Thank you and Happy New Year! I have been following you and the Flylady for years now. Towards the end of the year, I always need a little boot in the bahookie! 🤣
My goal is actually to do LESS next year. I need to listen to my physical limitations more; pace myself and add self care, rather than making my to do lists too long. (I run our home and my mum's as I'm her carer, and have burnt myself out - physically and mentally - the past nearly 3years).
Hi Diane! I hope your Christmas was great! I am planning on doing the system whole heartedly and not being warm and cold about it. I have been following the flylady system off and on for just about 8 years and, wow, watching you for that long too 🤭(I didn't realize). I am good about it and then circumstances/life happens and I stop. This coming year, no! It will be part of my simplifying and thriving! I am also adding daily self care. Thank you for this video!
I have set up what I call my daybook for retirement (former teacher here). After years of using daily lists with some success, I decided in the autumn to try a list in combination with goal + outcome chart. Most goals are no more than 15 minutes per day. If I want to do more, okay. But I don't feel pressured to do more. This way, there is time every day for "play" (trip to the coffee shop/library, read a book, do a craft, go for a walk, etc.).
No kidding! I feel it when I don’t get enough sleep. Sleep is medicinal. And I have found that getting up early before the whole house to have quiet time with Jesus, a cup of tea and mentally prep myself for the days definitely helps. All the best on your end!
I decluttered a lot before Christmas, so now I'm in all my cabinets. Today I cleaned out my baking station. Then I cleaned one drawer in a cabinet. So my future includes continuing to clean out all the hidden spaces.
I have been enormously inspired by your closet decluttering as you prepare to downsize your home. I had a goal of decluttering 3 pairs of jeans and I got rid of at least a dozen. Instead of asking myself what I don't wear anymore, I got very specific about only keeping one pair of slim jeans to wear inside tall boots, no inseams less than 29", no low- or mid-rise waists, no skinny jeans or slims with knees that are too tight, and no uncomfortable heavy weight denim. No denim that is too light weight, light washed ( I prefer the T-3 dark washes) or baggy. Boot cut jeans are on probation to check if there is enough room around the knees. My 1981 Gloria Vanderbilt Jeans are finally going due to heavy weight, low-rise, and lack of stretch in the fabric. Someone else can get a kick out of wearing authentic vintage. I allowed myself a range of three sizes to accommodate my seasonal weight changes. What I am left with is a selection of jeans that fits my current style, flattering and comfortable fit, goes with my other wardrobe pieces and is enough for two weeks wear and can make up a full load of laundry (I wash denim and darks together). The hardest choices to make were the personal style questions. DYT helped, you helped and some other capsule wardrobe and style RUclipsrs helped a lot. And you helped me accept the idea of permission to only keep the items that help me look and feel my best. 😢And it took me awhile to realize that skinny jeans, slim leg jeans, any kind of tapered leg pants and any kind of ankle pants or Capri pants are never going to be as flattering on my body shape as the other wide leg and straight leg pants that I added to my wardrobe more recently. And the extra space feels great too. More space to put away clean laundry. And clear criteria to declutter from the clean laundry basket. Just because I wore something does not mean it looked better than other options in my closet. I only did the one shelf and moved on to the next part of my day. That felt good. But the best feeling is having a plan for decluttering criteria which is really a plan for looking and feeling my best. Thanks for your teaching and inspiring. ❤️👗❤️🧺❤️🧦❤️👖❤️👟❤️👚❤️🧤❤️👢❤️👕❤️👖❤️
I loved reading your comment! I have plans to dig into my closet and whittle items down using basic criteria - do I like how I feel when wearing it. I really struggle with personal style and because I am carrying extra weight these days, I never feel like anything is flattering. I never can really narrow things down with DYT. I am not sure why I get overwhelmed when I look at it. Would you mind sharing the capsule wardrobe and style RUclipsrs that helped you?
You have done such a brilliant job, Eileen! DYT really helps us hone in on what works for US - you deserve to wear things that feel great on you! Looking forward to hearing more about your wardrobe!
I really need to focus on meal planning, it got totally forgotten in 2024. It was a bad year for me with family issues and grief. But enough is enough 😂. I just caused myself stress xx
Just found you this evening (in the UK). I NEEDED this so much! Thank you very much. I feel so lost - no 'real' friends. Spending Christmas and all the holidays on my own - feeling so lost. I'm sure getting into a routine will help 100%. See you soon ❤
“Real“ friends do, indeed, seem scarce these days… I am very grateful for online communities. I wish you all the very best for the new year to come and send you love 🥰
Diane, I have followed you for years, and I did watch this video when it was first released on the Get Organized Summit. At that time, I did think it was inspired and helpful! But now, at the New Year, I'm receiving it as the inspirational teaching that it is. I've been offered a part-time dream job in my retirement that I'd like to accept, but I know I've gotten so lackadaisical with my time that I was afraid to accept the position. So, watching this video this time, and TAKING NOTES, has empowered me to go forward without fear. I missed so much by not taking notes before (a start time and end time for the morning and evening routines? Brilliant!!! How have I missed that previously? 🤦🏻♀️) I am so excited now!!! Thank you and God bless you and your 2025!!!!
Diane, I did some Fly Lady years ago…and I do remember - get dressed! Put your shoes on! Clean your sink…I NEED to do that again. My house literally looks like a tornado destroyed it/virtually every room except baths and kitchen(partly) are piled high with clutter. I’m so overwhelmed and also not physically able to do what I used to. I’m going to listen to you and try. Thank you❤
I have been doing the Flylady system for about as long as you (we are the same age:). Flylady Marla Cilley herself told us about your videos, and I was hooked on your hygge touch with her routines. I needed to see this video again ( I watched the 2023 Get Organized Summit). My 2025 reset is to do the deep zone cleanings now that I am more organized. Thanks, Diane, and Happy New Year!
Same here! I started at the end of 2004. I didn't know Diane then, though. I found her through DYT! I got overwhelmed with emails and didn't know how to make them my own until Diane. I hope to make 2025 the year of simplicity for myself and my husband. My grandchildren just need my presence, not my perfection. 😊
I've only been watching your videos for about 6 months, and I've learned so much. My mum always stressed getting dressed every morning and making the bed. You brought back some lovely memories. I must get myself a timer. Wishing you a happy, healthy, 9:18 and joy-filled 2025. 😊
I have been a fledgling flylady since 2019 😅 hopefully 2025 will be the year to make ot work! You are so upbeat in this video I've resolved to try one more time - hopefully. Big love from Scotland ❤ 34:03
Hi Diane, you’ve been my inspiration for many years now and I appreciate everything you do to help and support us! The daily routines and self care really works 🎉🙌🫶 Hope 2025 is spectacular for you and your family!
I combine my daily selfcare with my daily shower in the morning. After I come out of the shower I take extra time and go very slow putting on my favorite body lotion, etc.. listening to my favorite music, keeping the lights low, just concentrating on my personal care… no stress at all… afterwards I always feel extra fresh, calm and ready for the day ❤️
You are at your best when you mentor others in the Flylady system, as you make it work for each of us. I first came across your videos in the summer of 2017, and your daily mentoring changed my life for the better. Truly. Thank you!
I’ll be baby-stepping the Fly Lady system this year…focusing on Morning & Evening routines along with the Daily Focus. I’ll pick up the Zone Cleaning within a month or two. This way I won’t feel so overwhelmed by starting everything at once…I tried that once and failed miserably…Thanks for the reminder about Self-Care…it is the cornerstone of our being and so important to implement.
Hi Diane, you have helped me so very much. I admire your dedication, your honesty and your integrity. I love that you are not recommending products but showing how you enjoy your life and encouraging us to do the same. Cozy minimalism it’s a great term and something I try to achieve. Happy new year!
Greetings Diane. Lol spinning, did 2 errands - pharmacy and grocery store. House is in order , bed made swished the bathroom. Today is a treat I I am going to spend a short period of time quilting, I am dedicating 15 mins each day - no missing to pursuit my very enjoyable craft . An amazing small time but committed produces joy and productivity. ❤❤❤Hsppy New Year.
You are such a light in my life Diane! I’m going to print out some of your guides as I find myself forgetting what to do next! I am finding once I start a task I tend to go “all in”, but hopefully stopping short of “perfection”. I have so much delayed deep cleaning. Doing great on things I really enjoy, like decluttering & donating, small tidying tasks, but boy, the deferred deep cleaning tasks are daunting. Any tips?
I love watching your videos... you a wee but further in your life, my ds17 will be finishing school in a few years and life is getting easier, but I am also looking forward to being just hubby and me. I have managed to get in a habit of doing Duolingo every day (380 days and counting 🎉). At some point I want to downsize as well. Looking at you is looking into the future 😅 Warm greetings from Finland ❤❤❤
I haven’t been following your videos for about two months so I had a lot of catching up to do while preparing dinner and doing dishes. Time to reset and move forward into 2025… less procrastination and more doing.
I so appreciate your expertise and the way you teach with kindness and motivation. In 2025 I’d like to pull my routines more into the weekdays so that my weekends are more for free time.
Thanks Diane 👋 I remember at the start of the year you asked us to comment on all of your videos for the year. I’ve done that and it’s amazing to see your channel grow. Love your content. See you in 2025 😊
Thanks for refreshing the system. I got sick and all the Christmas overwhelm got to me. I still don't feel great now, but I feel better looking around my decluttered living room and kitchen and see the routines again. All best wishes for the new year.
I think January is a good time to reevaluate, recharge, reenergize, restart and reflect on what we want to work on in the coming year. Maybe fitness, health, organizing, decluttering, self-care and your videos motivate us in all those areas. Thank you for your enthusiasm and motivation.
Thank you, Diane! Your cheerful and caring nature is such an inspiration. I really appreciate your patience and the way you simplify and explain things. You truly are a great cheerleader!
I’m going to concentrate on the good things I ‘do’ and try to fill time with them, rather than putting effort in to trying to stop myself doing things I know full well I shouldn’t. Have a great 2025 Diane 🎉
I watched this when it came out during the conference but it was a good, and timely, reminder to hear it again. My goal for 2025 is to do a pupa at least three times a week. My husband is a confirmed believer after seeing how much we can do in 10 minutes and what a difference it makes to how our home looks, so we usually do it together 👍🙂
This was such a good presentation on the Flylady system. No wonder it was so well- received. You were so helpful with my routines after retiring from my career as a librarian.
I'm gunna do a dump run of all the stored items my family and I have been pretending we'll need and use. (There are quite a few boxes from our move that haven't seemed necessary to even open.) It's been an issue of contention but I think I have good grounds- 3 years later- to finally get 'er done!
Lovely check in with you today- my treat with a cup of coffee, enjoying me time whilst the family are out. Feeling a bit down after the Christmas festivities, and also nursing a fractured wrist, so your cheerful smile and positive nature has really boosted my mood. Looking forward to your inspiration in 2025 🎉❤
Planning on decluttering even more. I have been following you for a couple of years and have made some progress but I feel I need to get into gear to see bigger changes. I am also going to be more mindful with money; spend after being more intentional. Can’t wait for 2025. Lets get this show on the road.
Merry Christmas and happy 2025!!! Have been following you for soooo many years, and your RUclips channel has been such great help. Though the wheels fall off sometime but with your help, I was able to find my way back. It's great to have the refresher, looking forward to even greater improvements. Thanks again, Diane .
Thank you Diane. This was a useful reminder video. I do very well with the Fly Lady system even the self care. However, this last month I replaced my 30 minute after lunch reading session to get something done for the holiday. Oh my gosh, what a mistake. By Christmas I felt a bit off, so yesterday I started my lunch reading again. I immediately felt better. Even though I read at night, that me time during the day is so needed. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great refresh, Diane! It reminded me how helpful the routines are ... I'm carrying on in 2025 and polishing them up a bit, thanks to this. You are appreciated. 🇨🇦❤️🇩🇰
Thank-you for this reminder of the Flylady system. I have adapted it over the years, whilst working out of the house, to working from home, and now into retirement. Thank-you for your lovely and encouraging videos. You are definitely a wonderful cheerleader for me!
A treat for sure, Diane, to get to watch your Get Organized presentation. Thank you! It's always good to have a year-end review of how things should be flowing. The FlyLady system is the only one I've seen that really works. I've been a Flybaby since 2003. Your tweaks enhance it even more, and have been great additions for me. Best wishes in 2025! 💙
Thank you, Diane, for all your help and reminders that help keep us on track for a peaceful and organized life. Wishing you and yours a very happy New Year.
I really have to focus myself to the daily self care minutes. Everytime you bring it up in your videos I have the feeling you talked to me right in the face 😅. Well never to old to learn. Will try (again and again and again) until it will be a routine as well
Happy 2025 to you and yours Diane! Your explanation of the FlyLady system has made my housekeeping easier to manage over the past few years! Thank you!
You are so sweet and a delight to watch. I love how you broke down her system. I am a flybaby from way back, but incredibly inconsistent. I picked up some tips from you. I will try to incorporate them, especially writing down the routines. Looking forward to more tips. But for now, I need to get back to work!
I have understood this system for years but this is the year I plan to fully embrace it after a couple of years of personal ill health and bereavement, hoping to go from everything everywhere all at once to everything in its place and time, thank you for this gift Diane it was a timely kick up the bahookie 😂, best wishes to you and everyone for the New Year 🎉
Thank you Diane, I’ve had versions of what you have suggested over the past few years, but your ‘templates’ are so concise and clear, it so helpful ☺️ thank you 😊
I have been a follower for many years and I always welcome a refresher! This year I plan to go back to the basics. Simple, daily routines so that I can focus on a simple, peaceful life. I want to add FUN to each week - even if it’s a walk in a new area. Happy New Year!
Thanks for the reminder Diane to get my plan back in action. Been watching you since 2016/17 I believe! Happy new year and I hope 2025 is a better year 🎉❤
Thank you Diane for cheering us through 2024, for being an example of taking care of yourself and putting one foot in front of the other when times are very very hard, for showing up in life everyday. Looking forward to seeing where you take us and to celebrating your new home in 2025. Happy New Year!🎊🎉 and a Rah! Rah! Rah!!
I’m heading off to spend a couple of weeks with my elderly (and unwell) folks, where I know from experience that entering their home is like getting lost in a black hole. So, I am thinking about how I can keep my routines, especially meal planning and self-care. Thanks for all your inspiration! Rah rah rah🎉
My dear Diane, thank you so much for this video. I've watched it begging to end. I know all these things already don't I 😃😉 but it feels SO good to revise them every now and then, to check in with your own current situation and adapt. You gave me some food for thought. Thank you. I'm wishing you the nicest holidays, I know they are hard for you this year ❤ for me too, but I get inspired from you a tone. Thank you and a big big hug to you ❤
Rah rah rah for 2025! Thank you, Diane, for all that you do. This video is a wonderful encapsulation of daily routines - I watched it during the Get Organized conference and loved re-watching it today. You make the Fly Lady system straight-forward and customizable. It is so helpful!
My evening routine is to make sure the kitchen is "closed," my coffee is ready for the morning, the cat food and water is topped up, and the cat dishes are clean and ready to go for their little breakfast. Like you, I also need to get dressed (because I work from home) and make my bed every morning. Even with all this, there are many things I could add.
Over the years I’ve had starts and stop with the routines. Having you go over the whole method (again) has helped me to see my daily focus days are where I’ve been getting thrown off, especially since my schedule changes every semester. I think I was blowing to rigid and not adopting it to my own needs. I am feeling more optimistic about building on the routines that I’ve started again with you.
Dear Diane, you would be so proud of me, I managed to get my husband to declutter his books. My books I did before Christmas! I declutter homemoffice drawers. Making progress. All what you do for us works! I do not do big projects any more, it overwhelms me, but little by little things move forward! Thank you and Happy and clutter free New Year to us all.

@@janeb3024 Love this idea, thank you!
@tonicarey971 I hope that it helps!
Adding play is my goal right now. I need more “scheduled” fun breaks.
Brilliant! A task and then a reward 😊
We’re going to stop saying “Wow we need to do that NEXT year & start doing things THIS year” 😊
Brilliant, Renee! Start TODAY!
My main goal is my evening routine so i get to bed on time and wake up ready to start the day
No kidding! I feel it when I don’t get enough sleep. Sleep is medicinal. And I have found that getting up early before the whole house to have quiet time with Jesus, a cup of tea and mentally prep myself for the days definitely helps. All the best on your end!

You have done such a brilliant job, Eileen! DYT really helps us hone in on what works for US - you deserve to wear things that feel great on you! Looking forward to hearing more about your wardrobe!
@@dsmith9796thank you for the suggestion, I will check her out!
I really need to focus on meal planning, it got totally forgotten in 2024. It was a bad year for me with family issues and grief. But enough is enough 😂. I just caused myself stress xx
2024 was exactly the same for me; absolutely one of the worst..
@homeirajaz4037 sorry to hear that. We need to focus on ourselves too ❤️
In 2025, I plan to use all the things and not save things for special occasions, and I plan to dance more! Wishing you a wonderful New Year, Diane!
Love that! Every day is a special occasion! 🤩
The Fly Ladys process. Put on my shoes and clean my sink. My depression lifted. Love your channel too.
Just found you this evening (in the UK). I NEEDED this so much! Thank you very much. I feel so lost - no 'real' friends. Spending Christmas and all the holidays on my own - feeling so lost. I'm sure getting into a routine will help 100%. See you soon ❤
I'd love to be a friend and encourage you with routines. I don't know how to private message here, though...
Welcome here, Janet!
“Real“ friends do, indeed, seem scarce these days… I am very grateful for online communities. I wish you all the very best for the new year to come and send you love 🥰
Thank you so much ❤
@hanneshuette That's lovely - thank you so much - Happy New Year to you too ❤
For sure mine is less mindless scrolling on social media. I'm getting back to focusing on my own life and goals!!!

Doing great on things I really enjoy, like decluttering & donating, small tidying tasks, but boy, the deferred deep cleaning tasks are daunting. Any tips?
I love watching your videos... you a wee but further in your life, my ds17 will be finishing school in a few years and life is getting easier, but I am also looking forward to being just hubby and me. I have managed to get in a habit of doing Duolingo every day (380 days and counting 🎉). At some point I want to downsize as well. Looking at you is looking into the future 😅 Warm greetings from Finland ❤❤❤
I am organizing and labeling Christmas decor for each area I decorating. Usually it’s in boxes willy nilly .
I haven’t been following your videos for about two months so I had a lot of catching up to do while preparing dinner and doing dishes. Time to reset and move forward into 2025… less procrastination and more doing.
What a great and inspiring summary of the flylady system!👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️
Happy to spend another year flying alongside you, Diane! 🎉🎉🎉
Yay, always glad to see you here, Karin!
Rah! Rah! Rah! Cheering you on as you cheer us on !
Simple and balanced in all parts of my life. That is my focus. Happy New Year Diane! 🎉 and everyone! 🎉
I so appreciate your expertise and the way you teach with kindness and motivation. In 2025 I’d like to pull my routines more into the weekdays so that my weekends are more for free time.
I'm going to start using a timer! It will help me get more done. 😁
Thanks Diane 👋 I remember at the start of the year you asked us to comment on all of your videos for the year. I’ve done that and it’s amazing to see your channel grow. Love your content. See you in 2025 😊
Thank you for your support - I truly appreciate it, MellyJo!!
Thanks for refreshing the system. I got sick and all the Christmas overwhelm got to me. I still don't feel great now, but I feel better looking around my decluttered living room and kitchen and see the routines again. All best wishes for the new year.
Happy New Year Diana🎉. I’m working hard on getting my health in order so I can be more active. I find your videos very motivating.
I think January is a good time to reevaluate, recharge, reenergize, restart and reflect on what we want to work on in the coming year. Maybe fitness, health, organizing, decluttering, self-care and your videos motivate us in all those areas. Thank you for your enthusiasm and motivation.
Thank you, Diane! Your cheerful and caring nature is such an inspiration. I really appreciate your patience and the way you simplify and explain things. You truly are a great cheerleader!
Thank you so much, TraDonna!
I’m going to concentrate on the good things I ‘do’ and try to fill time with them, rather than putting effort in to trying to stop myself doing things I know full well I shouldn’t. Have a great 2025 Diane 🎉
I watched this when it came out during the conference but it was a good, and timely, reminder to hear it again. My goal for 2025 is to do a pupa at least three times a week. My husband is a confirmed believer after seeing how much we can do in 10 minutes and what a difference it makes to how our home looks, so we usually do it together 👍🙂
This was such a good presentation on the Flylady system. No wonder it was so well- received. You were so helpful with my routines after retiring from my career as a librarian.
I'm gunna do a dump run of all the stored items my family and I have been pretending we'll need and use. (There are quite a few boxes from our move that haven't seemed necessary to even open.) It's been an issue of contention but I think I have good grounds- 3 years later- to finally get 'er done!
You are a hero, Diane. Bringing hope to us all. X
Thank you for this full review of the system. I want and need to get back on track. I’ll be looking forward to the challenge you mentioned!
Hi everyone, it's exercise for me and how to set myself up for the day a head so I'll be watching you closely. 🙂
Thank you for this great overview! For 2025 I'm going to strive for "done" rather than perfect
Glad it was helpful!
Lovely check in with you today- my treat with a cup of coffee, enjoying me time whilst the family are out.
Feeling a bit down after the Christmas festivities, and also nursing a fractured wrist, so your cheerful smile and positive nature has really boosted my mood.
Looking forward to your inspiration in 2025 🎉❤
🙏😊
Yes!! 🕯️ I’m ready to simplify and create ease in 2025! Many thanks to you Diane 🎉
Planning on decluttering even more. I have been following you for a couple of years and have made some progress but I feel I need to get into gear to see bigger changes. I am also going to be more mindful with money; spend after being more intentional. Can’t wait for 2025. Lets get this show on the road.
Good plan, Mandy!
Merry Christmas and happy 2025!!! Have been following you for soooo many years, and your RUclips channel has been such great help. Though the wheels fall off sometime but with your help, I was able to find my way back. It's great to have the refresher, looking forward to even greater improvements. Thanks again, Diane .
Thank you Diane. This was a useful reminder video. I do very well with the Fly Lady system even the self care. However, this last month I replaced my 30 minute after lunch reading session to get something done for the holiday. Oh my gosh, what a mistake. By Christmas I felt a bit off, so yesterday I started my lunch reading again. I immediately felt better. Even though I read at night, that me time during the day is so needed. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You inspire me to try to make 2025 a much better year. Thank you!
Dear Diane, thank you for your inspiration and guidance 😊 - you helped me a lot in last 2 years. ❤ Happy New Year! ❤
Great refresh, Diane! It reminded me how helpful the routines are ... I'm carrying on in 2025 and polishing them up a bit, thanks to this. You are appreciated. 🇨🇦❤️🇩🇰
Have a Happy New Year Diane, much love from AZ😎🍾🥂🎉
Thank-you for this reminder of the Flylady system. I have adapted it over the years, whilst working out of the house, to working from home, and now into retirement. Thank-you for your lovely and encouraging videos. You are definitely a wonderful cheerleader for me!
Wonderful, Trisha! 👏🤩
A treat for sure, Diane, to get to watch your Get Organized presentation. Thank you! It's always good to have a year-end review of how things should be flowing. The FlyLady system is the only one I've seen that really works. I've been a Flybaby since 2003. Your tweaks enhance it even more, and have been great additions for me. Best wishes in 2025! 💙
Thank you, Diane, for all your help and reminders that help keep us on track for a peaceful and organized life. Wishing you and yours a very happy New Year.
Thanks for reposting Diane, great reminders!
I really have to focus myself to the daily self care minutes. Everytime you bring it up in your videos I have the feeling you talked to me right in the face 😅. Well never to old to learn. Will try (again and again and again) until it will be a routine as well
I love all the little ways we can fit self care in every day!
Happy 2025 to you and yours Diane! Your explanation of the FlyLady system has made my housekeeping easier to manage over the past few years! Thank you!
You are so sweet and a delight to watch. I love how you broke down her system. I am a flybaby from way back, but incredibly inconsistent. I picked up some tips from you. I will try to incorporate them, especially writing down the routines. Looking forward to more tips. But for now, I need to get back to work!
You are so welcome and good luck! 👏😃
Thanks so much for doing this!! I’m thrilled & encourage everyone to follow along! Diane speaks from experience and truth. ❤from Canada 🇨🇦
Diane, thanks for the refresh
🎉🎉🎉 Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I’ve been a subscriber since shortly before your son’s graduation. You are truly a gift. 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much, Sarah!
Thank you for encouraging us to keep on- Reset & Move!🎉
I have understood this system for years but this is the year I plan to fully embrace it after a couple of years of personal ill health and bereavement, hoping to go from everything everywhere all at once to everything in its place and time, thank you for this gift Diane it was a timely kick up the bahookie 😂, best wishes to you and everyone for the New Year 🎉
Thanks, Clare!
Thank you, Diane, for putting this video together. It helps to understand the routines better. Happy New Year!
Thank you Diane, I’ve had versions of what you have suggested over the past few years, but your ‘templates’ are so concise and clear, it so helpful ☺️ thank you 😊
I have been a follower for many years and I always welcome a refresher! This year I plan to go back to the basics. Simple, daily routines so that I can focus on a simple, peaceful life. I want to add FUN to each week - even if it’s a walk in a new area. Happy New Year!
Yes! I like her! I just listened her tips 2:15 for the first time and I already subscribed 😊
Thank you so much, Gabriela!
I found this video so helpful. Thank you Diane ❤
Thanks for the reminder Diane to get my plan back in action. Been watching you since 2016/17 I believe! Happy new year and I hope 2025 is a better year 🎉❤
Thank you Diane for cheering us through 2024, for being an example of taking care of yourself and putting one foot in front of the other when times are very very hard, for showing up in life everyday. Looking forward to seeing where you take us and to celebrating your new home in 2025. Happy New Year!🎊🎉 and a Rah! Rah! Rah!!
Thanks for the self care reminder. Definitely a game changer.
Thank you Diane for another encouraging video. Happy 2025 to all.
I’m heading off to spend a couple of weeks with my elderly (and unwell) folks, where I know from experience that entering their home is like getting lost in a black hole. So, I am thinking about how I can keep my routines, especially meal planning and self-care. Thanks for all your inspiration! Rah rah rah🎉
Happy new year Diane. Here’s to healthy happier 2025 ❤❤❤
Thank you for this refresher Diane. Inspiring and motivating as always ❤️💛💚💙✨
My dear Diane, thank you so much for this video. I've watched it begging to end. I know all these things already don't I 😃😉 but it feels SO good to revise them every now and then, to check in with your own current situation and adapt. You gave me some food for thought. Thank you. I'm wishing you the nicest holidays, I know they are hard for you this year ❤ for me too, but I get inspired from you a tone. Thank you and a big big hug to you ❤
Hugs right back to you! 💖
Thanks for this video, Diane.
Happy New Year in advance.
Hope we all have a fabulous year.
🎉❤
Thanks Diane you motivate me.
Rah rah rah for 2025! Thank you, Diane, for all that you do. This video is a wonderful encapsulation of daily routines - I watched it during the Get Organized conference and loved re-watching it today. You make the Fly Lady system straight-forward and customizable. It is so helpful!
We can do it! Happy holidays 😊
My evening routine is to make sure the kitchen is "closed," my coffee is ready for the morning, the cat food and water is topped up, and the cat dishes are clean and ready to go for their little breakfast. Like you, I also need to get dressed (because I work from home) and make my bed every morning. Even with all this, there are many things I could add.
Over the years I’ve had starts and stop with the routines. Having you go over the whole method (again) has helped me to see my daily focus days are where I’ve been getting thrown off, especially since my schedule changes every semester. I think I was blowing to rigid and not adopting it to my own needs. I am feeling more optimistic about building on the routines that I’ve started again with you.
Dear Diane, you would be so proud of me, I managed to get my husband to declutter his books. My books I did before Christmas! I declutter homemoffice drawers. Making progress. All what you do for us works! I do not do big projects any more, it overwhelms me, but little by little things move forward! Thank you and Happy and clutter free New Year to us all.
Thank you for this wonderful reminder!!❤
You are such a wonderful cheerleader Diane! Thanks for all you do for us. My home is more manageable now because of you ❤
Love that, KittyCuddle!
I really enjoyed today's video Diane. Thank you!
