DawnM Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 not???? Any other de-cluttering, home organizing websites???? I bought the book, "The House that Cleans Itself." I haven't read it yet. DH took one look at it and said, "You bought the wrong house!" :lol: I wish I could get myself together. I really do. Any suggestions? I was a FlyLady flunky.

AmyontheFarm Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Marla would tell you that you aren't a flunky! Did you start by trying to do everything all at once? If you liked the overall idea of FlyLady then go back and do her babysteps program and only do ONE day worth of activities per day! No jumping ahead. We "Fly" around here but I changed up most of the program to fit my needs, my families needs and our houses needs. That is the point of the whole program. You need to switch it up to work for YOUR needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm37 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I have found peace with keeping my living/dining/kitchen area clutter-free. It is always 15-30 minutes away from perfect. The downstairs family room, the laundry/storage area and the bedrooms can get pretty bad. I always have work waiting in those spaces, but they are never a high priority. I have read the books, signed up for the email lists, etc., but this is all I've ever been able to really keep up. I am happy with it. Blessings!

PentecostalMom Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Getorganizednow.com Checking this out. FlyLady overwhelmed me. Maybe I am missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I liked Side-tracked Home Executives. It's a FlyLady precursor that I found much more useful for my style. I flunked out of Fly Lady twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I liked Side-tracked Home Executives. It's a FlyLady precursor that I found much more useful for my style. I flunked out of Fly Lady twice. FlyLady got her start with the Sidetracked Home Executives. ;-) I prefer S.H.E. myself, because it is NOT computer based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIE! Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I did FlyLady for a while, but got sick of it. http://www.motivatedmoms.com was a good alternative for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom in High Heels Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I was a 2 time Fly-Flunky. The emails were overwhelming! I TRIED baby-steps, but the constant emails made me feel like I was failing! FAILING! Why doesn't my house clean itself???? Where's my robot maid? Aren't we supposed to have robot maids by now?

Jeannie in NJ Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 yes, what is the name of the robot maid in The Jetsons, was it Rosie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudge Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Another vote for Motivated Moms. I can have an utter disaster going on here and if I do only just the things on the list for the day things start to look presentable in about 3 days. And the nice little checklist speaks to my inner OCD..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrey Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 A couple of things that I find useful: OrganizedHome.com -- Not just about cleaning, but all household management. It has tons of checklists and some really great long-range cleaning/decluttering plans. HouseHoncho.com -- If you sign up for the "free daily to do list", you get one single email a day with 9 possible chores to do in the room of the day. There are 3 simple ones, 3 intermediate ones and 3 challenging ones. You pick any 3 to do -- more if you're ambitious. The goal is to get you in the habit of paying basic attention to a room every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I like motivated moms, and even spring for the app. It works well. I like tweaking the lists to assign chores and add/delete chores. I did flylady for years, but the cheerleader type talk turned me off, and the mini-commercials drove me nuts. I did buy some of her products, to support her, so they worked apparently. :) Organized Home is great, too, and I'm going to check out Audrey's other link.

MomOfOneFunOne Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 yes, what is the name of the robot maid in The Jetsons, was it Rosie? Yes! I want a Rosie! AMDG I want Aunt Bea; my daughter wants Alice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KungFuPanda Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 FlyLady got her start with the Sidetracked Home Executives. ;-) I prefer S.H.E. myself, because it is NOT computer based. That's exactly why I failed. Once I logged onto the computer it was all over. Also, the S.H.E. cards are easier to shuffle for folks like me who work in fits and bursts.

MomtoCandJ Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Wish they had a S.H.E app. (Free because i don't have extra money to spend on apps)I have ADD so if it isn't making a noise at me or in my face, it's not gonna get done :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
