I would suggest the greatest thing (I know I’m weird) I just figured out. My washer has a timer. I thought it was for doing laundry when electricity is cheaper but NO ! I have been putting a load in at night and putting the timer on 8 hours and having it run while I’m asleep, an hour before I wake up so that way it doesn’t sit in the wash all night or day and as soon as I get up I put it in the dryer. It’s brilliant! Also I have been loading the dishwasher after dinner so I empty it before bed and I don’t have to do it in the morning.
This is awesome! All the planners and control journals I have found look like glorified scrap books! This is a good straight forward system, will work great for me!
Following Diane in Denmark and the Flylady system for quite awhile now. I use an old lined notebook for my zone lists. Yes, I rewrite my lists every 4 months, but this allows me to adjust as needed. The notebook has plenty of room for all my daily notes, including project notes, contacts for a project, etc etc. and doodles if needed. No times are noted, as I use the timer. Works great for me and I have spent no money.💜💜
I love love love your tables.
I turn on an overhead light nearest my laundry machines, it always reminds me I have laundry in the washer when I walk by -- even my husband will switch over the loads when he sees this because his natural thought is "We're wasting money having this light on."
I have a difficult time with a list ! But I love the fly lady weekly blessing
Wow. I like your binder and the planning pages you have to track your cleaning! I hope I can put something together that works for me.
Last January I read her CHAOS book and have incorporated her method ideas WITHOUT a written plan so I am not being very thorough. I have always shined my sink and made my bed daily, so that part was easy. I need to dedicate details of my zones in my planner. Thank you for sharing this. By the way, on your evening routine you have listed swish and swipe, but I think you meant shine your sink.
Excellent video. Great explanation of planning fly lady routines in personal rings. Many thanks.
Love the cleaning plans. Well done! I have a suggestion to tweak your routine a little for time efficiency. If it doesn't work for you no worries.
My suggestion is to put a load of laundry on before exercising the dog. The wash is being done while you both have fun. When you are both done with exercise get the laundry into the dryer.
If cute puppy can't wait for the laundry to be sorted then have the load sorted and in the washer ready to go. (Maybe add that to night time routine so it is ready.) Put in your favourite detergents, etc (don't let detergents or softener sit directly on clothing in case of damage to them). If you can schedule your machine to run in the afternoon at exercise time so much the better. If not, you'll only have to switch it on and walk out the door.
When you do the washing isn't my point. It's using the time efficiently and hooking it to a habit or routine you already do. 💕🦉🇦🇺
Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try!
PlansMeetPaper please let us know what you did. You may have come up with something different. Pleased to help. We all learn from each other. I've already learned a lot from just this video. 💕🦉🇦🇺
Narelle Works Great idea!
If he's been cooped up all day he probably needs to go, now! It wouldn't be fair to make him wait a minute longer. (and you may get sidetracked if you put the laundry in first)
Wanda White 😬😏
Freakin brilliant! Thanks for sharing. This is so helpful & I think it will lessens my anxiety. Thank you!!!!
I just started the Fly Lady program. This was super helpful. I haven't set up my control joirnal yet, but this made it really simple and clear.
I love this method. Been using it for 2 years from a lady on here but she has no pets or young kids. Glad to know you have a dog and possibly how you deal with dog hair etc.
Loved watching this video and love your control journal. You inspired some ideas for me, too, so thanks for that!
I feel the same way about cleaning which is why I've decided to try flylady! Glad I'm not alone...
Me two,😊
I reworked my zones, breaking them down further, and I really like it! I fly through my home each month.
Thank you for posting this video! We seem to have very similar schedules (also a full time job and a part-time business with a spouse and a pup) so seeing the way you break up your day was great! It also made the FlyLady system make A LOT more sense to me - I think seeing it drawn out instead of just hearing them talk about it.
What a great idea to put down the amount of time it takes to do all the individual things. I am only just setting up my control journal and will do that when I start zone cleaning.
I loved this! Thank you so much for sharing this. I have been doing FlyLady for years and I never could get the Control Journal exactly the way I wanted it and still keep it functional. This is such a great option for me because I love planning and have several different planners. Thank you so much for sharing this awesome idea! I am eager to create my own in my new planner!
Thank you for explaining how you organized to make this so workable. Can't wait to to get started - headed over to look at your forms!
Was looking for something like this. You have beautifully incorporated zone cleaning tracker in your binder.
Thank you so much for this video and your printable. I have set up my system this afternoon whilst watching your video again. I already had my tasks broken down into lists but didn't use them. Having the monthly boxes to check each job off when done will work much better I think. I have set my routines and zone information up in a Filofax A5 notebook, which I will keep in my kitchen.
Amy, I love this video. I have followed FlyLady for years and I have my routines down but I have struggled with keeping track of my zone cleaning. I have check off lists but found them to be a pain in the neck. After watching your video, I have written up my own zone trackers on my computer and printed them the correct size to keep in my Happy Planner. I will start using them in September. (I've decided to give myself the rest of the summer off from zone cleaning and start fresh in September 😊 ).
Thank you so much for this very easy to follow video. I don't use a Filofax but I will incorporate all your ideas into my Happy Planner. Sharyn
This is a wonderful plan! I love how you take good care of yourself and those important people in your life, while living in a clean organized home. Thanks...this is inspiring!
This is so good. I think I will be watching this over and over. I have tried to do the Flylady thing since she began. This is so visual and concrete that I think I could actually plan and do this out the way you have set it up in your planner. I feel that FL has such a great idea, but she is not able to really convey it to working women, or to women who need something more graphic. This is the answer!! Thank you!!
I would recommend checking out FlyLady Kat here on RUclips. She has a video that is 40 mins long and I think it's called How to Do the Flylady System for Newbies. She is very articulate and conveys the system very well. It helped me get started! She also does daily videos helping us to keep going with the system.
Thanks for sharing how you incorporated the Flylady System into your planner.
Excellent presentation. I very much appreciate this because I find the system confusing and haven't heard anyone present an overview like this before.
This is awesome!!!! I love me everything planner related and flylady related. 😍😍😍😍
Thanks Kristin! I really enjoy watching your videos too!
OMG. I loved this video. I cant wait to watch more of your videos.
Thank you for this video. I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how to do this in my planner for the zones. This was very helpful.
Great video. One of the best I've found to grasp the Fly Lady program without it seeming completely schizophrenic. And I have kids and work and don't find your planning unrealistic. ;)
Love this! I am revamping my Fly routines, zones, etc. since our first Homeschool year just started. I'm going to see how I can make this work in my new Happy Planner. Thanks for posting & look forward to more videos!
Wonderful video. I love fly lady. I bought her book Sink Reflections years ago and have read so many times that it's falling apart Lol. She is so encouraging and motivating. Really enjoyed your video 😊
Thank you for doing such a thorough video! We're moving in a few weeks and I'll definitely be using your method and inserts. Can't wait to watch the rest of the series!
What if you throw a load in before you take your dog out?? That way it washes while you play, and depending how long you play, you can throw the load in the dryer right when you come in! It might make a difference in your routine. Just an idea I had
it was nice to see how you set out the flylady steps on your planner.......
Great video! Thank you. It is also the first time I see someone explaining OCD exactly as it actually is. Well done. Thanks again.
Thanks for this video. I'm a new FlyBaby, on day 2. This was very helpful.
You got it! Keep it up!
I love your videos, you are so neat and organized.
I am glad i found your channel we are a large family of 8 and i need more tips on planning
I like how you are combining your schedule with fly lady system!!
I am new to both. Have you seen Lara Casey ‘s You Tube videos.
She has a system for planning that calls you to reflect on the end game. She says where do you want to be when your eighty. Really good to view. Planning is good but if we are not inline with our GOD called purposes we will regret how we spent our lives.
Great video. I am very new to the system. I just started reading the book today.
Ruth Butler Check our Diane in Denmark. She has a 30 day series. Excellent for baby steps.
I just tarted on babystep 1 yesterday. So this video is helpful!
Mommy of 2 for Life Diane in Denmark has a wonderful series to take you through the baby steps. Check out her channel.
Thank you
I m planning my bullet journal, very helpful.
So grateful
And I ve subscribed in your channel
Holy moly! You got here a timeless piece of video! Well done and beautiful framing let alone the sound and you voice is very clear.
That looks like pre-printed planner! Your hand writing is perfection!
I would be able to do this for half of the week and then say f#£§ it I’ll never get this done because I would totally write something wrong and that would ruin the whole page and let’s be honest, to keep the calendar that beautiful demands some heavy commitment (I’m type 1)
We use at work the Office 365 planner. It’s wonderful (it checks the spelling 😆), but it lacks the physical experience, but you can share it with the team if needed.
Btw, that color of the calendar is my favorite ❤️
P.S. it appears that you are perfectionist, just remember that the human errors separates us from machines.
Thanks so much for your thoughts and for watching! Office 365 is pretty awesome too! =)
Ok...I just now see the answer to my question that I posted on your latest video. I forgot, I viewed a portion of this vid a while ago.
Very inspiring! You're so organized!
There are some pretty good fly lady stickers too!!
I just purchased a few of your products. :)
Excited to get started!
Thanks for the wonderful inserts ❤️
Very good plan set up.thank you.
Please make the zone cleaning inserts available in half size! Love your video 😀
Hi Andrea,
When I post them in my etsy shop I will do them in both sizes for sure!
Thanks,
Amy
Oh my golly! Just happened upon you channel (this video being the first) and I am hooked and subscribing 💕.
Currently trying to figure out a blend of fly lady , Lara Casey’s system of life planning, Rachel Hansel’s master schedule. & Block scheduling. i Can you PLEASE
help by showing how the plan gets in the paper and then into action
I don't do flylady, but my task tracking system is very similar to yours! :)
I really love your agenda book. Can I ask where did you purchase it, I would really like to try that method your doing to see if it helps me in my routine as well. Thank you for sharing😊
Excellent video!!!!
Love the way you set up your planner. Great presentation and so well organized. I have a question? How do you get it to print on paper that size?
Thanks! My printables are set up to print on US Letter size paper and then be trimmed along the gray trim lines down to size =)
I love this!! I have the hardest time staying organized at home and work. Thank you for this video! New subbie here!
This is very motivating!
Amazing video -thanks for providing such detailed explanations of each part of your planner.
I was wondering, on your weekly spread do you intentionally limit yourself to 3 work tasks and 3 home tasks, or is that just how your ‘daily life’ tends to pan out?
Hello!
On my weekly planning page, I do limit myself because I am usually only writing the appointments, events, or major projects that I am working on that day. I then break these events or projects into smaller, more manageable to dos on my "daily" page. This helps me avoid overwhelm while still seeing the big picture. I hope that makes sense! =)
What are the names of the Etsy inserts you are using to list the tasks? Have looked at your shop on my phone but too small to see! Good to see how FlyLady is working for you 😊
Hi sanders2378,
I will probably get them up on my etsy shop within the next 2-3 weeks! I want to make sure the spacing and such is just right before I post them! Thanks for your interest!Amy
Hi sanders2378,

really good ideas in there
My apartment is so small that I only have 3 zones if I include the outside front of the apartment and the "backyard" in one zone...
where do you fit in other projects like painting a room, staining a deck, installing flooring when you do your own jobs?
Actually once you have the system down. You have plenty of time to do other things you would like to do and enjoy them. I am a full time business owner and mom of three and wife to an extremely busy business man and I still manage to have more than enough time to be with my family, have a successful business and take care of my self. Extremely productive 🙌 but balanced. It's not easy by any means but routines are the key to success in any area of your life.
Just found your ETSY shop!
Hi Amy, I stumbled across your channel and I love it! I love your stationary but was wondering whether or not you ship to the UK. Thank you.
Hello! So glad you enjoyed the video! All of my inserts are digital downloads so they are available worldwide. Just so you know though, they are designed to be printed on US Letter size paper- not sure what size paper is easily accessible in the UK! Thanks for watching =)
How i love your videos!!1 Thank you so much for sharing & keeping us inspired!! Any plans to go back to A5 size or are you happy with personal now? The struggle is real :)
Hi Colleen,
I am still really enjoying the personal size! Its just so convenient and light, I don't have any plans to move out of it for now! But, I am sure I will be back in an A5 at some point-- I do love having a lot of writing space too! Thanks for watching =)
Amy
PlansMeetPaper
@@plansmeetpaper3663 I was about to ask the same question because my beloved filofax is a A5, and I was hoping for inserts!
Hello @@pixxa37, thanks for watching! I do have inserts available in half letter size (fits well in A5 planner) in my shop as well! Let me know if you have any questions =)
How did you begin the fly lady systm?? How long have you been using the system?
Maybe I. Missed this what planner are you useing?.
I love this. My problem with Flylady plan is, as I was watching ...I think, ok, I have the daily routine plan down, but when would I do the planned dailys specific for that day? The monthlys?There isn't one minute left in the plan. What are your thoughts?
That is tricky! I would just try to utilize any little stolen minutes of time that you can. For instance, I end up doing my zone cleaning while cooking dinner a lot of the time... I will start water to boil or throw something in the oven and then quickly wash a window, check the water/ stove, then quickly wipe down the blinds, etc. If I utilize those little multitasking minutes I can usually get in at least ten minutes of zone cleaning a day which definitely counts over time! =) In my opinion the daily routine makes the biggest difference anyways though!
PlansMeetPaper you really wash a window while you're cooking??
Sure do... I'm big into multitasking! =) I do have to use a lot of short timers though so I don't loose track of time and burn something! I can usually get a window done in less than 2 minutes
This was really helpful. New subscriber.
Curious if you swish and swipe your bathroom 2x a day? Even if you are not home all day?
Great video
Same hear. I'm trying fly lady system
Thank you! 🌸 So inspiring! I will be checking out your Etsy shop for sure! In using your planner, do you take your it with you when you leave your house and use it throughout the day? Or just use it when you’re home? 🙂
I take my planner with me most places. Currently, I use my planner as a wallet as well, so I take it everywhere. Thanks for watching!
Love your inserts. I checked out your shop and love it too. Do you offer any inserts that are already printed?
Hi Jill,
Currently I do not offer any printed inserts. Sorry! Thanks for watching!
Amy

Phew, you plan your day to the nth degree! Where’s the “stop and have a cup of tea” time in all that micro time management?
Hello! This is just my plan for super busy days, I don't necessarily do every single one of these tasks every single day. I am always flexible with my schedule, this is just a place to start with =) I do love a good cup of tea!
3:00 I have the same feelings exactly....whats the point. Ugh so exhausting
Do you demonstrate in one of your videos how you cut your daily pages to snap in?
I don't think I have, I will have to show you in one of my upcoming videos! Basically, you just punch regular holes and then use a pair of scissors to slit from the edge of the page to the hole on each hole. I hope that makes sense! Thanks for watching!
Thank you. I couldn't tell if the cut is at an angle or straight across. I'm loving your videos and I just purchased 4 of your printables from Etsy. Setting up my Filofax right now. :-)
Straight across or an angle works. I usually use a little bit of an angle.
Thank you. Is this blank calendar in your shop? I don't think I saw it.
It is available, I will paste the link below! You can choose whether you want to print the goals, notes, and bill tracker on the back or just leave it blank on the back!
www.etsy.com/listing/466860519/printable-personal-month-on-two-pages?ref=shop_home_active_51
I am guessing that if I need more than 11 spaces on the zone cleaning tracker I can just flip the page and continue the list? No set rules for flylady right?
(Maybe it’s possible for me to make the zone cleaning tracker a “fold out”?)
No set rules! Definitly just flip the page and continue if you need to (or tape in a tip/fold out). I try to limit myself to around 11 tasks so I don't get overwhelmed but whatever clears your head- space is what you should do! =)
I like it!!
Yay this was what i was looking for. Do you have these inserts already set yo with your schedule?
The inserts don't come filled in with my schedule, I am a big believer customizing your routines and zones to make them work for your individual home and life so I sell them blank. Thanks for watching! =)
Great video! Ty! Wondering if the template habit tracker for zone cleaning is available anywhere? I’d love to use it, but can’t make templates to save my life
Hi Andi! Thanks for watching! Yes, all my planner inserts are available in my etsy shop. Here is the link you are interested:

Love!
I a m in Washington too.
Do you have this planner and sheets available in your Etsy store?
Hi Debra, The binder is a Filofax Saffiano in personal size. I do not sell binders in my shop but it is available on amazon or from Filofax's website. The pages are available in my etsy shop. Please let me know if you have any further questions, I am happy to help! Thanks for watching!
I loved this! #plannercommunity
Your plan looks quite achievable. I really need to get myself organized as I also work full time, longer office hours than you, and I'm fed up spending half the weekend doing chores when I'd rather be outdoors or doing crafts. I have a good idea of what needs done around the house, but without a plan lack the discipline to do it.
Don't be too hard on yourself! You got this! =)
I hear you .....
awesome!
I like this where can i get the same scadual
Hi Barbara,
The planner pages are available in my etsy shop. Here is the link if you are interested: www.etsy.com/shop/PlansMeetPaper
Thanks for watching!
Seems to me you've complicated a simple system. I'm following fly lady Diane in Denmark.
Diane in Denmark is awesome! =)
I don't understand how much your printables cost can you clear that up for me.
Hi Debra,
My individual insert printables typically cost $3.50. My insert packs vary depending on the number of inserts included, check out my etsy store to see prices for all my items! Thanks for your interest and for watching!
Thanks,
Amy
PlansMeetPaper
I have looked at your store and went all the way to check out bit didn't put in my info and it still didn't let me know the price
@@debratosch9898 That is strange! Do you have an etsy account? you should be able to see the prices and items regardless of whether you have an account or not though!
I went to your Etsy shop and purchase two files but the files were not recognized as PDFs so I could not download them. I contacted you through Esty. I hope you can assist and give me a different pdf file
Hi Kim, I just messaged you back on etsy. I will be happy to resend the PDF files to you and help you figure this out. Thanks for supporting my shop and for watching! Have a great day!
Thanks,
Amy

Thank you for your quick response and assistance!
How do you and your husband divide your tasks?
It has depended on our jobs and other responsibilities over the years. When we were both working regular full time jobs, we split the home tasks based on preference. For instance, I don't mind vacuuming and dusting but I hate doing dishes and vice versa for my husband so we did the tasks we each liked more. My husband currently works a ton of hours and I stay home with our baby so I do most of the house work now but he still helps out when he is home or I need extra support... and he still does the dishes and dishwasher because he knows it is my least favorite task =)
Do you share your zone cleaning printables?? Please?
Hi Tina,
I will probably get them up on my etsy shop within the next 2-3 weeks! I want to make sure the spacing and such is just right before I post them! Thanks for your interest!Amy
Correction I apologize I know it’s a filo book was wondering the size of that particular planner
This is a personal size Filofax Saffiano in Aqua =) Thanks for watching!

Where are your dividers from?
Hi Lindsey,
I bought these tabs from the Martha Stewart collection at Staples. They were originally letter size and punched for a disc bound notebook, so, I just trimmed them down to personal and A5 size (I made the same dividers for both sizes)and repunched them. I made them about a year ago, so I'm not sure if they are still at Staples. =) They may even be on Amazon by now!
Thanks,
Amy
