Day 8 - Get a ring binder and put paper in it http://www.flylady.net/d/getting-started/31-beginner-babysteps/day-8/ Today we are getting a binder, journal, or other method and on one sheet put “Morning routine†and on another sheet “Before Bed routineâ€. Now write simple routines under both headlines. Morning Routine: Get up and get dressed to lace up shoes; fixing your hair and face Looking at your posted reminders in kitchen and bathroom Read any messages on Flylady website or emails Recognizing the negative voices and changing them! You are flying now! Put out any hot spots for 2 minutes Before Bed Routine: Keep your sink shining Lay out your clothes for tomorrow * Put out your hot spot - optional but always a good idea to do it twice… easier to wake to a clean house then a dirty one! Need more inspiration? https://youtu.be/X5nsHaYFcG0 I use a Travelers notebook as my control journal. In it I am able to put anything of any importance and organize it how I see fit. I have several books in it and one is my control journal. However I can see if journaling isn’t your thing, maybe you would have a rack with cards in that you can flip over on a peg system. Perhaps different colors for different times of the day. This is really all about you and what works best for you. So how you would keep track of things the best is how it should be for you. Today what does a control journal mean to you? Edited September 8, 2017 by 3 ladybugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butter Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I will not write things on paper. I hate clutter and I found the paper control journal thing to be clutter for me. I use OneNote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 ladybugs Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 This is my travelers notebook. I have since laminated the covers but it is basically the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) I do have a household journal, but I've stopped using the cleaning lists because I was really feeling oppressed (for lack of a better word) with them. I appreciate the referral of Diane in Denmark that someone one this board made (was that you, 3ladybus?) because I am now feeling free to follow her more relaxed interpretation. I just got back from grocery shopping, and I've got to figure out how to shop online for groceries!
