you can read them and delete, just to get used to what you will be doing.

Morning all

Thanks for the thread EV & Jas
biglips christiana & write down the three things on the list. The reminders are your diary of what you need to do today.
sag LOL at fake tan flapping.
Hello to everyone else, DS has a runny nose and is whinging at me.
Have a good morning
BBL

Shannaratiger · 01/07/2008 08:39

Sorry christina got it all wrong, I'll leave the explanations to the others who know what they're talking about. I've only been flying for 10mnths.

EustaciaVye · 01/07/2008 08:52

Write down things you need to do. Like a TO DO List. Meant to be on post it notes around the house but I couldnt bear that. Ultimately you are working towards building a control journal.

If you have signed up to the emails you should read those. They explain how flylady can help you. If not then change the instruction to 'read fly thread on MN'

Morning

Hello to all new FLYers

I have my first day at home since we arrived back from holiday today so I need to play catch-up a little and also really want to get myself back into decent routines before school breaks up and the whole place falls apart!

I'm going to list the must do's
~washing
~unpacking
~clear hall way
~keep on top of putting away clean laundry
~make beds

I'd also like to
~wash sofa covers (need a v warm day for this as they have to line dry)
~hoover and mop downstairs
~get kitchen clean and tidy

My prefered option would be
~lounge in garden with a cold drink and a good book
(I will keep this as my reward for later)

Hope everyone is OK, I'm ashamed to say I haven't been able to keep up with the threads
Back later x

TheMadHouse · 01/07/2008 09:09

Morning all

DS2 was up all night, can not figure what is up with him.

Breakfast is cooling

Mourning routines done

Lunch

DS2 nap
Mission

OhYouBadBadKitten · 01/07/2008 11:10

Good morning all.
Am attempting to 'fly' again. House is finally tidy enough to do a once a week vac/dust/clean bathroom and kitchen/change bedding in a morning. Was out all day yesterday so am doing that now.

Looking at dining room walls - tis rather splodgy with paw/finger prints so I guess tis an apt one today.

Right onwards!

islandofsodor · 01/07/2008 11:19

After a really good start I had such a busy weekend and was out a lot of have slipped so I have decided to go back to Babysteps Day 13.

Read reminders done
2 Minute Hot Spot done
5 Minute Room Rescue
15 Minute declutter

Mission (havn't got a dining room so will clean patio doors & area around dining table instead)

Shine Sink
Clothes for tomorrow (will involve ironing)
Hot Spot

Hi all, just checking in. I am on day three and have just joined up and read some messages on the Yahoo group. That will do for today!
Eustacia you rock! I have just realised you are starting new days each day, that is so useful!
Better go and do the washing up.
But will check in later to see what's happening. {smile]

EustaciaVye · 01/07/2008 11:51

rowingboat - I am indeed very good! Good that you realise so early on in your MN Fly experience

Welcome back Bianca.
