    No matter which cleaning team you choose, it is never perfect. While the FlyLady continues to be my foundation, I have included little parts of many others (and my own ideas) to work BETTER for ME. Comment below how you have altered or changed things that has helped you stick to it.
    If you watched to the end, you saw the little secret project that I have been working on for months. God put this on my heart almost 2 years ago and fear held me back. With all of the struggles I have been going through, He has shown me that I need to just trust in His plan and do the things he puts in my path. I never ever want you to feel that I am pushing products on you! I seriously love certain things and get excited about them and this is an opportunity for me to mesh my two passions into one product that I will use to keep me organized and may help you as well.
    I turn down a LOT of product sponsorships and collaborations because I never want to push products that I am not 100% in love with and would be a blessing to you. I list things in the description that I use regularly so that if you want to give them a try it is easy breezy. Yes, some of them are affiliate links but they add no cost to you and don't even cover 1% of the expenses I pay to create these videos.
    I do this as a passion project. My one and only mission is to help "hot mess moms" like me find peace in their homes with simple routines. I have big dreams to help in other ways but they are REALLY big and we are just a baby channel. I have shared my desire to go to the homes of people who cannot clean (elderly or injured) and just be a blessing to them at no cost. This is just one small piece of the bigger picture that my husband and I have to serve. How are you helping and do you have any ideas on ways I can help even more? Growing this channel is part of that mission for me and I continually pay for classes to level things up and grow as a creator so that the mission is not held back by lack of knowledge!

    I sobagree with you. TOMM was my foundation, I also picked up tips from others. My favorite tip from Fly Lady is to get fully dressed during my morning routine. It doesn't matter that Im home all the time. It doesn't matter if I'm having company or not. There's something about getting dressed that makes a difference in how I feel about getting things done.

    • @TodaywithTerriK
      @TodaywithTerriK  7 месяцев назад +1

      Absolutely. I’m so much less productive when I don’t get fully dressed. I love that you’ve merged things.

      Hey Terri! Thank you for being such a bug in my digital ear lol. I actually did my first Weekly Home Blessing, combining TOMM'S 30 minute rotating Focus with 30 minutes worth of general weekly cleaning to give me a head start on my Tomm weekly Zone Cleaning, and Ohmygoodness! In one hour, (give or take maybe 10 minutes), the difference is amazing! I did exactly what I want to get done during my WHB, and each task got done either on or before the timer went off for each task. I am not stressed out, and it was not hard on me physically. I have the stamina to get all of today's laundry done (I have 2 laundry days), and then do some fun cooking and sewing! I usually don't have the physical or mental energy to do all of those things in one day. The Lady Plus app along with the other productivity tools I use, plus the WHB just put everything together in my head. For the first time since I started my de-cluttering journey 2 years ago, I finally know my strategy, and it does not feel overwhelming anymore...at all. I am now excited about what I have going for the rest of my week! Now, if I could figure out how to get the vacuuming done without scaring the dog so much that she pees! Poor thing peed on her bed 😂❤. I try to keep it only to 20 minutes or less on vacuuming days, and spread the days out. But she still hides. This was the first time she ever peed, poor baby lol.

      Correction on laundry: I do laundry every day because I use a seperate bunch of v towels and rags for messes that are typically cleaned up b with paper towels. We are a no- paper towels, all re-usable cleaning supplies household. So, cleaning towels and rags are x daily. The rest of the c laundry is mostly done 2 days out 9f the week.

    The most important thing you shared is to Be Grateful! It's easy to watch videos /social media and covet what others have but that only steals our Joy. What a beautiful prayer you shared, Thank You!

    • @TodaywithTerriK
      @TodaywithTerriK  10 месяцев назад +2

      I am really working on my own perspective and trying to enjoy my home and family instead of finding faults or wishing for tomorrow. Seems like we do dream of something else and forget that this was an answered prayer that we should love.

    @lee35777 10 месяцев назад +4

    It took awhile, but I finally found a mix of FlyLady, Clean Mama and TOMM that works for me, with a bit of Dana K White thrown in as well. It's wonderful to have everything on track in a way that works for me. All of these points are crucial to making an individualized system that works. If you're still trying to find your system, don't give up. Keep experimenting and adjusting. It's worth it!

    • @TodaywithTerriK

    • @lee35777
      @lee35777 10 месяцев назад +2

      For me, rotation is a key. My schedule doesn't allow me to have a given task for any given day save Garbage Eve and watering my three pitiful plants. I do what I can each day. The next day I'll do whatever is next on my rotating lists. This means nothing is ever ignored for very long - it will rotate to the top of the list eventually.

    Really love this video, so many good points. I've been doing my own version of FlyLady. We are on a small mini-farm. I do much more vacuuming and I got a stick vac which helps tremendously to keep the dirt level down. We are retired, just the two of us and I do laundry only 1 to 2 times a week. I also cook at least 2 meals a day, so lots of food prep ahead of time if possible. The kitchen is definitely an area that gets messy quickly. I kind of have a "Push Day" on Monday as well. I try to get most of my weekly home blessing done because I've found if I put off tasks that after Wednesday I'm more like to just say... Oh well, lets wait until Monday. LOL. The best part of the video was always to remember to be thankful for what we have, wherever we live, to be thankful for the people in our lives (yes who mess up our home). I loved how you suggest to pray over your home as you are cleaning it. Wonderful advice.

    • @TodaywithTerriK
      @TodaywithTerriK  10 месяцев назад +1

      You seem to be doing so well with a modified version. I feel like a stick vac will be my next big purchase. We put all spending on hold with starting a new business. God is using this season in the wilderness to really speak to us. I’m really happy that it’s coming through in the videos. Thank you for leaving such a touching comment.

    Hello my friend, I suffer from the same symptoms as you, which are hyperactivity. When I am on the keto diet, my condition improves greatly because I suffer from insulin resistance, which is a major cause of hyperactivity. Do you have any tips for dealing with this condition in cleaning, because when the condition occurs, I cannot sit or stop cleaning

    • @TodaywithTerriK
      @TodaywithTerriK  10 месяцев назад +2

      I have had to start setting timers and sticking to it. My hyperfocus never bothered my kids but my new husband gets really offended by it. We also try to eat keto/low carb but I cannot tell that it really helps me. I make lists and set timers so that I stick to my plan as much as possible. When no one is home, I let my hyperfocus go wild and set alarms so I know when I need to come back to reality. The hyperfocus really helps me with editing and filming (creative things).

    @sherryseher7736 8 месяцев назад +1

    I am altering my approach to my zone cleaning. As I am already cleaning in a room for the weekly cleaning, I add a 5-10 minute of one kind of a task that would normally be a part of a Zone list . For instance, if it’s dusting day in a section of rooms ( my version of a Zone, combining Clean Mama and the Organized Mum methods) I do a special brief dusting job, such as dusting door and window frames and doors. If it’s kitchen cleaning day ( I reserve a specific day just for the kitchen ) , I’ll clean out one drawer . If it’s vacuuming day, I may do baseboards or move a few pieces of small furniture and vacuum behind them. Just short one or two Zone type rotating tasks added to the weekly task
    while in any room.
    For larger Zone tasks, I reserve Fridays or Saturdays for those, such as cleaning out the freezer or the oven or washing down all of the kitchen cabinet doors or tops of cabinets ( with hubby’s help) or decluttering a closet.
    Depending upon my energy , I may only do two or three of these little tasks throughout the week in various rooms, so mini Zone cleaning in different rooms in a week., plus one larger one on Friday or Saturday .
    I also loop my Zones. So instead of doing them by the monthly calendar, I work through them all ( I have 8 ) and then start again at number 1. Number 1 might also be where I first see the greatest need to clean initially . Within a Zone , and I cluster several rooms together to comprise a Zone, I always look for the greatest need task to be done first.
    In summary I :
    Cluster rooms into a Zone as I like to clean by task and type of cleaning tools needed for them instead of dragging out and putting away the the same tools for the weekly cleaning, whichI solit up over the week .
    Look for greatest need first
    Perform Mini Zone tasks as I go about my weekly cleaning
    Perform a larger, up to one hour, Zone task on a Friday or Saturday
    Loop through all of my house Zone areas and then start back at the beginning.
    I keep in mind that this replaces a huge one time Spring Cleaning, so it can go year round, except for December , which I reserve for Christmas associated tasks , and also do much less Zone cleaning over the Summer, when I am doing more gardening than Zone cleaning.

    • @sherryseher7736
      @sherryseher7736 8 месяцев назад

      Thank you, Terri ! I have watched you and other people provide various cleaning systems, such as Flylady’, Clean Mama, TOOM, etc. As they all suggest , for a system to work for you, it has to be modified to fit your energy, your preference of cleaning styles, the size of your house, and your current chapter in life .
      I neglected to mention that within an 8 week Zone rotation, I do repeat both the Kitchen and the Bathroom Zones , because those areas have tasks that need to be repeated more than once every 8 weeks, like shower scrubbing, for instance. The 8 week rotation then actually takes 10 weeks . So kitchen and bathroom zones are done monthly, rather than on an 8 week rotation basis .That still provides multiple times in a year when all of the house areas are being addressed instead of the one time humongous Spring Cleaning event ! I also have daily morning and evening routines. All are not done perfectly every time. Life, illness and unexpected events happen, but I eventually dig back in to daily routines first , then add back in weekly tasks and throw in some Zone tasks in a relaxed, non regimented time schedule. I am 78, retired, with a 2 bedroom house, and so I have to approach cleaning in a relaxed, yet responsible fashion, as I no longer have the energy of my younger years .
