You will find sticking to your routines will give structure to your day and be a comfort to you. I am sorry about your sister, but if worse comes to worst, remember that it's only stuff, and it won't get you into heaven. Stay safe 🤗

    Thank you for the motivation Diane. I am struggling with my sinuses today so even though I had made my bed and I had dealt with my husband's care needs I had dressed but had not had my usual morning shower. After watching part of your video today I got my self in the shower then did a 5 minute room rescue which consisted of putting the laundry away that I had just dumped on the ironing board and I decluttered an old swimsuit and threw away some packaging and labels off some new items. I feel better after taking my shower. Now I am dragging myself off to the supermarket as we are nearly out of bottled water. Thank you for saying if you are not up to 15 minutes decluttering do 5 or ten. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend with your family

    Dear Diane, you are such an encouraging woman and you really inspire others! I discovered through your channel and the flylady channel that the biggest problem that I have (and I believe this is nearly universal with women) is MY OWN NEGATIVE SELF-TALK! I never realized what was making me feel so defeated about cleaning, organizing and just general home management. I've been working since I was 17 and I always felt, as many women do, that I am judged by how good I am at my day job as well as how good I am at maintaining my home. However, the biggest critic of all was ME! I began to ask myself where this was coming from and I realized that most women are trying to be superwoman and it just doesn't work. It's like I had and still have (yes, I am still struggling to change this) this inner critic that comments on everything. It's sort of like this: "well, your friend, Betsy works full-time and she has three kids and a very orderly house!" or "Gee, Laura works full time and she doesn't feed her family takeout three days a week. She cooks for her family!" I constantly gave myself criticism, but not compliments for the things I DID! THANK YOU FOR BEING SO ENCOURAGING!

    I love seeing how much can get done during a 5 minute room rescue . I often use this method while cleaning up the kitchen in the evening. I set the oven timer and tell myself that I only have to work for 5 minutes. You are right, anyone can work for 5 minutes. Most nights this works, occasionally I have to add 5 more minutes but that is when I feel super motivated to sweep the floor and do a little extra cleaning. I watched the baby step videos a couple of years back and I am enjoying this updated version! Thanks Diane!

    When I was a teenager my Mom made me select my outfits for the week on Sunday evenings. This way I wasn’t scrabbling to find something clean. But we learned I dress based on my mood so I can’t pick out my clothes until the morning of. Never outgrew that!

    • @mamagg2444
      @mamagg2444 4 года назад +2

      I have that same issue. But it works to have a few outfits assembled and ready for a few days(or the week like your mom had). Then, in the morning, just pick one. I always have a few trusty standby that are comfy but put together, because most mornings, I can’t even make that much of a decision. If I can’t think, it is my automatic grab.

      I often find it impossible to get to church, too. On those days, I dress for church anyway, and go to RUclips to find some hymns to sing, plus a Sunday school lesson or some scriptures to listen to... I attend church in my home! The spirituL break is an amazing way to celebrate who you are, a child of God. Even if it's just an hour, it refreshes me! The whole week has a warmer flavor and brighter feel...

You made me realize I miss that. You always look so classy and beautiful and it is quite simple as you show us, if we just plan a bit and that's it! I went through some medical problems and cancer and I had kind of given up on looking pretty again. So thank you for reminding me what it feels like to be a woman!

One thing I wanted to introduce in my routines is the concept of "uniforms": clothes, accessories and jewelry that can be put together to create different looks and occasions. Your way does give me room to do that. Thank yo, you are my best FlyLady!

    Nice idea to recap in YT. I don't always catch you on Insta... Not a habit yet!
    I'm working on my hot spot -its a daily habit now.
    Setting out an OOTD for the next day just isn't working for me... Our weather is crazy right now.. 50°F one day, and 80°F the next. Argh! And planning the next day's activity is not really working either... Yet. Will I have the grandkids and be at home, or if not, can I go out and about?
    The other steps I'm just double-checking as I've done them before. The household binder is going to get a rework in a few weeks, after hubby gets moved out here -Yay! - and he can get worked into it (either by him participating, or by me accomodating another person's schedule... or both!).
    Room rescue would have to be the main bathroom... The grandkids use that one 😉. And I have a habit of decluttering now, so that's good, too!
    Yay! Refreshers are great, not just for starting new, but as a review to see how well were 'holding the pattern'!

      I did this a bunch too! Don't beat yourself up. Just keep going forward 🙂. 4 months is not long at all to change lifelong habits. I found the flylady system 18 years ago and had deeply imbedded all-or-nothing thinking (in other words, I was a tough nut to crack!). I slowly learned to give myself a break and plodded along imperfectly. Everything has come around slowly but surely! What helped me the MOST was to pick 1 task (ex. fold and put away 1 load of clean laundry) then set my timer on stopwatch mode and see how long it actually took me. This kept me on-task and it was fun to see that most tasks took far less time than I thought! It became kind of a fun game for me. I wrote down the time spent for various tasks. And now I set my timer for THAT amount of time when doing a given task. This has really helped me with decluttering 1 pile of paper, 1 drawer, 1 shelf etc.
