Fly Lady

Everyone knows about FlyLady.com, but do you use it? I have taken what they’ve taught me and I have altered it to fit our own home management schedule (doesn’t that sound grand? “Home Management Schedule”). Chores are done all throughout the week so that the house is clean by Friday afternoon - the day I teach piano. Then we can actually have company over the weekend without going into freak-out, cleaning-frenzy mode. I love her definition of chaos - “Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome”. Admittedly our house is usually in a state of chaos, but people come and go anyway. Just hope they’re not judging me too harshly. I guess they’re not. We actually do get repeat visitors and people do let their children come over - probably crossing their fingers in hopes they won’t catch a disease while at our house.

Just scheduling in the weekly/monthly/biannual chores keeps me from going nuts. Even if I don’t get to everything in my weekly zone, I get more than nothing done. It really helps since we don’t have a maid. Ah, to be wealthy.

Do you fly? What are the nuggets of cleaning wisdom you’ve gotten from FlyLady or anywhere else? I’m always looking for help.
