Fly lady.....I need some advice.

[Wallaroo]

I have tried to start fly lady on several occasions either on my own (via the web site) or on here baby stepping. I get so far and then loose my motivation. So my questions are.....

1. Did you start Fly Lady from the beginning, ie 1 baby step at a time or did you jump in further on?

1. Did you do baby steps at all?

1. Does it work?

1. How long before you started noticing a difference?

1. Was it a big difference?

I think I am just expecting too much too soon, ie a transformed house over night!

1. Did you start Fly Lady from the beginning, ie 1 baby step at a time or did you jump in further on? I started with the baby steps - my life and the house were a TOTAL mess so really had to go slowly

1. Did you do baby steps at all? Yes - fling boogies and all,

1. Does it work? YES but it takes time - as she says one of the problems is that we seek perfection. because of that we try to fix everything at the very first week

1. How long before you started noticing a difference? At the end of the first day the sitting room floor was visible, day by day new rooms became a little clearer, I am now 2 years in and I slip off the flywagon from time to time but getting back into it is easier than when I first started.

1. Was it a big difference?

Now I never fear someone knocking on the door and wanting to come in for a coffee. I don't live in a show home but it is clean and orderly

PLEASE try to take things slowly and over time you will find that you have come a long way.
are you on the flythreads?

I have been, I start with all good intentions and then I fall off

I started with the babysteps.

I redo the babysteps too. We are redoing them on the fly tread at 2 steps a day.

I noticed a difference after a week, but it was the decluttering that makes and still makes the biggest difference

Using the threads makes me stick at it

It makes my life a massise difference

I really should do it, I really want a nice house. We've just moved and are in the process of unpacking so i am decluttering as we go - I want to stay on top of my house!

So basically the advice is start with each baby step (or 2) take it slowly and don't expect perfection overnight - def where I am going wrong lol

I reckon in all seriousness if you start now that by Christmas your house will be in a good state (unless you are Mr Trebus) and that it will stand you in good stead for the New Year.

Siming too high is where a lot of people fall down. You need to do a little at a time and be prepared that thing will fall by the wayside

Right I'm off to flylady.com to sort my domestic life out!!!

So is the idea you carry on fire fighting (that's what housework feels like to me) as usual and introduce one babystep at a time until you are no longer fire fighting?

That's what I'm hoping, Walleroo - on babysteps day 3 today and feeling good

yup that is it Wallaroo. this should be the Flybaby motto...
