- I "an eye rolling skeptic" whose attitude was often not so great, completed FlyLady's baby steps, and I was shocked by the results! If you have been keeping up with me and my 31 days of FlyLady Baby Steps, then you may remember ALL these spaces I decluttered! These are my shocking results! In 15 minutes a day of decluttering (for 21 days) my house has changed! I still have a ways to go, and have had a lot of recommendations for other cleaning programs....do I change it up and try something else? Or stick with the FlyLady's baby steps and system!
Do you love these shocking before and after results of me completing FlyLady's baby steps? I for one loved the decluttering and organizing that was completed during the FlyLady process! So what do you think, does FlyLady work? Tell me below what you think!
Here is a link to FlyLadys baby steps that I followed:

Thank you everyone for watching today! I wanted to be on the live chat, but ended up being in the car driving!!!! 🤦🏼♀️ Spending some time at Chucky Cheese this afternoon with my mom and kiddo! Thank you for watching! And I hope you enjoy the before and Afters!!!!
Wow! Before and after pics.... but look at your kitchen! That sink SHINES
It really does! Doesn't it!!!! Thank you so much for watching!!! ❤️💕
Wow that’s amazing!! Love seeing the before and afters. Thank you for sharing!!! ❤
Thank you for watching!!!
Honestly I think flylady "system" is really something that isn't just about cleaning. It's about the whole. Taking care of your home as well as yourself and planning. So I think you can stick with flylady even as you add other cleaning systems or implement parts for them since the flylady "system" is completely customizable. You don't have to do the 31 Babysteps and you don't have to do them in order. I would say that there are probably about 3-4 baby steps (habits) that are a must to start off with. Like the keeping your kitchen sink clean (dishes), and some other key habits. For example I don't do the same 7 tasks that the flylady does on her weekly home blessing. I chose 7 tasks that I wanted completed and I work those instead. I don't have magazines so I instead declutter paperwork. Another woman said she doesn't like dressing to shoes and she instead dresses to socks.
What a great way to sum up the FlyLady system! I thing this way of describing it is super helpful when I get discouraged! That I don't have to do it all "FlyLady's way" customize it to what I like! Thank you!!!
Great start! The truth of the clutter is that you will need to declutter 15 minutes a day forever. Make peace with it and flex those declutter muscles. I've been at it for quite a while and am finally starting to get it all out or organized. Now my decluttering is visiting spaces mostly to clean for sure and finding it easier to have things leave the house that I haven't used. It feels like I can breathe.
I can understand that! Things come in everyday right?! So it has to go somewhere! I am excited to work on the areas I did not get to in the 31 days!
So true it takes decluttering always to maintain.
Wow! I am really impressed. I need to start doing this system.
Don't be impatient. Give Fly Lady like 3 years and you will get the house that you want. You need to do a NO SPEND FOR A MONTH CHALLENGE.
You cannot be decluttering and still buying.
I want you to revisit your first video. Quite a big attitude change from Day 1 to Day 32.
I just completed my Weekly Home Blessing. This resets my house for the week.
I think the game changer is to get up before the other members of your household and empty the dishwasher and put away everything and have the sink and dishwasher ready to receive stuff.
Go to Diane in Denmark now or Fly lady Kat. Both are excellent.
Well done, dear fellow flybaby! And you look so happy, you have every reason to be proud of yourself!
Thank you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
This next phase will make you feel like the beginning of the babysteps. But if you just follow the routine that they lay out - after the first rotation, you'll look back and be surprised out how much is done. Each zone rotation gets easier and easier and cleaner and cleaner! And before you start to panic in August and September about not doing any deep cleaning - it'll be time for the fall cleaning, and there's a list and a schedule for it!! It'll make you VERY happy :)
I 100% understand what you mean by feeling like I am back at the beginning of the baby steps! I am liking the sound of it getting even easier and easier as I go! Thank you for sharing this!!!! ❤️
Can i also recommend Dana K White? She's the decluttering queen! You can still stick with flylady, but if your're overwhelmed on how to approach decluttering she has the answers! Even if you're not overwhelmed she helps to streamline the process! She also has a book called "Decluttering at the Speed of Life". You will NOT regret checking her out! There are two videos that are a must watch! The first one is "My only two decluttering questions" and the other video is "Container concept".
I could be wrong -but I do not think anyone has recommended Dana to me! I will check it out! I do love FAST results and at the "speed of life" sounds promising! I will watching these this week! Thank you for the recommendation!!❤️
I combine Dana K White with FlyLady. Both are not so much about cleaning but about living comfortably in your home.
“You can not clean clutter” -FlyLady
Well done! I started the Fly Lady system at the beginning of June, but with the app. To be honest I’m not following the baby steps, but I’m getting there with the routines! Declutering is the biggest challenge for me.
I do have the app now! And, I really like it - SO easy to use! I think the one thing I learned from this experience, is just do your best. Declutter a space for 15 minutes - weather you decide to get rid of 1 item, or 10 it is still progress! I picked the space that I knew would be easiest first (my front coat closet) I started at the end of spring which for MN weather meant it was "kind of" safe to get rid of winter coats (move to a new home for summer), and purses that I forgot I owned! Then I moved to my closet - again season change made it easy to get rid of clothes I did not wear all winter! These spaces gave me momentum to really LOVE seeing the pile grow! Spaces that were hard (emotionally) took me more then a few days to do! You got this!
One of my viewers said taking a shoe box and filling it is a great way to start too! Keep me posted on how it is going for you! I am cheering you on!
@@ADomesticWannabe Yes I have to remind myself progress over perfection! I’m doing ok, some days I do good, others not so much. What slows me as well is that there are some clothes I want to put through consignment bit in my town there are on’y specific dates you can go. My appointment will be in September for Fall clothes. So in the meantime it’s still in my house. But the decisions have been made to get rid of those. ☺️
There's an app!?!!!!?!? Thanks, going to check it out
Maybe you can show morning afternoon and evening routines. Separate of course so that there are more videos. Also daily focus. Continued decluttering. Then zone cleaning.
THANK YOU! This is such a great idea! I just wrote it down on my "ideas list." I am loving this program, and sharing my process of learning it so much! That the extra ideas of what you might like to watch is SUPER helpful! Thank you!
Congrats on reaching your 1K mark! Woohoo!
What a mountain of declutter! Fantastic!
I know you are frustrated with the lack of cleaning, but if you had split your focus between deep cleaning and on decluttering this past month, you'd only have half the declutter pile you do.
Where flylady is great is for people that are paralyzed by perfection/depression or those that overdo and burn out and quit. Like with exercise, often people jump in the deep end and go all out, only to injure themselves or quit cos the can't sustain the routine. It's the people that ease in and keep going and slowly add to what they expect from themselves that made sustainable changes. Sustainable changes are the ONLY ones that count.
I've never done a garage sale before , I'll be watching and learning.
Oh I love this perspective! That if my attention was split I might not have gotten rid of as much! That is such a great way of looking at it! Thank you for sharing that! And, thank you for noticing 1000!!!! What a super fun day to hit that milestone too! The day I share the results of the last 31 days!!!! I am so excited about it!
And, I have only done 1 garage sale before. And, I will be honest I swore I would NEVER do another one! But, I have SOO much stuff from my office clean out video, and a few kitchen cleanouts, and now this process, that it just made sense to give it another go. Then donate the rest! I am SO excited to see the before and afters of the garage at the end of summer!!! I think it will be EPIC!
Thank you for watching, and your supportive comments!!! ❤️❤️
You've accomplished so much already and you're going to have a great garage sale! Love the before and after. Celebrating your success, keep it up! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!!! I am hoping to get the chance to do this garage sale next week!!! Boy they are a lot of work to set up! 🤣
I’m amazed! Also we use the same hair gel. I’m very proud of you! Loved watching this series and the transformation.
Zone cleaning will help your dust and scum. Decluttering helps the cleaning part because there’s less to clean. Think of how fast the maids at a hotel are because there’s not much in the way of the cleaning and they have their check list.
That is a super good point! It is so much easier to get things cleaned when I am not moving a bunch of stuff around!
You need a roomba! Couldn’t control the crumbs and bunnies without one. Great start!
OH! I want one!!! We had a different brand Neeto, but he scared the dogs a bit too much. He is in the garage - maybe I need to dust him off and try him downstairs! (Why do I feel the need to refer to the vacuum as a he?)
Also the channel growth:') so happy for you😊
Thank you so much!!!! I am so excited that people are liking my content! 🥰🥰🥰
Yay! Rainbow 🌈 order 📚. You did declutter a lot! I think 15 minutes a day would stress me out. I’d do rather clean and organize, but I have gone through my stuff. I just have too much
You uncovered your secret super power, decluttering.
Haha! Yes, I think you are right! Decluttering just clicked for me in this journey! As far as it being harder for you, I totally get it! Before I started the baby steps I cleaned out my storage room. And there was two sections; my son's baby clothes, and my memorabilia section that I just did not have the energy to go through (and would not even try in my 15 minutes a day for this). I want to give myself time to look at everything, and not make it a rushed job!
I loved your idea of filling a shoe box with stuff! You shared that at the beginning of this, it is such a great way to start! I guess what my question is for you, is do you think the stuff your referencing is clutter? Because if you have gone through it, and you want it or need it, then I don't think it is clutter. But, maybe it needs a new home/space in your house? I think you should keep anything you want that means something to you - if you want it (for whatever reason), then I absolutely do not think it is clutter! (This might not be FlyLady advice....remember I did not get the emails)! 😉
I just had a lot of junk in the areas I worked on for this, so it seemed easier! **But if anyone reads this that is coming to my garage sale....its all top of the line junk! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ADomesticWannabe I wouldn’t say it’s clutter because I want it. I moved to a house that’s 1,000 ft smaller. Before we moved we put stuff that wasn’t important to have in the smaller house right away in a pod, this way we could pack in stages as we go. Though in moving day, it was still a full day of help needed.
After we moved into the house I realized that I didn’t want the pod to show up, the smaller amount was all we needed, but didn’t want to pay the storage fee, $200 a month so I had it dropped off. I planned on getting rid of at least 60%. I would say I got rid of 30%. There was more in there unexpectedly that I wanted to keep. Though every time we moved I go through everything and after we move, to donate stuff. So I’ll probably never be a minimalist but I do like trying.
I’m selling nice furniture right now to free up space and that gives me space for about 4 totes under the stairs.
We had a storage room in our original house, no such thing as basements in Oregon, all the rain. Also a little space in the garage but not much since we insist on parking our 2 cars in the 2 car garage.
So no basement or garage storage, that is for new homes in Oregon. To get storage or backyard space you have to buy older homes here.
Woo hoo! You did it. Can't wait to see how you continue and add in the weekly home blessing, the basic weekly plan and when you're ready.... zone cleaning.
I know right!!??! Thank you for your daily support though this! And, I am excited to see where this leads me! I know several people also recommended I check out some other methods - which I think would be fun to do since I still have some spaces that I did not declutter yet. Like do they offer the same kind of visual reduction in stuff?! I think I will have you all vote and help me decide!
And, I am sorry I missed chatting with you on the premier! I was driving, and was suppose to have time at my destination to watch and chat, but I did not account for Friday traffic in Minnesota which means, everyone going up North to their cabins combined with road construction so LOTS of traffic!
Yay! Congratulations! It looks wonderful!
Thank you so much!!!
AaaaHHH I BEEN WAITING TO SEE THAT PILE
Right!?!? I'm so happy with what is gone! Now to organize it for a garage sale! (I'm going to need more than 15 minutes a day for that part!!)
WHB will take care of most of those not done things you did an awesome job! I got inspires watching She builds her home She makes it fun and easy to understand I love this vid new subbie !
Thank you so much!!! I am so glad you are here with me on this journey!!! So glad to have you here!
You did great. Way to go
Thank you!!!
Yeah you made it!
I couldn't grasp it, just did fit my life. Looking forward to how you make it your own this coming week.
Your house looks large, rooms for dedicated activities. Have you done a home tour video?
Thank you.
Can you believe it!?! I don't know if I would have finished it if I didn't have several of you literally along for the ride with me every day!!! You have been so awesome through this experience! I have not done a home tour yet, but I will think about doing one! It would be fun!
I was intimidated by the WHB because of the speed. However, I was printing the lists off the FL website and saw the WHB was first meant to be one thing per day, not all in 1 hour. Interesting. Go as fast as you want. :-)
Several people have said this is how they like to do the WHB but I did not realize that is the way it was intended!!! There really is so much to learn! And, so many ways to make it work for each person! I love learning this stuff!
Have you gotten the Fly Lady app? Helps you keep track of everything and you can edit the the routines to suit you
YES! Oh my goodness! It is great isn't it! When I first tried to find it I could not (I have a droid) then when I started the baby steps at some point someone said it is on droid now! So I found it, BUT I decided I was not going to use it until I finished the baby steps using the website info ONLY! Just for content sake! But, oh boy, do I love it! Thank you for making sure I know about it! Everyone needs to see this! :)
wow! You definitely have enough for a garage sale!!!
Oh my goodness....there is SO much! I just need to find the time to finish set up! But I cant wait to see what I can get rid of!
