Dear FlyLady,
Thank you so much for making your wonderful program available online and for helping us chaotic people get organized for free!
I found out about you in October 2015, one month after giving birth to my first child. All my life I hated tidying, cleaning, laundry, all those things that keep piling up. We definitely had the Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome (Chaos) in our house most of the time and I would have to frantically clean an entire day or two before having company. Needless to say, the thought of having surprise visitors was my worst nightmare!!
Life has changed since having my DD. I now can’t drop everything for two days before having guests. And we have been having visitors very frequently these past five months. I decided to give your baby steps a shot, started doing my routines daily, decluttered 15 minutes a day etc.. And lo and behold! it worked!!!
Flying has been a solution for many of my problems. I don’t even know where to begin. The one load of laundry per day thing: genius! It takes such little time to get that one load folded and put away. No more Mt. Washmore! I love how the swish and swipe and the shiny sink, the morning and evening routines, how these habits help me have a peaceful home! I love going into my kitchen in the morning, at 7 am, an hour before my almost 5 month old wakes up, and taking in the peace and quiet of this beautiful clean space. I took your advice, and always take a moment to smile at the sight of my clean kitchen right then. When did this for the first time it felt really awkward and I realized how little I think of myself and my accomplishments. I’m very down to earth and I just don’t smile for no reason when I’m by myself.(especially not in the morning – I’m not a morning person LOL)
It felt weird in my face, but good in my heart. I feel like I’m slowly changing from the grumpy nagging martyr to a content and pleasant mother and wife. How cool is that?!
Another thing you said proved to be true: My husband started picking up after himself WAY more than before. Clutter attracts clutter, and now that there’s no more clutter, dishes in the sink, piles of letters and paper work, my husband started to put things away without me asking! He saw my morning routine post-it, and has started to pick one or two items from the list and does them without being asked while I nurse our little one in the morning.
I love your program! I actually stopped half way through the baby steps because it just clicked, things were happening naturally, and I felt that I was ready to fly. I love how I don’t have to think, how I just follow routines and flight plans and missions and somehow with no more than 1 hour a day spent on housework, the house it peaceful and clean. I love the home blessing hour and how it’s not about being perfect! I love timing myself and being amazed at how much I got done in 15 minutes! I could go on and on and on. Thank you so so much! You have made a huge difference in our lives!
