I have been doing FlyLady for a while now but it took failing a couple of times before I FINALLY figured it all out. My mission is to save you a ton of time trying to figure it all out. As you can see, not every day is focused on adding a new cleaning task. FlyLady is teaching us the routines to MANAGE the house and that includes several tiny tasks that will build to make a successful daily routine. How are you doing so far? How can I help? Did you print off the baby step tracker: todaywithterrik.com/flylady-baby-steps-for-2023/#!/
Thank you for loving everyone enough to warn about the emails & web site!😂 I definitely had to stop the emails!! I love Flylady program and free app!!!! But really dislike her website and email. I just stay clear of them! I enjoy you and the uplifting Diane in Denmark for making it approachable, changing it up to fit your own life, and keeping it real & fun! Thank you!🥰
Hi Terri! You are an absolute treasure and I'm so glad I found your channel 🥰I learned about FlyLady from That Awkward Mom and I am really enjoying both of your content. I was about to skip all the baby steps and just dive right into the full flylady routine and then I watched one of your videos saying no, don't do it, the baby steps are worth it. So I am going to CURB MY IMPATIENCE and start slow and steady lol 🐢 . I shined my sink yesterday, and just ordered myself a cute pair of pink tennis shoes on Amazon to be my indoor shoes 👟 Looking forward to being part of the FB group as well.
Yay and welcome! I just know there are a lot of little things and adding them slowly makes it not as overwhelming. Try this video if you want the condensed version of the Baby Steps: ruclips.net/video/fwFcAmmgzV4/видео.html
@@TodaywithTerriK This is great, thank you! I am doing this condensed version, and it is working well for me (I am on Day 4). My sink is shiny, my bed is made, and my toilet and sink are looking good✨
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
You know that my advice is to do what works for you. You know that you have made some amazing progress. Watching you work it out is so inspiring! Keep on going. Plus the bracelet tracking system is a whole new way to do things that I hadn’t imagined. Very proud and excited for you!
@TodaywithTerriK thank you! Oh, and I discovered another YTB'ER...Remiclog. check out her video about her Keepy Uppy cleaning method. It's not about what you do when. It's about how to work with your brain's distractibility instead of working against it. It's kind of similar to how Flylafy does her Weekly Home Blessing, or how That Awkward mom dies her Tidy tango ..but a little bit different, and and unique to anything I've heard before.
It's called 'inside shoes.' Just have a pair of shoes you only wear inside your house. House stays clean and you can wear shoes. Outside shoes remain outside or on a shoe rack, and never touch the floor inside. It's not just feces, bacteria, etc. (which should be enough), it's also pesticides.
@@TodaywithTerriK Oh no, it wasn't a criticism at all of you or the way you explained it. It was more directed at those who wear outside shoes in. We step on some egregious stuff out there and it's generally easy and cheap to just keep a pair for the house only.
This! And to make changing ftom one to the ither quick and easy for when you need to get out the door fast, break the lace-ups rule and get good pairs of walking slip-ons. I have Skechers slip-on walking shoes, and I love them! No, I am mot a sponsor lol
I’m starting with this video. I have been a flylady fan but have never fully understood the plan . It has always confused me , too much for my brain to take in. I wish it was more simplified for the beginner because in theory it seems to be amazing. I have also followed the sidetracked home executives plan too. It was a little clearly explained . Worked great for my kids when they were teens at home. They could help out easily with that system by taking daily cards they could got into their day. I did the rest. 🎉 please continue to teach us fly babies! 😊
Thank you! Week 2 should be going live on Tuesday. I recommend joining the FB group and printing off the tracker OR use the FlyLady Plus app. It helps keep things straight. Let me know if I can help in any way!

You are so welcome. I 100% love the FlyLady and enjoy getting her emails but it gave me anxiety because I could not keep up with them all.

Good morning from Virginia
Good morning! I missed Marla's live...hubby called and I got sidetracked.
I’m starting with this video. I have been a flylady fan but have never fully understood the plan . It has always confused me , too much for my brain to take in.

Super happy I help break it down more. No plans to change anytime soon.
So glad you are here today, though I got a little confused by it being Day 1. I wasn’t awake enough yet.
I should have done a quick intro but I was trying to finish it late.⏰
I love your channel. I have recently discovered it. Started the Flylady too. ❤
Thank you! Week 2 should be going live on Tuesday. I recommend joining the FB group and printing off the tracker OR use the FlyLady Plus app. It helps keep things straight. Let me know if I can help in any way!
Hello. Like your videos. Thank you!
Glad you like them! Thanks.
Thank you ❤❤
You're welcome 😊. Is this your first time trying FlyLady?
@@TodaywithTerriK Yes..
Great video. I like Diane,s videos too
She makes it all seem so simple and she is just so cute.
Good morning From Batonrouge La.
Morning!
You’re the best! Thanks for doing this! ❤ I’m joining in. As you know, my routines are inconsistent. 🙈
You are the reason for this. I’m editing a clean with me for the Messy Buns now. Should be up tomorrow.
@@TodaywithTerriK 😘
❤
You can do this!
I can’t find the printable. I clicked the link and found the post but not the printable.
