Thank you so much for this. I have felt so overwhelmed by housework. Now, after 3 weeks of following your videos and the Flylady system, the house is much tidier and cleaner. I have now done three weekly home maintenance hours, so this week, inspired by Steph, I did a Mini Maintenance! 5 mins on 4 tasks, 20 minutes in total. This worked because the place was not in too much of a state thanks to the 3 previous weekly home maintenance hours as well as my version of the zone cleaning and decluttering. I have created 4 zones to clean most of the house. This week I start into my 4th zone and I'm already looking forward to getting back into the other zones again! I love using my timer or your 15 minute videos as motivation. I also bought a sparkly display book in Dealz to create my control journal. This has given me control and enjoyment rather than the overwhelming sense of inadequacy that I could not run my house. Sorry for the long message and thank you again.
Trying hard to stay on track, but depression and bad health last 10 years make it hard. I am however, every day making sure I do at least shine sink, swish and swipe, make bed and clothes to shoes. Some days clothes to shoes gets skipped, but at least I keep trying. You make it easier to keep trying, so thank you.
Just for you to know. I as well have great limitations. Cher lynn, I keep up the best I can. I feel good for pushing myself. God be with you.
I have a checklist for when visitors come over. Luckily no more panic cleaning, because everything is reset daily by managing my hotspots and swishing & swiping.🎉
List 1 (a few visitors)
Prepare snacks / drinks
Remove cat hair from seats last minute
Check supplies (paper/towels/soap) in bathroom
Pick flowers for decoration
Put clean garbage can in bathroom
Remove personal items (medicine etc)
Add nice scent (few drops etherical oil) inside toilet paper roll)
List 2 (many visitors)
Get out extra chairs
Get out extra dishes
Get 2nd table from the attic
Put our coats upstairs to make room
Excellent suggestions! I particularly like the "remove cat hair" one, as i never think to do this.
I also do my body care by zones. Because of children, my shower time is limited. Shave on Sunday...Elbows on Tuesday and Thursday, etc. Some days I am lucky if I get wet. 🙂 I laughed for joy when I found out that you do something similiar. I am in good company!
Go you, Kay! 👏😁
You are a great woman! Thank you for your time and your videos!😘😘😘 Every time if I don't want to do anything I watch your videos and they inspired me to move and to do something!!!
Me too! It must be contagious.
Jul Sh My mantra is: what would Diane do!?🙏🏻💕
Me too!
Thank you Diane for this video. It’s been 2 weeks since I’ve been doing FlyLady. I can’t remember how I lived before 😮 My Aunt and Uncle came to visit yesterday and I was so proud of my uncluttered clean home 🏡 and was ready for their visit without having to do any work or panic. I’m still working on my House Management binder and will add these great ideas. It’s getting dark here in Boston and I’ve gotten my electric candles out 🕯 and added my Fall tablecloth yesterday. Thank you for all you do. 💕🙏🏻
Woo hoo, that is great, Jenny - sending you a virtual pom pom salute! 🎉🎉🎉
I’m so happy I found you’re channel! I just recently found Flylady and her method makes sense to me. I’m 59 and have had depression most of my adult life. I’m having a bout of it at the moment and I’m working through it, so it’s very difficult to get motivated to do anything. You’re inspiring me to do at least something, even If it‘s minimal. You're so enthusiastic, I wish I had an ounce of your energy! (I can’t believe you’re 52!) Thanks!
Glad to have you with us, Michelle! 🎉
Set a timer for five or ten or fifteen minutes and just do what you can in that time. You will be surprised at how much you can accomplish and it will give you a little boost. I know about chronic depression, it is challenging for sure. This is a good place to visit and Diane is a great mentor!
@@DianeinDenmark Thank you Diane!
@@dianeyoung8068 Thanks Diane!
Today I will be adding directions for making my own natural cleaners to my binder. I have them in another notebook, but can see the value of adding them to my control journal. Happy Weekend to you!
That is a great idea!
What a wonderful idea!
Love your idea of pampering yourself by zones, this will force me to do little extras I never do, facemask, nails etc... Love your jacket. Thank you again for inspiring us always, have a great weekend! 💐
Loove your soft "Chanel" jacket. I'm a cardigan and jumper gal but sometimes a structured look is nice. However, jackets are not me. So, your jacket is perfect. I'm going to keep it mind for the next charity shop browse! 😊
Thanks, Coty! This winter jacket IS actually from a charity shop 😄 (that's where I get most of my clothes, along with all the good stuff from our Clothes Swap parties! 🖐
Diane you always look great but you really look fantastic today, that look really suits you.
I love how you have set up your journal with the pages having broad text. I have made a control journal for when the decluttering has ended.
I adore the checklist section. I am going to write a moving checklist, as a renter.
I am adding my prescriptions and allergies to the "in case of emergency" checklist.
Thank you for doing these Control Journal videos! I was just thinking I wanted to do a restart and figure out how to get my children started on FlyLady routines and this was good motivation for me to clarify my own routines. We have been working on getting up on time, getting dressed and getting beds made this week. I think next week we will focus on evening routines. We probably did that backwards, but my husband wanted to build their "Make your bed" habit first. I think he listened to a podcast and got motivated or something. :D Also, I have been waking up early to work on a book I am writing and I scrounged up a bunch of candles to build in some hygge. It makes getting up early much easier when I can picture a mug of tea and some cozy candles waiting for me.
Can you please share a bit more on Your list of pamper ideas within the zones. Loving these videos
Had to nip out and post a birthday card! The card was bought and written in plenty of time I forgot it wouldn't fly there on its own. 😂
Shopping by zone 🤯. Self care by zone🤯. Brilliant!
I think I’ll plan projects by zone as I’m trying to update and do household repairs. This will be a game changer for time & money management!
Thank you for all of the ideas!
You are so very welcome, Niki!
The new snow tires are on the car! The garden shed is cleared out and the freebies we put out on the roadside are almost gone! Dinner will be simple steak and corn with a salad. I am resting from a flu shot yesterday until then. Nice to have the chores done and all in good order. I will run the car through the car wash tomorrow , too late today.I had a coffee and a biscuit and have my feet up! Fridays are now self pedi /mani days for me. I have a new polish color.
I have all of my bill paying information in a section of mine. Love it!
Yay, go Martha!
Hey, me too! And my meal-planning, plus interesting recipes in a plastic sleeve 😊
Oh, I love the idea of adding self-preservation ideas in each zone. I'm going to steal this idea!
Good day to you Diane, dreary day here in western NY and I’m going to begin by “making my own sunshine.” Loved that opening! Thank you and have a good weekend.
Love the bright white tee shirt and blazer look. You look beautiful today.
I’ve made my own detail cleaning lists, but I love the idea of adding gardening chores to the zones! Thanks for the inspiration!
I love the idea of a Hyge Home book. I've made Control Journals in the past, but not recently (full time work gets in the way, doesn't it?) but this weekend I feel the need to sort out my house again. Time to get out that ring binder again....
Have you made a hyge home book yet?
Thanks again Diane for sharing all of your knowledge and information with us. You are truly an inspiration and encouragement to me. ❤️ You!!
Your RUclips channel is an inspiration as well as an absolute joy. I am following the FlyLady system as best I can with a home that is undergoing a lot of building work (walls demolished, new doorways and a dismantled kitchen). I have been using a bullet journal for several years, so I am incorporating FlyLady into that - it works well. It is great to learn about the Danish way of life. I have been to Copenhagen for work and enjoyed cycling to meetings and exploring the city. Thank you for your motivational videos - keep them coming.
It's tough going thru renovations, especially your kitchen. Good for you, keeping your routines up. The end result will be worth it!
Aww, thank you for the lovely words, Martine!
I made a control journal, it only took about 2 hour to make it pretty and functional. I wanted to make it pretty because I use it everyday. I include my shopping lists and blank paper for writing down the week's to do's. It's been worth having and great to look at.
Do you still use it? I would love to see it!
@@eternalabundance39 Yes I do I love it I don't have a way to post a picture.
Thank you. This was very helpful. Instead of putting all of it into a binder, I pasted it all into a planner/calendar. That way I have everything in one location - yearly, weekly, monthly calendar and my fly lady lists: daily routines, weekly tasks, zones, Reset Monday, tickler list (already built into my planner) and address book (also built in).
Your hair is particularly flattering and pretty today! Thank you for the CJ video ❤️
Dear Diane! This was very informative and helpful, thank you very much. I already use a bullet journal but I will move the constant things about the household to my controll journal. This way I think will be more practical.
Hope it works for you, Judit! Have a lovely weekend!
I am glad you mentioned bullet journaling in association with a control journal, it gave me a good idea... I only dabble in bullet journaling, but I am thinking of keeping blank paper in my control journal to do my morning list and basic schedule for the day. I am a type 7 in the Enneagram personality testing and a suggestion I got from there was to get all of my swirling thoughts out on paper first thing in the morning. It helps get rid of the overwhelm and gives me a clear idea of where I want to start. I don't do anything fancy in my bullet journal, so I think combining the two might be a good solution for me.
@@thechickenwire6136 Just wondered if you're familiar with "Morning Pages"? Made popular in the book The Artist's Way, by Julia Cameron (although Morning Pages is not her original idea). Sounds like you may already be on to it, but if not it might be something you'd like.
@@mixedmedialife7916 I haven't heard of those, I will look into it!
Putting my Bless This Home - Bless This
Home Keeper journal together was so helpful and necessary for me to pull from so many sources to create a system that really Works for me. It is a living, breathing document.
Though I have a good start, I watched your videos because YOU are such an inspiring presenter. So cute!
You are so welcome, Jo!
I love love this hairstyle on you❤❤and of course the off white and golden necklace🎉
I really started using a control journal was in the holiday season when my daughter was little. Especially with all the events that small children have. Planning for Christmas is so much fun with a guide. So my next update journal will be my holiday one as my daughter is older now our holidays have changed. I really work on my control journal as I go and I usually plan to spend 1 day a month to make sure that everything in it is up to date. Happy Weekend!
The Chanel style jacket is much more flattering on you than the lapels style jackets! Today is garden shed and snow tire day for us! ( I guess that is our date!)
I love starting my mornings with you!
Oh, Diane... 😂 You adding "plunger" to the party list made me laugh so hard! Those boys. Thank you for this and for making some sunshine for me today. Grey here too on Vancouver Island. Much love and a virtual hug. 🇨🇦
Please work on getting me some sunshine for my Vancouver Island visit coming up!
@@mixedmedialife7916 Ohhh, I will! Four seasons in one day here right now. As Diane says "There's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing." (Ie bring your wellies, your jumper, your wee strappy top AND your flip flops. 😂). Have a great time. x
I prefer having lists in a binder or book rather than the phone, too. BTW, your hair looks extra pretty today!
I've started a section in my control journal that is ... hmm... instructions and numbers in the event of serious injury, or death, of my husband or myself. I know this is a morbid thing to contribute to the comments for this upbeat vid, but for so long I've ignored that kind of stuff and at least now I have *something* written, and instructions that I think I could follow if I was falling apart with worry or grief. Best to do it now when we're in good spirits, right? I worry, therefore I am.
ok, this is a good video for me, with my issues regarding control journal. thank you!
So appreciate your sharing with us all when you take on a new project (or, in this case, update one). You give me inspiration and incentive to “put one foot in front of the other “ and actually get something done. So it is with my control journal...now called Hygge Home, as well...in homage to a) you for the kick in the bahookie, and b) my Danish ancestry that I have always been proud of, without previously knowing why. And now I’m off to actually use it as another inspiration to keep moving forward. May the Danish Hygge by with you...Live long and prosper!
Hello😃 I found your channel from the secret slob and I love you both!! Thank you for your videos. Ps love your hair!!! Looks 👍
Aww, thank you so much and welcome here!
I used to be a great writer of shopping lists and such, but I married a man who does everything digitally. Oh, the look you get when you hand a handwritten shopping list to someone who has an app for everything.
Also, this morning I had to wait to go down into the dark basement, because the bloody lightbulb was updating...
I absolutely love our digital shopping list. I use Trello and I have a different card for each store we normally use. It lets you make lists and I make a list for each aisle (for the main store we use) and then I just uncheck the items we need. You can hide all of the checked items, so it only shows the unchecked items. My husband has the same app, so he just opens it and can see what's on the list. Then I don't have to remake the list each time, or consider what we need. I just go down the list and uncheck things we are out of or add new items as needed. It saves me hours of time each month! However, I keep a paper list that I can strike off tasks as I go. Something about that physical list makes me happy, I want to see the progress I have made and I can't do that if it's hiding on my phone. :D
-Katrina
The Chicken Wire we use trello for things we want to do around the house and lists for packing before trips and stuff like that. Nowadays, I have a digital list on my phone/iPad/Mac, but I also have a physical list. It just feels more rewarding to actually cross something off.
Magicme79 I did laugh about the light bulb... we had a power cut in the summer. When the power came on, so did lots of lights and Alexa couldn’t turn anything off till the Internet came back up... first world problems! I get the kids to write what they want on a pad in the kitchen. I am sometimes good and put it straight into the shopping app but not often!
Love that you tint your lashes and eyebrows in Zone 2 :D
Thank you Diane, some really good ideas here. I've revamped my control journal now and feeling much more organised.
Yay, go you, Heather! 🎉
What a wonderful idea! Adding shopping lists and self care to the zones! I absolutely love that idea. This is a life changing hack! Thank you for sharing Diane 💕💕
Hope the self-care is going well, Nance! 🖐😀
Diane, you look fantastic!!👌😍
I break my travel lists up for different trips. I have a list if we are going to the ocean, a different list for hiking, etc.
I LOVE your jacket! I presume it's from a clothes swap but could you please tell us what brand it is? I was just admiring a similar one on Anna Wintour and I think hers was Chanel. You manage to make it look so fresh and modern rather than stuffy the way you styled it with the necklace and tshirt. Hugs from Dublin xx
Jacket is second-hand, Zara 🖐
@@DianeinDenmark PERFECT on you!!
May I suggest on any papers relating to you, family, children and pets that you clearly state any allergies, possibly in red? If you are trying to give information in an emergency, you will often be asked about allergies, and a panicked brain may struggle to remember. Xx
Thank you for your fab videos...they are so helpful.💕
Ra re re, you've put a smile on my face again. Have a great weekend with your family...you deserve it
I thought of something important for my control journal. I'm going out of town next month so I had the vet email me vet records of each dog just in case they need to go to emergency vet after hours or my Dad can't handle them and they need to be boarded. I've also put copies of rabies vaccines.
I love your fashion style!
It's a beautiful Misty day here and Autumn feels absolutely around the corner, despite feeling a little sluggish I'm going to take advantage of the comfy chair sitting and work on my own home binder after hearing your encouragement towards it, I've had a super cute binder sitting around my house for a year or so now never quite knowing what to do with it but not wanting to depart with it because I knew it might be handy one day, now I think with your help I'll be able to put it to a practical and positive use. 💚 Hugs from U.S. 😄
Lol @ adding plunger for the list for boys high school party. So I have been suprised when you've mentioned high school parties and drinking. I just looked up the drinking age there and there is none? It's 21 here. The article also mention some imbibe even at breakfast a special thick stout, mentioning there is no socially acceptable hour to start drinking. Go Denmark! That's hygge attitude for sure!
Age limits for kids...beer/cider/wine is 16. Strong spirits and cigarettes 18. Driving licence at 18.
Your hair looks fab in that style! 🙂
Thanks for the video. I have watched your channel nearly a year. Keep moving on with great videos :)
I just found you and i love you. Thats it! Subscribed!
Happy Kanelbullen Dag!
So helpful! You have a beautiful home and noticing you don't have curtains in your kitchen. You also don't seem to have many decorative items on your walls. Is that a Denmark thing or just personal preference? I personally tend to put too much on my walls..
The Scandinavian style is light and airy - also a personal preference of ours not to have too many things on the walls/flat surfaces 😀
Yayyyy! Random comment, you and your husby have great taste in music. I like some classic punk too. Do you like Stiff Little Fingers? I got to see them a bunch of years back here in New York. I also love cleaning to Tame Impala. I'd love to see some of your cleaning playlists!
Wasn't a huge fan of SLF but love Tame Impala and saw them this year...you can see us both here! ruclips.net/video/ftPvXD2QXtI/видео.html 😍
I would love to see how you tint your eyelashes!
Buy a product from a recommended brand. Follow the instructions to the letter. Do not stop to film for RUclips when using serious chemicals. LOL!
Gina, Boots in Ireland England carries eyelash tint.
I now live in NJ have found a salon that does eyelash tint. I love it as I an very fair skinned and gray lashes😂
I'm a new sub and I absolutely love your outlook and your videos thus far!
Welcome here, Brittany!
Thanks Diane Great Video! I picked up Stranger Dairies by Elly Griffiths after the last Hygge video (I had to wait, the library copy was out!) But I got it today and I can't out it down. Thanks for the recommendation.
I would love to see a party planning video!!
Cloudy and grey here too... The Wife 🇨🇦
You are just so adorable. XO
Aww, thank you so much! 😍
Great video Diane! You look so lovely today, love your jacket and do I notice some changes with your hair?
No, hair is just the same 🖖 Perhaps a little more windswept than usual? 😄
Plunger 😂
