You do them on top, but only once your basic habits/ routines are automatic. If you do too much at once you probably won't. Stick with it. Wait until your routines are super established before starting zones.
I found you last year and I can't thank you enough. I am amazed what I get done in less than an hour a day. I have 4 zones and I declutter something each week in each zone. One cabinet one dresser drawer. I use to not do it because who wants to tear a whole dresser apart but one drawer I can handle that. Last month I opened all my kitchen cabinets and there was nothing to declutter. I stood there confused for a minute then I realized this system has done its job. Thanks again.
I know how you feel. When I first started watching Steph I shined my sink for a week the next week I added my bed and swipe and swish then before I knew it I had my zones set up and it works great for me. Her saying "Good enough is good enough." has helped me so much.
I've been watching your videos all day. So far my sink is shining and my dishes are done. Even did the stove top. Now I can rest knowing that tomorrow will hold more progress with no pressure!
So happy to see you’re back doing videos! I’ve missed your cheery encouragement and motivation. This weekend I’m doing prep (decluttering, figuring out zones, cleaning tasks I want to accomplish in my zones, inventory of freezers, fridges, pantry) and will start the routines on Monday. I have a tip that I have done for many years that I’d like to share with you: when you unload your dishwasher empty the bottom rack first so that when you unload the top rack the water that is inevitably always on coffee cups and “Tupperware” doesn’t drip onto the dishes that would’ve still been in the bottom rack! So excited to follow along with you on this journey! Many blessings to you and your family!
Thanks for the note about an unfinished load of laundry counting! Lol. Sounds silly, but that vicious cycle is why I gave up on FlyLady before. Finally starting to understand the underlying mindset behind the system and that is ESSENTIAL to actually sticking to it. Thanks for your videos! 😊
Your custom printable helped me soooo much! I'm 64 years old and I love filling in those bubbles. lol! You are so fortunate to get your home together while your kids are young. I didn't get it together until much later. But I'm doing well, now!
Steph, I just have to say that you are so very sweet. It is important to remind us to be kind to ourselves because we do all push ourselves to hard, judge ourselves to harshly, and do not give ourselves a break!
thank you so much, you have helped me break debilitating perfectionism. I’m a new, young mom and wife, and what has perpetuated me is getting dishes done after dinner. So many days it was just too overwhelming and I was exhausted. And I just couldn’t tick a check mark if they weren’t 100% complete. Last night, for the first time I set a timer and gave myself a check when it was done! NOT when the dishes were. It gave me enough motivation to actually restart the timer, and I was left with 3 dishes to do in the AM. I had so much less to do in the morning all because I allowed myself to stop when the timer did. And instead of marking that day an F for fail, I got a check for progress!
No fails here, you are doing your best everyday! Getting those dishes done at night makes a huge difference though eh? Keep going, I’m cheering you on ! 💕🙂🎉
Bless you secret slob. I wondered which book I should read first, if I should go thru my clutter first. This has helped me to stop making excuses and just get started. I hope you post videos for a while. ty
I just found you today and this was so helpful. I am going to try it. The only thing I’ve done with fly lady was keeping my sink clear of dishes this past week. Making my house look more orderly is my ‘22 goal🙏🏾
Thanks Steph, I’ve fallen off the wagon while you weren’t posting but I’ve got time today to start catching up so here goes! Shine sink first I think - I always wash up but the sink still looks a mess! Edit: Shined my sink, used vinegar on the hard water deposits so it’s much better 😀 Also changed and washed my sheets, hoovered everywhere and swished the bathroom. Steph you are really motivating!
I have been watching these videos for a while now, but had not started the routine. I had aposition in my company that I was on call 24/7, and it was crazy. I couldn't figure out when to eat or sleep, much less start this system. I asked to be put back on the floor as just a charge nurse, and thatvstarts next week. I have this week off, and have started today! I have my morning routine, hot spot, and zone cleaning completed. I downloaded the Flylady app, but I think I will print off your papers and use those instead. Thank you!
Ok I've been doing a modified version of the Flylady method. I have EDS so I cut out the timers because I have to work slow or I'll hurt myself. This has worked great so far and for the first time in 9.5 years my home is presentable. I'm thinking of making a mini version of zone(areas) cleaning for my kids to do their rooms and bathroom. I can't expect them to completely clean their room in one day if I'm not cleaning the whole house in one day either. I think this will be the key to them getting control over their rooms. I've got to sit down and do up daily routine, chores, and areas of their room (instead of zones). I'm a firm believer of "I don't live here by myself and I'm not going to clean it all by my self."
Hi Steph, I'm so thankful for all your tips. I've been watching your videos for a while, and you are helping me so much, and furthermore I went back to practicing my English (which I abandoned after becoming a mother, I also have 3 children and I'm from Brazil) listening and watching you. Thank you so much!
I am an on again and off again Flylady routine follower! Cannot tell you how many times I have restarted and stopped😉 I actually heard of Flylady through one of my stepdaughters! Being a widow now and living on my own I have no excuse for the way my apartment looks! Therefore, after watching your video I think I am going to give it a go again! New Year new start! Happy New Years!!
Hey Steph, I Love your motivation videos. Because of you, I understand how Fly Lady system works and up to this I could improve my english skills. I have 3 kids, two of them are twins. I'm from Germany and learned English in school, 19 years ago😂 A happy new year to you and your sweet family! Olga
Getting off the computer to go strip the bed, wash and dry the sheets then make it back up! Getting clothes ready for tomorrow then dishes and shine the sink; time to get back on that wagon. Thanks Steph, Happy New Year!
I just found your channel thank you so much! Your cheery and I love that your videos are all real life. I have two little boys stay at home Mom and then I work 4-12 four days a week. So I need to maximize my time.
I just found this channel recently and absolutely love it. I've never heard of FlyLady cleaning, but I definitely needed a cleaning routine. I have 4 days to work with because I work 3 full days. I'm going to start working on this. The information is great and the videos are entertaining. Thanks!
Great reminder to restart my routines after the holidays, thanks! Excited to set up my checklist again 😁 been doing my daily activities but haven't been doing zone cleaning for a while... Definitely time to get back to that again!
After dabbling in watching you and Diane the last couple months, I decided to borrow Sink Reflections from my library. Uhhh….I think I might stick to watching you guys.
Run dishwasher immediately after dinner and empty before you go to bed and then load any after dinner snacks or drink dishes. No filling the sink with dirty dishes at breakfast, dishwasher is ready for all dirty dishes as used in the AM, they go directly into the dishwasher and you don't have to start the day with emptying it. Game changer, I will even just use a Quick Wash cycle if I got delayed and it gets to be 7 pm or so after dinner to make sure it is done before I go to bed - Clean sink and day is done.
You always inspire me to clean something. I hope your back is feeling better and you are enjoying this first holiday season in your new home. Blessings to you and your family.
Thank you 🙌 I haven't spring cleaned in 3 years 😩 I feel like this will help me catch up and be a permanent fix. I homeschool and am extremely involved in our church plus I host a weekly co-op and we homestead in which I mostly run 🤣 needless to say I need help and motivation, lol. Thanks again for the printables!
Dare you to set a fifteen minute timer and do your morning routine. Then stop and come back to let us know you started without fixating on progress/finishing.
Hi Steph, I love this system especially ticking everything off as I go along. I noticed you don’t put your sink plugs and dishcloths in the dishwasher. I’ve started to do that, one less thing to clean myself 😉👍xx
Thank you So very much for this video - it is New Year’s Day and I a watching this as I get up and have my tea. I need to make this to my routine and finally get on top of things here. All the best to you and your family for 2022!! 🥰
Very helpful! Videos like this that breaks the whole system down into small, doable sections are life savers for me. I struggle with sticking to the FlyLady system just because there's SO MUCH to it, it feels overwhelming.
I'm 71 years old and I have arthritis,fibromyalgia and asthma.Its hard for me to do housework.So I will do a little every day.Yeaterday I swept and mpoed the kitchen and 2 bathroom floors and cleaned half the bathrooms.Today I swept and mopped the living and dining rooms.I can only do a little at a time.My husband helps with dishes and vacuuming the 2 bedrooms.
I have fallen off the wagon with my zone cleaning. Thanks for the inspiration. I am a homeschooling mother of 7 children, ages 10 to 6 months, so if I dont totally stay on top of things 100 percent of the time my house falls into total chaos almost overnight.
I really feel like the timer will be a big help to focus my attention for the short bursts of time. Although my children interrupt me 1,000 times a day. Lol
I'm gonna save this! I've been so sick with hypermesis I haven't been able to clean for over a month. I'm still sick it'll be 2 to 6 weeks before it slows down and I'm better but it's going to be crazy getting a routine when I'm better
Great idea and timing for a fly lady basics Steph! Starting a new year with thoughts of organization and cleaning galore! Have a happy healthy and amazing new year to you and yours! 💜🎉
Can you show us how to fill in the other boxes on your schedule please? Zone cleaning in particular. For example, the flylady is focusing on living room this week in zone 5. Would you work through the zone list for living room only? Or still try to do all the family zones? Thanks for the video. I'm new to your channel.
Thank you so much for your videos! I’ve binged nearly all of them over the last week and implemented the baby steps and any regular fly lady routines I felt up for that day, and honestly, my house looks so much better already!
Thank you for this. Great tips. I'm so glad that you're back on RUclips. I missed you. You're such a motivating person. Happy New Year to you & your family. x
Love your videos!! I’ve been following you and FlyLady for a while now ❤️ Question about hot spots - I’ve noticed that as I am cleaning one hot spot and I have miscellaneous things I don’t know what to do with, I end up just putting it on a different hotspot somewhere in the house! any ideas on how to prevent this? I used to have a junk drawer, but I recently eliminated this, which is probably the main cause of this issue.
I use a hotspot basket where I toss the miscellanea. I don’t chat on the phone often, but when I do, I use my earbuds so my hands are free, and I usually get all those basket items put away during a quick phone chat. Maybe something like that can help you?
Find a home for those things or think if they're things you really need. I don't think a "junk" drawer is a bad thing as long as it doesn't become a catch-all. My junk drawer has 3 small bins in it to keep like things together; batteries, pens, misc little things we need, etc.
If you're moving things to another hot spot, does that mean those things don't have a home? Or that they do have a home but it's full of other things? Dana at A Slob Comes Clean talks about that.
Adding to the discussion on stuff missing a home: The stuff may not have a home or that home may be too far away from where you are actually using the stuff. So also consider where you use it.
Happy New Year Steph & to our whole community! Great timing for a sale for your printables - I'm going to buy a couple copies of your "21 Days" to give as late Christmas gifts, & another one so I can print up a nice copy for a book exchange. :-D
Also, I think fast mode makes it seem like she's working even harder. 😆 It really isn't bad as long as you remember to do all the things. Lists are a must!
Hey Steph I have a question. So I fell off the wagon. We moved a year ago and I lost my way. I need to get back because this is life changing. So I know fly lady says you start with shine your sink and then you add from there. Can I just jump in like this instead? I don't want to start over, just jump back on. It's probably a dumb question but I tend to over think
@@ImLunaShesZeta when I first heard about fly lady I saw the baby steps and thought it was dumb, I needed my house cleaned NOW. I now understand the importance of them and the mindset shift and habit stacking. However now that I get it, I just don't feel like I really need to start at the first step. And yes some people just don't do good going slow. I have fibromyalgia and when I started a few years back I went even slower than fly lady but I also didn't do all the stuff she talks about. My spoons are limited so some of her stuff didn't make the cut. Still made a world of difference.
🥳THIS WEEK ONLY!! All printables on SALE 25 - 40% off until January 4th! Start the year off with a plan and a system 🎉🎉🎉 www.thesecretslob.com
Can you go over the daily missions in the zones . Is this done on top of the list of cleaning to do list
Steph, when will your printables be available again? Or where can I find them? Your web site seems to be out of commission. Thank you in advance! 🙏
You do them on top, but only once your basic habits/ routines are automatic. If you do too much at once you probably won't. Stick with it. Wait until your routines are super established before starting zones.

Last month I opened all my kitchen cabinets and there was nothing to declutter. I stood there confused for a minute then I realized this system has done its job. Thanks again.
I'm so overwhelmed, I just feel like where do I start. I think I should declutter a drawer a week from different zones. What a good idea.

Wow!!! There is hope for me!
Plz, plz give us a house tour, update us as to what you've done so far, and how things are working, and future plans! I'm so curious (AKA nosy. Lol)
I've been watching your videos all day. So far my sink is shining and my dishes are done. Even did the stove top. Now I can rest knowing that tomorrow will hold more progress with no pressure!
Well done!!
Nanny Pat...Just letting U know, U have done a GOOD start!!! I’m right there with U!!! Hopeful this works!!!
So happy to see you’re back doing videos! I’ve missed your cheery encouragement and motivation. This weekend I’m doing prep (decluttering, figuring out zones, cleaning tasks I want to accomplish in my zones, inventory of freezers, fridges, pantry) and will start the routines on Monday.

Haha! I had no idea you did the secret slob Laura. Looking forward to comparing notes!
Sorry, wrong Laura Harris!!

I’ve been making my bed and doing a load of dishes and laundry each day. Very helpful. Hoping to start an even better routine in 2022.
That’s excellent!!

Love you Stef - especially the gentle way you always encourage your followers - so kind … 😊
I’ve been decluttering and cleaning! I do my morning and evening routines, too. My house is looking so much better. Thank you!!!
I love the weekly checklist printable! I feel much less stress because I know my plan each day.
Thank you for this. I printed many of your checklists-thank you for those generous freebies!

You got this! Her system really works and is so flexible and guilt free. Keep up the good work ❤️
Wow! Girl, you are a rock star!
Ugh i love this because I wasn’t finding a way to do this system all throughout the day, thanks so much for this video guide
Good to see you Steph! Thank-you for the refresher! This makes me feel more motivated for the new year!
As a Fly baby since 2004, I can tell you this will make your life so much easier! It works!
Decided to start this to hopefully get my depression mess under control.
I love your weekly cleaning printable. I've been using it for about 2 weeks, and just love the layout and everything. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this whole day video! I was finding it difficult and doing way too much. I am really glad I watched this!
Printed this out this morning and I’m going to do my best to get my house in order! Thank you 😊
I am so glad you are back! I will have a Flylady-New-Start in Zone 1. It starts tomorrow after work
this was a great motivational video to just get started and back into the routine
I love your videos! Thanks so much for the checklist! I like how your house just looks normal and not perfect like so many RUclipsrs:)
THANK YOU FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT!
I've been waiting for this video for months!! I would love for you to restart the weekly planning sessions. Happy New Year!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Great to see your smiling face and level headed advice. Wishing you and your whole family a wonderful safe 2022 Steph 💐💐🙋♀️
Fabulous Video, so happy I discovered you this week x
Wauw! You are back …. I am so glad …. I love your videos so much, it is such an inspiration….
I’m so happy your back in action! Love watching your videos! Even if I haven’t started yet they still are motivating me 😜
Dare you to set a fifteen minute timer and do your morning routine. Then stop and come back to let us know you started without fixating on progress/finishing.
Lovely to see you back .Great video.I missed all your good advice .Happy New Year from Galway Ireland.
Thank you Steph. This was so helpful.
Hi Steph, I love this system especially ticking everything off as I go along. I noticed you don’t put your sink plugs and dishcloths in the dishwasher. I’ve started to do that, one less thing to clean myself 😉👍xx
Thank you So very much for this video - it is New Year’s Day and I a watching this as I get up and have my tea. I need to make this to my routine and finally get on top of things here. All the best to you and your family for 2022!! 🥰
You are SO motivating and helpful! Thank you so much 🥰!
Thanks Steph! I needed a refresher. XXOO ❤️
I love how you and your husband have your own blanket
Thank you!!! Me too, it’s a game changer!!!
Thanks Steph for the motivation to make my new year a cleaner and organised one.
Very helpful! Videos like this that breaks the whole system down into small, doable sections are life savers for me. I struggle with sticking to the FlyLady system just because there's SO MUCH to it, it feels overwhelming.
It can feel that way I agree!

Happy New Year!
It is always nice to see you thank you and thank you for the printables.
Definitely time to start again for the new year! Thanks Steph! Happy New Year!!🎊🎆
I really feel like the timer will be a big help to focus my attention for the short bursts of time. Although my children interrupt me 1,000 times a day. Lol
You are so awesome. Love your cheery disposition and your easy to follow cleaning tips. Have a HaPpY New Year
I'm gonna save this! I've been so sick with hypermesis I haven't been able to clean for over a month. I'm still sick it'll be 2 to 6 weeks before it slows down and I'm better but it's going to be crazy getting a routine when I'm better
Did you read my mind? I recently moved house and now have more area to clean so this is perfect timing.
It is so good to see you!
Great idea and timing for a fly lady basics Steph! Starting a new year with thoughts of organization and cleaning galore! Have a happy healthy and amazing new year to you and yours! 💜🎉
Just the motivation I need. Thank you once again.
Thank you for this recap! I needed this motivation.
I definitely have fallen off that band wagon and I've been looking forward to getting back in the swing of things. Thank you!
So nice to see you again!
The ad for your video is for 600:30 😂 I’m so tempted to just let it play so you can get a really good check!
Oh no 🤦🏼♀️ lol
Great run down. Thanks from Australia!
Can you show us how to fill in the other boxes on your schedule please? Zone cleaning in particular. For example, the flylady is focusing on living room this week in zone 5. Would you work through the zone list for living room only? Or still try to do all the family zones? Thanks for the video. I'm new to your channel.

This was a great break down of the Fly Lady system!!! Thanks so much.
LOVE!! Your printable, thank you SO MUCH💗💗‼️👍🏻💐
Hi, Steph! Great video, thanks!
Thank you for this. Great tips.
I'm so glad that you're back on RUclips. I missed you. You're such a motivating person.
Happy New Year to you & your family. x
Hi Steph, great video. Just curious, have you seen any bears on your property since moving in? 🐻
Just a few that first week and then none!
The best video I’ve seen of yours! Thanks
Hi Steph glad you are back Happy New Year to you and your family love from Eugenie your friend xxx ps I do the Fly Lady system its great
Super helpful video! I started right away! Thanks so much for the inspiration and guidance. Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year!!
Thank you so much!! absolutely loved this one.
Thank you for this video! Exactly what I needed!
Love your videos!! I’ve been following you and FlyLady for a while now ❤️

Happy New Year Steph & to our whole community! Great timing for a sale for your printables - I'm going to buy a couple copies of your "21 Days" to give as late Christmas gifts, & another one so I can print up a nice copy for a book exchange. :-D
Aw Kim you are so so sweet 😀 Happy New Year!
I needed this very badly.
Jumping back on the fly lady wagon 🤗
Love this ❤️
I saw that you use two separate blankets for you and your hubby? My husband and I are always pulling back and forth 🤪
Yes!! It’s a game changer 👍🥳
I am exhausted just watching you do all these! It is inspiring though.
Spread out over the whole day it’s not too bad, and a LOT better than letting it pile up lol
Also, I think fast mode makes it seem like she's working even harder. 😆
It really isn't bad as long as you remember to do all the things. Lists are a must!
The two big dogs and 4 cats I have to vacuum once a day, twice during shedding season.
Hey Steph I have a question. So I fell off the wagon. We moved a year ago and I lost my way. I need to get back because this is life changing. So I know fly lady says you start with shine your sink and then you add from there. Can I just jump in like this instead? I don't want to start over, just jump back on. It's probably a dumb question but I tend to over think
Definitely jump in like this!
Right, I feel like tiny baby steps don't motivate me. So I do medium jump ins. 😅
@@ImLunaShesZeta when I first heard about fly lady I saw the baby steps and thought it was dumb, I needed my house cleaned NOW. I now understand the importance of them and the mindset shift and habit stacking. However now that I get it, I just don't feel like I really need to start at the first step. And yes some people just don't do good going slow. I have fibromyalgia and when I started a few years back I went even slower than fly lady but I also didn't do all the stuff she talks about. My spoons are limited so some of her stuff didn't make the cut. Still made a world of difference.
Very motivating!! See ya soon.
