Dear FlyLady,
My Before Bed Routine has been a three-step dance that is part of the larger evening routine of sink shining, exercise, etc.
The three steps:
1. I get things ready for whatever tomorrow morning will bring — errands, meetings, music, etc
2. I fix the coffee so it’s ready to be plugged in.
3. I lay out clothing for the next day (it gets planned out for the whole week on Saturday)
I tend to procrastinate taking an evening shower (why, I don’t know) and often end up taking it in the morning. So I’m going to add that as the fourth step for the rest of this month.
What a difference it makes in the morning when stuff is prepared, the coffee needs simply to be plugged in, and my clothes are ready for me to jump into! Although I still struggle with my larger evening routine and maybe need to re-structure it, these four steps make life a lot easier.
Definitely a part of “Finally Loving Yourself”!
Blessings.

Dear FlyLady,
As I am the Queen FlyBaby on the planet, I found that if I brush my teeth before anything else, I won’t eat, then get my bed ready, shower and my nightie on, I will have time to write in my journal, prayers, and read a little then lights out at a decent time.
If I deviate, I can turn 9:00 PM into 1:00 am!
Of course everything is picked up, clothes ready for next day and I have read my FlyLady calendar! This is all because of you!
Thank you and the gang so much.
