Just curious as to whether there are other people following the FlyLady system, and what their take on it is.

I belong to her site and I get emails every day.
I think she's a little intense and I am
no way close to keeping up with all of it.
I do try to do things in 15 minute intevalls

 

[autumnlynn]

I, too, signed up for the e-mails. You get a LOT of e-mails. I haven't kept up with everything, either, but I find that it is helping.

 

[thegemreaper]

I signed up for the emails and printed off a lot of the lists and such. There are lots of emails with lots of good ideas.If I just had the energy that these folks seem to have, it would be great LOL I don't think my home will ever be spotless and organized until all the children are grown.

Take Care,
Susan

Me, me House is still far, far from perfect, but much more organized than it used to be. Flylady was one of the only things that helped me survive when I was a working mom - house is gradually looking better now that I'm staying home.

Ive been involved in the flylady system since i got married 5 years ago. Ive never truly followed it because i believe you have to make it your own. Though ive used her methods, along with the Pam and Peggy SHE books. There is also a yahoo group i use because i like to have lists around the house and these are cute ones....(im talking i have lists taped up in my cupboard doors and such)
So if youre looking for lists http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FLYingFrannyKickers/ is great one. She has some very neat lists under the files that with word you can change for your schedule. I especially like but i don't have kids is the Kids Journal Pages, very cute and a great way to get kids started in being organized and having routines i think.

yes im fluttering along. like most i don't follow it to the letter but i do use her principles in my house and it keeps things running smoothly and generally clean and tidy

I signed up but its dosnt work for me , and i didnt like learning in steps , i like learning the whole thing and then applying , and her application just wasnt for my oddball family or schedule

Yep thats how i was in the beginning, then i just had to make it my own, i use some of her principles but defintely not all of them. like i do not wear shoes in my house which shes frowns upon, also i dont just do 15 minutes i do it until its done but within my routine. Also i do the zones per a day not per a week.

I am signed up and I use some of it. Still struggling though!

~I'm a member! 4 years now. Even have the official timer and duster(and year before last I had the calendar). I am such a perfectionist that I will think and plan the best way to clean for hours and never actually get anything done. After reading the site and emails I got curious about how long chores actually take. Almost everything that needs doing CAN be done in 15 minutes! Kinda opened my eyes to what a waste it was to procrastinate over such small things. I really need to re-do all my routines to include educational activities with Roman. Haven't updated them in over a year.~

 

[AheeK]

I stumbled across the site and ended up reading EVERYTHING on it. I love a lot of her ideas...I can definitely see how having a routine can save your house and your sanity when you're a mom running after kids. I don't need to use much right now, but I have the site bookmarked for when my life gets busier.

 

[Lady_V]

i joined.... but its 50/50 that I can even find my sink :lol:

 

[Seraph]

Me! Me!

I like a lot of her ideas, but had to do some serious tweaking to make them fit my family's lives.

And the emails are a bit much. I rarely have time to read any but a few a them every day.

 

[Drgnfly423]

I fall on and off the "flywagon", but I'm "on" right now! I love the decluttering stuff. I definitely need that motivation in my life.

 

[Guest]

I LOVE Flylady! I waited to start following her system until we got married, and I wish I'd started sooner. No, I don't follow her rules to the letter, but I have had an extreme attitude adjustment since I joined that makes my life a lot nicer. I'm one of those who go on and off the wagon - it has definetly helped me. I recommend her site to lots of people.

Although lately I think a lot of the emails are more about pushing her products, but that's getting off topic..

 

[britbunny]

I do class myself as a flybaby but I have just unsubscribed from the email list if that makes sense.

I have my routines pretty much internalised so don't feel the need to be reminded to shine my sink and all that stuff. Plus I was getting the daily digest but not reading it so the emails we piling up and I was logging on just to delete things, which sidetracked me lol.

But I have decluttered the house and with my routines the house is tidy and clean all the time, so it has been a huge success for me. I've moved to the stage where I'm Flying without the lady but another board I visit has a group of flybabies so we all support each other and it works really well. I do listen to the radio show on a Friday even though I'm not Leanne's biggest fan.

I agree with Telphus44 that there's more pushing of products than there used to be but I just ignore that and take what works for me.

I am a S.H.E. from early 2000 to present. (Sidetracked Home Executive) FlyLady was a S.H.E. until, with Pam & Peggy's blessing, she went out on her own. I met her at a S.H.E. convention a few years ago, in Oregon. Quite the dynamo and a sense of humor that was wonderful. I still follow the S.H.E. system. It is one that I am comfortable with. I hear that there is a lot of success with the FlyLady system, also.

 

[LynnLC]

I am- although i pick & choose thru her routines. If I could do all those emails- i would have my own site! :va: :dishes: :coffee3: :laundry: :bolt:

 

[Lady Jennelle]

I used to sub to her group and get the e-mails but then they started annoying me and I was just deleting them without reading.

Finally I unsubbed altogether from the group ...

I love reading her website, just not getting all of the e-mails. *lol*

Love,

Jennelle
