What’s Wrong with Now

Dear Friends,

Why is it that we always need a starting point to begin to change our lives? You know how it is; On Monday I will start a new diet, quit smoking, start exercising or become a FLY Baby. Some of us wait till January 1st to begin a life change. If it is such a good idea then why do we need to wait for some other time to begin???

What is wrong with the Do it Now Principle? DING! I have preached for years that you are not behind and you can jump in anytime. Some days I have been known to start over in the middle of the afternoon.

Here is what I do:

Let’s say for some reason I am having trouble getting my day started and it is 2:00 pm.

1. I go look at my bed and if it is not made, I make it. There are days when I have to jump up and get the phone that seems to start me off on the wrong foot. So I just pretend to be getting out of bed for the first time.

2. Then I pick out some more clothes to put on. Because what I am wearing isn’t energizing me. I must have gotten dressed fast or I still have on my pajamas.

3. Then I go get into the bathtub. A good soak helps me to focus again.

4. Then I get out of tub and get dressed. As I am dressing, I swish and swipe the bathroom. (wipe down the counter, put things away and swish the toilet bowl with a Rubba Swisha)

5. I put on my lace up shoes then I get out my Control Journal and start down my list to see what I have left out. Most of the time I have forgotten to eat all day and drink my water. So I make sure I eat something and get out my  water bottle.

6. At this point, I use my timer, because my home has probably gotten more than 15 minutes worth of messy and it is time to attack my hotspots.

7. I work for 15 minutes and then I rest for 15 minutes. After about an hour of this my home is back in shape and I am feeling better about me.

So do you see just how easy it is to start over with your day! You don’t have to beat yourself up or go hide under the covers: All you have to do is start your Morning Routine over again. Don’t look at it as if you are behind! Just jump in and get started.

Are you ready to Jump in and get started today?

We Have Some Great Tools in the FlyShop.

The Carpet Sweepas are Back!

This is a mop cloth that I designed from our detailed dusting mitt. It does an amazing job on my floors. It helps me to eliminate the sweeping step before I mop. Check it out in our FlyShop. We have lots of pictures and a video now.


The next new item is a Multi-Wand.

It is flexible and has lots of ways it can be used. One great feature is that it will attach to our mop handle and it will give you an extended reach. I wanted this tool to keep you from climbing on furniture.

 Check out all the pictures for this great new dusting tool.
