Hello Terri...just want you to know that I've been thinking of you and praying for you, especially yesterday...I felt a nudge to pray for you specifically. I hope all is well with you. I appreciate the prayerss that you pour out for all of us. Have a blessed day! 😊❤

is the duster soft and fluffy?

Great cleaning tips ;)

Haha! I'm hinking now, my approach IS kind of a combo of the 2, but in Flylady form, if that makes sense. I have my zones fone over a week's time, and my Weekly Home Blessing, Swish and Swipe, and all the things Flylafy stylr. However, my break down of my Weekly zjome znlessing and my Zone Cleaning are similar to Clean Mamma or the 3-wave sydtem. S9, in my Weekly Jome Blessing, I do eaither ip to 3 really smalm weekly tasks or one large tasks (mopping, even the simple mopping, takes me more like an hour or so, gor exsmple), pet day for 6 days. And for zone cleaning, with each zone, I focuse on only 1 type of seasonal or rotational task each day for 5 days. So, I save Weekly mopping and vacuuming for days 4 and 5, and I'll do simple vmopoing and vacuiming in my msin areas, but then detail mop or vacuim in whichever xone I'm in a zone that I'm still foing major de-cluttering in. I am not about to tske out tge same cleaning supplies very single day.

Hi Teri! Thanks for this video. I’ve been doing Flylady for 7 years now. I agree that the FL website confused me so bad at first. I started following Flylady Kat and it made all the difference!!! Flylady works! It’s the best plan ever for me! Thank you❤

Such a thoughtful and honest take on decluttering! Thanks for sharing your insights and practical advice. 🙏

I do exercises whilst doing housework great workout as is gardening 💐

Great job lady❤!!!

When I was younger and working I just cleaned the whole house on Saturday morning and did all the laundry on Monday night. I wish I could do that now but I'm older so I have to do a little at a time or I'd be in traction. 😂

I needed this! Thank you 🥰

I’ve never been to her website but I’ve been using her app for two years

The sweeper works well on our outdoor rug on the deck

Hi....thanks for ur vidio i am sure i can do it....i have problem about cleaning, dont know starting from where n i am fell alone doing cleaning...btw my husband canadian n i am Indonesian alot argue between US is about cleaning...hope this Will help me

I found fly Lady in 2008 also, never quite got the hang of it. I do manage some things daily, but need to restart this thing. Oh watching more of your video..we are the same person 😮❤😅

Hey sweet friend ❤ I was happy to see a new video up. I hope you are enjoying your summer! My poor house looks terrible after a busy VBS week. I’m going to rest today and reset tomorrow.

I still have a Kirby. My husband bought it at a garage sale for $20.00 about 15 years ago. I mostly use one of my lighter weight vacuums now.

I hang a clean dish towel inside the door of my dishwasher when the cycle is done. It absorbs the moisture clinging to the dishes. I may have to blot a little water from items that don’t have flat bottoms, but otherwise dishes are dry

Hi Terry. I’m Cindy, 68, I work as a flight attendant, still working, grown kids and have 5 cats. Your video popped up today so I listened as I wanted some motivation while attempting to clean. I felt your genuine message and wanted to thank you. Then i put on another and then I put on this video to listen. I want to add that I first found Flylady in her beginnings in 1999. I have been trying to find a routine and tried her systems off n on since then to create less chaos and nothing has worked. I’m exhausted of trying and at this point in my life, I’d just like to have some sense of organization and routine before I die and so frustrated that I cannot get on board like so many other people. Like Many others I’ve tried many other systems and watched other tubers, books, etc, like most people I find that the fly ladies website is overwhelming. I thought that in 1999 and I still think it today but I do think she has a lot of good baseline ideas and I think she’s amazing because she has created and opened the door for so many RUclipsrs and made them money with their businesses and helped so many people, She truly is the queen and deserves upmost respect. Well…. today I am once again starting over and trying after 25 years of no success. I might add, . I have had success off n on for about 2 weeks ish and then I fall apart …back to the drawing board. I am the one who just does a 24 hour rush insane clean the house if I have to and I get it all done… it looks fantastic but then it’s soon falls apart because most of the stuff wasn’t put away in a proper place as I never know where to store it as I have storing issues. So it will get stuffed in the closet, etc., or putting bags in the shed etc. Am I the only person Who can’t figure it out in 25 years? ( rhetorical question) for me, it isn’t just routines. It’s trying to find a place in my small house for items with my five cats ( one just passed after 23 years ) trying to figure out where to put things with no closet space etc., I have decluttered, I have joined Facebook decluttering groups. I started my own Facebook Declutter group and made friends. . I’ve bought apps , my other hone had a basement and seemed to be more organized then, and I’ve bought book’s, I’ve given away tons and tons of items and I regret giving away so many . .. by the way people say they never regret giving stuff away, I’ve regretted it and I’ve bought many items back . I just feel like I’m completely different than everybody else. .. I have a love of so many things that I like to do and still want to try to do but of course the lack of routine and organization just throws a wrench in most things. All this in combination with my zero work schedule causes chaos and anxiety because I never have the same schedule . Well, I’m going back to try to start again. At least I don’t give up, but I don’t think I’m gonna have success. ( oops, yes so I know not suppose to be negative but after 25 years of trying I’m guilty ………I do think that when I pass I will never reach this simple goal of trying to have a neat and tidy home so that someone could just come in at any time without being worried because that’s the way I’ve lived my entire life. Any suggestions? Lol

Thank you! This answered a lot of my questions! 😊

Girl I agree 100% with you!!! Also I am one of those who struggle with sentimental things bc all my family has passed.

I enjoyed this video. There are suggestions about cleaning/decluttering that don't work for me. I need to work on one shelf or drawer at a time. Pulling everything out of my pantry at once is overwhelming.

I've been doing her system since 2004. Reading her book Sink Reflections is probably the best way to get a grasp of her system. While it took me awhile to read through things on the website at the time, which was different back then, it wasn't at all complicated once I read more and got the hang of it and it became more familiar. There's really 3 main parts, and they are all simple unless we complicate it with perfectionism. Daily routines, weekly home blessing and zone. I've tried other systems, and I always go back to FlyLady. There tends to be much more of wanting instant everything now days, and perhaps that plays a part in why people quit many things, not just FlyLady.

I randomly downloaded her app because it was free, and I was looking for something to help me. It’s actually quite well organized and easy to edit and get going with.

I'm in treatments with a new dr who understands my rare genetic cancer. I'm loving him & the treatment plan! I felt so good that I was able to spend 3 days decluttering with a helper! I'm resting today--it's treatment day. My helper will be back Friday. We will be decluttering the bedroom closet, clothes, and craft supplies. So enjoyed this video! 🥰

Clutter is always trying to sneak into our space...the more people who live with you the harder it becomes! Learning to always be on the lookout for things to donate/toss/sell is key to keeping it under control. What was your takeaway from today?

Hey Terri. I have an update on my evening g routine. Lastnight, for the first time in I fon't know when, indtead of taking 2 hours or more to do yhe evening clean-up...it took me...wait for it...1 hr and 15 min! The strategies I've put in place the past few months are now paying off! The one thing, I think, that I ley for me In getting g o. Top of my routines more efficiently, is not to ever quit and start over, but when I get frustrated with jow ling it takes me, just kerp persevering and in the meantime, continue to look for ways to mak even one task easier, or to determine if a task can be done during a different part of the day. And lots of patience with myself. Anyway, just wanted to let you know how it's going, since my evening routines have have a huge struggle for so long. I hope you are having a great day!

A belated comment from someone who's just recently found your channel : I can totally relate to your flylady emails comment. They completely overwhelmed me back in 2005 when I tried her system for the first time. It also added to a feeling of failure because I wasn't a wife and mother. Back in 2005, her system was very much for homemakers and homeschooling homemakers. So, I would feel like I couldn't do the system because I didn't see myself there. This is my third try this year and the third try is a keeper. 🙂 It's also an answer to prayer. The Lord nudged me back to the Flylady system. It feels different this time. I'm starting to be consistent with the weekly home blessing that I do on Saturday mornings and I'm already noticing the difference. And I'm adjusting things and experimenting rather than being a perfectionist (which I most certainly was back in 2005!)

This was such a helpful pep talk. Thank you. As someone who cleans for a living, I never want to clean at home, and therefore I procrastinate. I also love perfection which is something I'm fighting against. Small chunks and making things better is definitely the answer. 😊

Ok. Completely off-topix, but our female cat recently had 5 kittens and they just started exploring tgs house tge itger day...well.. I'm in my quiet time right kiw, and 3 of those little smidgets have decided that underneath tge couch cushions is a perfect hiding spot....sooooooo....new rule in my house will be...always lift up and check underneath the couch cushion you are about to sit on lol

Listening to this whike I crochet for an hour, after a very busy and productive morning. I have 2 hours to spend doing whate ef I want to vefore I get busy again with dinner prep and tiday's weekly and zone cleaning. I admit, i My morning routibes still take ne hyst as libg as before with the task bracelets, but the differwnces now are: 1. Not letting dustractio s detail me. 2. Not over-thinking ir all and just doing it. 3. Less stress over alm tge things. 4. Most days, nothing gets left over to add to the mirning or evenibg routine. 5. Actually having free time between routines, without my brain going crazy over what still needs to get done. And 6, my evening routine is starting to get zhirter and easier. I stick 30 minutes at best and 45 minutes at worst mow, to do the ginal vkean-up, rehardless if what is or is not finished. And I'm getting a,whole bunch more done after dinner in azy less time while sticking ti that strict time limit. I'm telling you, Terri, the 3 main parts of my system: 1 going from digital to paper planning and making building my control journal one of my daily ficuses (buikding a little bit st a time), 2. Embracing the Fly Lady system and dojng it my way, and 3. These task bracelets... Oh, and actuslly, 2 more: Clutter Bug concepts for irganising, and Dana K White's No-Mess De-clutter system...those 5 ghings, in addition to things I skready had in pkace...have changed my lide in how I get through my days! Wat hing you since tge beginning of my "getting my s..t together" journey 3 years ago, I feel like you have coached me tlas yo how yo yhink pitsidd the box and work sith my brain, instead of wirking agaist it. Thank you!

The paperback book is TEN times better than the website

Hey there so it sounds perfect for me leaving at 7am to 4pm mon to sat and Sunday off

Hey Terri. So, I made a decision tonight and deided to...wait for it...drop the "shiny sink" goal and instead commit to a 30 minute tidy up, with just getting the dishes moving forward as much as tine would allow, and focusing more on making the kitchen and main areas looking neat, even if all the dishes weren't done. I commited to the timer. And guess what? All the other things got done and the kitchen looks neat, even though there are dishes soaking in the sink and a couple of pots on the counter. And I wa not rushed or stressed. And it didn't take me 2 plus hours just to get dishes done and kitchen cleaned up and laundry switched around. Now this was an easy dinner night. On a normal nighr, I'll have lotss more dishes(I handwash). So, I think 45 minutes will be reaonable on those nights. If I commit to 30 minutes in the morning for morning routine ckeaning and left-over dishes, and then 45 minutes tops adter dinner, my evening routine will go much more quickly with less stress. My sink gets cleaned every time I do a load of dishes anyway. But limiting my clean-up time, whether the job. Is complete or not, will save my sanity , give me more time to relax, and keep it all from getting out of control. The counters and table are clean, the floor is sweot, laundry tajen care of, and the counters aren't covered full of dishes. I can live with that

Watching from Slovenia! Love your amazing channel

They have become unaffordable. .

Your prayer really touched my heart, Terri💗 Thank you for this video, and for showing up as a real person who cares. You are making a postitive difference in the world.

You might have answered this somewhere but I’m wondering how do you assign chores to teenagers? I don’t want to be the only one maintaining the house because they need to run a home when they leave. This is important to me but I’m not seeing this anywhere.
