Looking for a Flylady Refresher Course or need to get Back to Flylady Basics? My playlist is here ruclips.net/p/PLxIYCyTLBED-1vdMwaAhm7Z_3Br__gals And you can see Steph's kitchen video/the teatowel I gave her here! ruclips.net/video/vxPA-aBV33w/видео.html
I used to struggle with the idea that I needed to follow how the flylady said to do things. But at one point I decided to follow my own system. which was actually pretty much the flylady system with a few adjustments that worked for my life, preferences and limitations. For example I really like my shower cleaned once a week so that's part of my weekly blessing hour. but I'm a single person who lives alone so I don't do a load of laundry everyday.
I have health issues so I don't actually do a home blessing hour. That would be too difficult. Instead, I do weekly blessing every Saturday and Sunday mornings. I simply divide the cleaning between the two days. What makes a difference in flylady in my life is the idea of the morning and evening routines. and then the regular cleaning of zones instead of heavy duty spring and fall cleaning. Having that organizational system where I have a regular plan of action for my home is all the difference. Not only is at the end of chaos because the house is better it reduces my mental chaos.
Diana want to say it is so importantdid you keep reminding us to set our timer and not to sit around watching the internet and RUclips. I get so into it that I don't pay attention to how much time has passed. And when I watch your videos on a regular basis I do a much better job of turning it off, and putting on some music instead, and accomplishing things on my to-do list. Please keep reminding us of this and all your videos it really makes a difference.
I discovered you and the Flylady system about a month ago. I have been recovering from depression and getting myself and home together for some time, but this system has gotten me over one of my final hurdles. I think therapists should be recommending this system to their patients! Thanks for the motivation and guidance!!
Dear Diane, Your videos have changed my life! Usually I would feel so overwhelmed during unexpected busy periods, but by keeping up my routines, it alleviates the additional stress of not getting around to everything. Be blessed. Kind regards. Elmien from sunny South Africa.
Cleaned out my fridge while listening! (Including that container at the back I've been avoiding for 2 weeks... It was gross but now it's all gone 🐟😝😷). Happy anti - procrastination Wednesday everyone 😊.
You're such an inspiring T1 lady, a very good role model. I like how your hair, blouse and necklace go together so nice.
I love Steph and that's how I found you. I also worked for our court system for 18 years until I retired. I love watching your videos. I clean while I watch or listen to you. The biggest take away for me is that I don't have to do it all at once. I would dig into one big project and work myself to burn out or run out of time and feel as though I failed. Thank you for spending some time helping us all.
I can't get over how gorgeous that top looks with your skin color! I'm using the 15 minute timer plan to work on some invasive weeds we found on our property. I was feeling overwhelmed at first thinking I should rip them all out at once (it's been hot and humid and I was dripping with sweat) and then...what would Diane do popped into my head! I've done 15 minute weeds three days in a row and I'm feeling so much more in control. Your wisdom hop skips around the world! Thank you, dear girl!
Lovely blouse... it goes beautiful with that necklace.
You are such a delight, Diane!! I want to be just like you when I grow up. SERIOUSLY. I'm older than you, so I'm not sure how that's going to work, but I'm going to be better...I swear. You are an inspiration, with your "active" lifestyle. I started exercising 4 days ago, but I need to do better. AND I WILL. Please know what a help you are!! You are blessed, dear lady!!
You’re like a cool breeze in a hot day! ;) Thanks for your encouragement!
Diane- you are such a joy to watch! Thank you for being such a bright spot in my day 😊
PS- I had a dream that you came to my home to try to help me get organized and I kept getting sidetracked... you got so frustrated with me that you left. On that note, I'd better get back to work! 😂
LOL!!!!
Love your message not to get sucked into binge-watching.
"BAHOOKIE" HAHAHA!!! that's a new word for me - I love it!
Enjoy using it! Bahookie is a Scottish word - you'll hear me using it a lot! 😊
I love the way you interpret the FLYlady system - not rules, but things to keep in mind. That's how I use it, too!
Diana, .You go girl! We will be cheering you on 🏃♀️
Love your cheery nature and I agree its been one of those weeks here too. It's so hot here 110-114 last whole month and no end in site..brutal..try to stay cool, thanks for doing your video
Thanks for the reminder that the system doesn't have to be followed strictly. So important !
As I'm coming to the end of my Baby Steps I'm planning on starting them all over again in September. Yay! I love it this! I actually look forward to shining my sink or putting out my clothes for the next day.
I used to be such a binge watcher but I've trained myself to only watch when I'm having a coffee break 🙃
I absolutely love the fly lady system, even though I only use about 10% of it. The 10% that works for me has changed my life so much. Our home is always clean and tidy but it feels like I’ve never done so little to keep it that way.....thank you for encouraging us to “make it our own system”...you’re inspiring 💕🌻🍀
Thank you! 👋😁
I had just settled in my comfy couch to binge watch a few of your videos and then BAM! Busted. You started off telling me to make sure I’m up and doing something with you!! 😂😂.
LOL! Thanks for working together with me, Lynette!
I think you look beautiful today! Love your blouse and jewelry! Have fun in your race!
We've just got back from camping yesterday and the kids and I are doing 5 min room rescue and 15min do your own thing on and off all day to get through it all. Thanks for your help.
I love the spirit of your race! Run with your group and no times! Lovely!!
Ah that's so cool that you and Steph are going to do a collab! I saw the video where she shows off the tea towel. I really like her channel. Diane, you are such an inspiration! 💕
Good morning from NY. I found your channel couple days ago and I am obsessed lol
You have made the fly lady system so simple to understand and I am super excited to implement it in my home.
Welcome here, Chani!
Grand advice for the family involvement. You are so right about recommending that you just do it at first without notifying the whole family.
I do my own version of the Fly Lady. I only do about 15 minutes of housework a day. I keep the lid of my washing machine open, and we toss in the laundry throughout the day, then I just close the lid and push the button, I may not need to do a load every day. My son prefers to do his own laundry. I do wipe down my kitchen every night with disinfectant every night, have all the dishes done through out the day and let them air dry, and make sure my home is tidy before bed. I disinfect my bathrooms every day. It's so easy, and I have loads of free time. tfs 💐💐💐💐💐
Yay, go you! One of the benefits of doing the Flylady system...more time for the fun things!
@@DianeinDenmark Yes! Exactly ! :) I hope others who watch your videos understand this :)
Love how excited you are to go and do this race!
5k...how exciting! You might want to rethink wearing a hat...it will hold the heat in. Either a visor, for sun protection, or a sweatband to catch the drips might be a better choice. Just wanted to pass on a couple of tips for running in the heat from Texas. Have fun!!!
Hi and thanks!
One of the things in my 'pamper basket' is Diane in Denmark videos. Cup of tea or coffee and a little Scottish sisterly chat. I use some of your videos as something to listen to while I get things done, but I also sit down and treat myself with just watching, especially when you pull out clothes or jewelry. But when you are buzzing around a room getting things done I'd feel guilty just sipping and sitting so ok....up and off I go.
Love your channel Diane😄😄
I'm so happy I took your advice about not pushing Flylady down my partner's throat. I just started to do it for myself. I'm so happy I did because it's been a life habit to do everything for everyone else. It's been amazing to do something FOR ME AND ONLY ME. Same with DYT. Thank you Diane. You are a gem and I'm incredibly thankful for your diligence with these videos.
Yay, I love that attitude, Kendra!
Best of luck this evening Diane. Go girl you're brill. Mary in Tipperary xxxxx
Morning! I'm having a wee cuppa and listening. (Resting my eyes)😉
Woohoo!!! Go you Diane in your 5 k run!! 💖🌷Glad you and Steph have connected!! My first run was an 8 k, many years ago, and I was so happy to finish it. 😅😉. Thinking of you 😊
Hi Heather! I'm not so keen on the running part, but the party afterwards makes it all worth it! Thanks again for carrying Steph's gift. Hugs to you! 💖🖐😀
Love your video!! You & Secret slob can't wait 😃 Have fun tonight, Go Diane 👏
Morning! ( well it is in Boston!) I saw the tea towel in the secret slob’s video and it really made me smile. It was lovely to see how many comments there were that you Diane are our personal hero! So cool! Gave me a fuzzy feeling. 🥰 Good luck for the race- you’ve got this! Xxx
Love working along to your videos. I get lots done , you’re very motivating 💥
Have FUN tonight. 🏅👟 🥂Hopefully the temperature goes down in Denmark as it does today in The Netherlands. 🌡️
Best of luck on your 5k! Aw, I remember running my first 5k race, such a thrill. 💕xo
By the time you get this message you will have probably already completed your run. I trust you had a fabulous time. Sounds like a great event. 🎉🎉🎉💕
Good Morning! Yes I love chocolate too. Lol...the tea towel is lovely. It's 4:48am here in Wisconsin. Temperature 56 degrees Fahrenheit. I hope your temps cool off soon. Enjoy your day.
I know how the hot weather can put you down, today we will reach 38ºC (Spain)! I went for my hygge session very early in the morning. I really appreciate what you do!
Good morning, Diane! Thankfully it’s cooled off a tiny bit here in SC. Hope it cools off there soon. 😎 Enjoy yourself!🎉🎉🎉
Great video. Good luck on the race. Well I am doing things a little different with the fly lady thing, apart from doing normal household chores each day I am gradually decluttering, when I have done the whole house I am then going to do fly lady properly, theres just too much in my house at the moment. Its really hot here in the UK too.
Hot day here today, so morning outside and then gym in the afternoon. We are finishing up stage 1 of a yard project. The plantings are on the spring budget , so it will all be tarped for the winter. A new mailbox post and box are scheduled so to be pretty for the holidays. Car maintenance, new snow tires, and detailing are scheduled for next Friday. I think that is all the seasonal work left to do.My little ranch house is very plain and tidy, seasonal corn and chrysanthemums are by the front entry now. Our medical appointments are made , with the dentist this Friday.
Words of wisdom
I am Guilty as charged:(
I have done EXACTLY as you have described so NOW, this is my light bulb moment to zip it and carry on without mentioning it to the family. It will be my new positive "habit."
How do you know that some of us have done this?! So excited with FlyLady system that we drive others away...taking your advice to heart, and THANK you!!
As I type this, you are probably beginning your 5K. Love the race tee!. Cheers to you👟💥🍥🍥🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉I would have to be one of the "walkers." 🎖🎈
Go you. Have a fun time tonight🏃♀️ Thank you - cheer me up.
Perfect timing with all of your advice. I was frustrated when I found dishes in the sink this morning and items put away in spots I’ve designated for other things. It’s just the way my roommate is so I’ll ask them for some assistance and explain my needs in more detail over time. Oh and I hope your run went well!
Your videos have helped me establish consistency! Thanks!!
Good old Ribena!! The only thing i can drink when I'm having a really bad IBS episode. I hope you had a great time! Xxx
Love Steph from the secret slob. I’m super excited to hear a collaboration is coming.
Thank you for the advice not to be pushy with my family in regards to the Fly Lady cleaning..thanks again for your encouragement.
LOL obviously it's been a while since I was watching your videos regularly, because I wasn't sure what you would say re getting the household onboard with flylady. I'm staying with family who just DON'T GET how life-changing introducing a shiny sink can be.. 😂 will focus more on my morning / evening routines instead of the dishes
Oh man the shiny sink got to be such a disappointment for me. I ended up crying several times over it. It got so bad that I gave up completely! Been telling myself lately that I need and want to get back to that habit, but knew that my family would come in and mess it all up again. I never had even one morning that I got to go see a beautiful shiny sink. So I tried switching it up to when I was done hand washing dishes (no working dishwasher). But my son and I split up that chore throughout the week. I am only on dish duty 4 times a week and that's as many times as the sink got shined. Then felt so bad about it not happening every day that I blew up the whole habit cuz I was done with how awful it made me feel. Now this video is exactly what I needed. Somehow I need to let the hope of seeing the shiny sink later go AND just use it as a bookend to my day. That helps so much! I know what I am doing today!
Hope it goes well, my dear!
Good luck on your race!
Have an awesome 🏁 race. 🏃 Great that you don't measure your miles by time. I think a three song mile would beat a 3 minute mile. lol 😉 Enjoy!🌻💐
Have fun tonight at your run! You always inspire! Haircut today and dentist tomorrow (ugh) for me!
Good luck with the run! 🏃♀️🇩🇰 Looking forward to hearing about it. Love all that you can fit into the bags!
yes to get something done i need to be motivated. I watch your channel and then i clean then i watch, then i clean and its a long cycle but i get the stuff done..
I also did not need to do laundry every day, so I substituted that with either decluttering/mending clothes every morning(had backlog of little sewing needs that 'I'll get to' and never got to, now my sewing basket is out and used often). And I have a cat, so use that lol task time to clean his litter boxes, wash food bowls and wipe down his feeding area (messy eater).
Love that you take such good care of your Kitty.
Those t-shirts are fab 😍 Have fun 😁🏃♀️🎉🎉 x x x
Loved today's topics.❣️ I am in the process of modifying a lot of things, one is where things go in the kitchen! Everyday you encourage us in a new way. Thanks!! Have fun at the 5K tonight!! 🏃♀️
Ok am lying in bed watching after organising. Is that okay?
Hi Diane , the blouse you are wearing in this video, cotton, you got from clothes swap party mid June, 2019, do you still have it , or do you remember the brand? Thank you.
The top went back to the Swap 👋😃
I am not good with the heat. I was all ready for fall :D I just finished a declutter and the heat nearly did me in. I told hubby about flylady and he’s aboard with the program, as long as I promised not to ever call him a flylady XD
Also, tried your recipe for rolls and they are delicious. Will definitely do those again. Tomorrow, in fact!
So glad you enjoyed the rolls! Thanks for letting me know!
Hey Diane, Really enjoy your videos. Got one or a few easy to remember best tips for one who is getting started/ back on track with a lot of catching up to do? The run sounds wonderful.
Hi Kim! I would start with the basics, your morning and evening routine! 🖐😀 Here's my Flylady Refresher Course videos, if you need more ruclips.net/p/PLxIYCyTLBED-1vdMwaAhm7Z_3Br__gals
Lovely lovely flattering blouse!
Sounds like my kind of 5 k ,picnic and fizz at the end ! I do parkrun weekly do you have one in Copenhagen ? I'm lucky my local park is by the lake so in summer I often swim afterwards and have a coffee with a friend great way to start the weekend.
Hi Jenny! Yes, there is parkrun here too!
Love your videos but could you raise the volume a little - ?
Hi Faye! There's an extra volume button right on the RUclips video screen (bottom left handcorner). Sometimes it defaults to 50%. Hope that helps!
Good luck with your run. I'm worn out thinking about it. .
Hi Diane just started watching your channel, how did you come to live in Denmark.
She moved there with her husband
Her husband is Danish.
Hi Lesley! I met my husband (Danish) when we were both working at the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg. We moved here and started a family.
I would love the link for your puffer jacket. Or at least the brand 😁
Mine is from Uniqlo! But there are plenty on the market 🖐😀
❤️
Re: FlyLady Secret oops, I did the opposite and lectured everyone who was lingering in my presence, including family members, friends & colleagues. :-/ But, still, I don’t think it was detrimental. The family have all come on board and are changing their ways. They understand my Swish & Swipe term etc. I have teen daughters and I’m hoping they can see that this system IS the best system for keeping house. We’re all enjoying it and appreciating it. Most of all ME!!!!!
Yay, glad the system is helping, Christy!
