I found your blog many years ago, while I was going through chemo. I felt so overwhelmed and lost at the time. I was raising 3 kids alone and my life was a mess. You saved my life and my sanity. Thank you so much. I'm happy that I have now found your videos.
I watched this out of curiosity. Having been an organized and obsessive cleaner I have helped many people by teaching them how to keep their homes clean and organized. The biggest problem I have seen is that people have waaay too much stuff. If people would just get rid of the excessive junk their homes would be a breeze to clean and organize. That is the key. I can’t stress that enough. I actually worked for a lady that was an organizer for other people, and her house was a disaster. A great lady and an awesome mom. But she wouldn’t stop buying. The larger the house the more junk it contains. Good for you in helping people get a routine to at least teach them how to clean their massive amounts of stuff.
You’re so right!! The definite first step is to de clutter. Getting rid of stuff is an ongoing process. It’s not done just once. Makes the process so much easier when you have less stuff to take care of
I can't tell you how much this video is encouraging me💜💜👍, everything you spoke about is me,wow. I've been in chaos for years.. I've been married almost 14 years and I have been beating myself up for all these years because I have not been able to change and I honestly have been in tears over it. My husband has been frustrated with me and I feel defeated and would love to have people over but just have rooms that are filled with stuff. It drives me nuts. I want to thank you so much for speaking about being good to ourselves and having grace and being in progress, that makes such a difference!😊👍 I realize that I need to learn to take baby steps... I grew up in a house where we had to do everything quite perfectly and so I think my biggest struggle has been that I haven't allowed myself to do baby steps because I have this notion that I should be able to do it all. I see other moms that seem like super moms and are able to do it all it feels, but I'm sure that must not be true but it just definitely seems that way. Anyhow thank you so much for your encouragement in support.😁👍 On a different note I kept getting distracted in your video probably because of my slightly ADD mind that I kept thinking I saw snow out your windows and thought "where do you live in August where there's snow?", lol!😂
In discovered this at the beginning of the Pandemic and it helped so much. Absolutely agree with these principles. Get up get dressed even in shoes!!! Take the dog out , throw in the laundry , unload the dishwasher . Take my water and vitamins . Do my swish and swipe for day. Throw something in the crock pot. These habits have stuck with me four years later.😀
I am starting fresh today, my sink is clean and shiny and i have done a load of laundry. I found you years back, and i kind of followed your system. This time i am commited to implement everything, maybe even including a pair of indoor shoes this time round.
I just restarted the program, signed my BabySteps contract and everything! I’m so excited. I used to love doing Swish & Swipe because our bathrooms were always sparkling clean and company ready. I needed surgery so I had to fall back on my activities, but almost 3 months out I’m so ready to get my home back. Thank you for everything. ❤ you are truly helping people.
It's so wonderful how God just knows what you need at the right time. Hey Marla, I was a Flybaby a long time ago, 2015 to be exact, and I was doing great for 3 plus years, then I started working again and it all went downhill. I worked for a major retail store for almost 4 years and in that time I developed chronic pain, I became depressed, and burnt out and don't even get me started on my house. I've been floundering the last few years, but today I decided to change for the better. Something told me to look your system up again, and I found this playlist and it was EXACTLY what I needed to hear right now, thank you so much for always being consistent and being there to help us who need it the most.
You have been an amazing inspiration for me. I have followed your path of skills for years. Now I seem to need help again. My mom has been going the some major medical issues and this has caused me to fall into a big depression for several months. My home is never clean and I’m not doing a good job keeping up. I have teen girls also. I’m not sure how to work myself out of this rut and at least take care of my home and family again.
Thank the Lord! I’m finally starting this after knowing about FLYing for decades! I bought the book and read over half of it out loud on a long road trip with my 35 yo daughter. And…I’m confused"🤪 So this video is a God send.😇❤️
I have failed at the Flylady method since I first bought the book and the calendar probably 15 yearsago. Ijust can't keep up with the dishes. We have a homestead and cook every meal from scratch. My house is in CHAOS!! I'm watching this because I need to get it together. I think I'm going to have to bypass step 1, because Ican stand at the sink all day and never finish, and then I tell myself I'm a failure. But if I start somewhere else, maybe I'll succeed this time.
Thank you for visiting me in my home this morning, my virtual friend. This is my favorite video recently. I like your sweet voice encouraging me better than the music. I'm sure its just me, but I like to listen to people who know what they are talking about. I am convinced you are the only one on youtube who knows what its like to strugle with homemaking, even though I love this season of my life when I can finally be a stay at home wife to my husband of 33 years, who I love so much. It's a lot more fun being his wife than his business partner. Our children are grown now and have their own lives and I have battled depression alot. Thank you so much for your wisdom.
I have inattentive ADD ... I literally watch Day 1 and Day 8 EVERY single WEEK 😂 On repeat 🔁 ...JUST TO GET THINGS DONE around here ✅ HUGE HELP !!!! 💖🙏🏻💖
💓💓💓💓💓 The FlyLady Calendar is the first FlyLady Tool I bought out of the tools offered. Thank you Marla for giving us the opportunity to buy things that work well when we work it! 💓💓💓💓💓
Hey Flylady! It's good to see you are still doing this. I followed you a LONG time ago when you sent out e-mails several times a day because email was the only tool there was. I was a home schooling mom of 2 young boys and you helped save my sanity -- even though I didn't even follow it all the way. Thank you so much!
Just me, so it would cost me a fortune to do laundry every day. Would cost $150.00 a month. So I 'll have to adapt for my needs. Lots of ads, hope you make a nice chunk of change Flylady, what a blessing you are.
I am looking forward to getting back to some order. We are moving in 10 days time and the cluttered feeling with having boxes everywhere is giving me serious anxiety.
Thank you Marla - you are my heroine! I am able to stay focused on getting things done in an organised way, which helps my Inattentive ADD. Love you from South Africa
FLYLADY! I found u in the App Store today while looking for help with organizing my life, as I’m having a midlife crisis lol or possibly one of many haha anyway… I don’t do Facebook so was sooo happy to see you here on TH-cam!!! Where have I been? lol Doesn’t matter cause luckily for me it’s like I’m starting from the beginning with u guys and not so far behind. Thanks so much for this content Flylady! This is my Bday month so it’s a perfect new start. Very excited and grateful 🙏🏻💁🏼♀️💕
Thank you so much! I've read one of your books and been working on implementing your system for a few months now. But needed a refresher. Here we go! Just what I needed. I'm one of those chading down forks all over the house. ❤
I’m very ill, can’t be up for more than a couple hours a day, and those hours are not focused or productive, for the most part because of serious health issues and severe pain. I loved Fly Lady many many years ago (almost 20 years ago! Wow!) and feel like I need to restart on a very basic level. I’m panicking right now because we haven’t done our taxes yet (we’ve never skipped before!) and I cannot find the paperwork that I had gathered no matter how much I’m tearing this place apart. I think we owe for the first time ever, and I’m horrified! And I’m not organized, nor am I putting the place back together. My house is really really in bad shape and I’m ashamed. Well… how’s that for a TH-cam confession?! 😱 I have no clue where to start right now and feel like I’m getting choked. I just want to climb back under my covers. I’m not even eating much because I’m not well enough to wash dishes… oh Jesus, help!
Focus on getting well! I will be praying for you! I rebuke any demon attacking your body in the name of Jesus! If you can get out of bed put your shoes on if you can
@@TheFLYLADY Oh, Flylady, AMEN! I didn’t know you are also a believer! I have been praying for healing for many years, and still believe in Jesus’ work to make me whole. Thank you for joining me today- you are my “where two or three gather in My Name” today. I will think of your Step One and put my working shoes on when I get up next. It really does help! I’ve been praying for you and the whole area today that the storms will not cause damage. I love how you have a channel and awesome website now! I was an original Flybaby, and you helped me navigate my young mother years! My boys have grown up and moved out now - time flies! Much love and blessings to you. 💝
Just me, so it would cost me a fortune in my apartment to do laundry every day. Would cost $150.00 a month. So I 'll have to adapt for my needs. Lots of ads, hope you make a nice chunk of change Flylady, what a blessing you are.
How does everyone clean in clothes they're gonna wear that day? I get in absolute mess cleaning, my shirt is soaked in dirty water and stains when I do dishes. I have to wear old ruined clothes to clean then get dressed when I have to leave the house. I would like to be ready for the day when I get up, how does everyone do it and not get the dirt on ur clothes
An apron does wonders :-) I slop everything on myself no matter how careful I am. You can get anything from a classic 50's housewife frilly/silly apron or a simple restaurant style one.
The Best thing I ever did about laundry was switched my bra's and panties, to colored one's. Now, I don't have to sort. lol I do put my bra's in a zippered bag to wash, as well as some special socks I have so they don't get nick's in them. As soon as I have a load to wash, I wash it. No matter what it is. I have a place that I put my towels and another place for my rags/mop heads, etc. Thanks to FlyLady!
Buongiorno fly lady...ho conosciuto il suo metodo da poco... Vorrei imparare... Perché sono disordinatissimA e se riesco a mettere in ordine un giorno in una stanza ill giorno dopo ritorna come un boomerang.... Voglio essere ordinata... Sto male a vedere casa mia in disordine totale. Sono italiana sarei felice se mi insegnasse un po' sull ordine. E molto felice se mi desse una risposta in italiano. Grazie in anticipo❤️🙏
I’m brand new (hi 👋) and I would NOT be mad if I woke up to find dirty dishes in the sink. One kid is 5, so she can barely reach it, the other one is 17 and acts like she doesn’t know what a sink or dishwasher are 🤦🏻♀️
If you hang things as soon as the dryer stops you won't have soooo much ironing to do. I set a timer so I can get the laundry out immediately and I rarely iron now. (Hope this helps) FlyCrew member, Paddi
@drpaddi my mom taught me to hang as you go. She opens her dryer, takes out 2 pieces, starts dryer again, hangs, and repeats until everything is out. It really is faster and more productive. I never have clean laundry laying around.
Awesome!!! 🎉
Just found you today! ❤
I wash by hand. I have a family of 6. But this concept still works.
Even if I wash 10 shirts or ten dresses a day it works better than looking for 3 hours to do laundry
I live in Kenya and most families are yet to have machines
We are so very proud of you for find a way to make the routines work with what you have. Hugs to you, (FlyLady & Team)
I am also from Kenya. I have a family of 5 and really struggle with laundry. Definately trying this out
This brings tears to my eyes. My growing up home was chaotic and dysfunctional..never witnessed daily routines. Thank you for your encouragement.
I found your blog many years ago, while I was going through chemo. I felt so overwhelmed and lost at the time. I was raising 3 kids alone and my life was a mess. You saved my life and my sanity. Thank you so much. I'm happy that I have now found your videos.
I watched this out of curiosity. Having been an organized and obsessive cleaner I have helped many people by teaching them how to keep their homes clean and organized. The biggest problem I have seen is that people have waaay too much stuff. If people would just get rid of the excessive junk their homes would be a breeze to clean and organize. That is the key. I can’t stress that enough. I actually worked for a lady that was an organizer for other people, and her house was a disaster. A great lady and an awesome mom. But she wouldn’t stop buying. The larger the house the more junk it contains. Good for you in helping people get a routine to at least teach them how to clean their massive amounts of stuff.
You’re so right!!
The definite first step is to de clutter. Getting rid of stuff is an ongoing process. It’s not done just once. Makes the process so much easier when you have less stuff to take care of
Thank you for your powerful prayer, and love! Finally Loving Myself, my goal. I am not alone.
Thank you from Germany. I have a daily battle against "the chair" . Sending blessings ❤🙏.
We are so proud of you for defeating the battle with "The Chair". (FlyLady & team)

I am starting fresh today, my sink is clean and shiny and i have done a load of laundry. I found you years back, and i kind of followed your system. This time i am commited to implement everything, maybe even including a pair of indoor shoes this time round.
Those indoor shoes are doing to change so much in your day. They tell your head it is time to switch into high gear and get things done.
I didn’t have my mom close to me ti guide me on how to do everything on a home so when I married I was lost but with you I been learning a lot thanks
Thank you Fly Lady! We watch everyday to keep our family on track. You make a difference in our day and my kids know your name. Thank you from Florida
So excited you’re starting at the beginning! I really need this! Thank you! Thank you! 😊
I just restarted the program, signed my BabySteps contract and everything!
I’m so excited. I used to love doing Swish & Swipe because our bathrooms were always sparkling clean and company ready.

You are SUCH A BLESSING!!!!! 🩷🌷💗🩷🌷
Jumping back in ...on the bandwagon. 😊

Thank you for starting august this way! I am new to all this and really need help. I’m so glad this is here.
This woman just makes so much sense!! 💛

Spend a few days de-cluttering and it will help you and save you money on moving (FlyCrew)
Thank you FlyLady! I needed to hear this. I am looking forward to getting back on track!!! Lord bless you and keep you!!! 🙏🏽💕
I am inspired too
I have to remind myself to remove negative emotions and negative self talk from the task.
I'm baaack. I can't take the CHAOS anymore.
Absolutely love this. Thank you for getting us back to basics. ❤❤❤
Thank you Marla - you are my heroine! I am able to stay focused on getting things done in an organised way, which helps my Inattentive ADD. Love you from South Africa

I read your book years ago and just found your app AWESOME! Thank you so much!
Thank you!!! I;m going to start over again with you Lord- willing! Thanks especially for the prayer at the end! heart💕
Thank you so much! I've read one of your books and been working on implementing your system for a few months now. But needed a refresher. Here we go! Just what I needed. I'm one of those chading down forks all over the house. ❤
Been TRAUMATIZED & my Life is A MESS. 😭 Trying Again...
Tonight for us it's baked salmon we caught. Corn from the freezer, instant emergency potatoes from the pantry, and chocolate pudding for dessert.
You are a genius!! Thank you!!

I need this reboot. Thank you.
love you in this shade blue and black ❤
Thank you Flylady, from Virginia. God bless
Just ordered my 2024 calendar!!!! I need some kind of structure , things always seem chaotic now!!!
Just me, so it would cost me a fortune in my apartment to do laundry every day. Would cost $150.00 a month. So I 'll have to adapt for my needs. Lots of ads, hope you make a nice chunk of change Flylady, what a blessing you are.
We swapped it out for a wash day when we were RVing and used a laundromat. You just do what works:).
How does everyone clean in clothes they're gonna wear that day? I get in absolute mess cleaning, my shirt is soaked in dirty water and stains when I do dishes. I have to wear old ruined clothes to clean then get dressed when I have to leave the house. I would like to be ready for the day when I get up, how does everyone do it and not get the dirt on ur clothes
Maybe you are in a big hurry! Slow Down! Stay focused. If you need to change clothes. You can do this!
An apron does wonders :-) I slop everything on myself no matter how careful I am. You can get anything from a classic 50's housewife frilly/silly apron or a simple restaurant style one.
Yes. I use an apron or I also have a fly lady vest I bought awhile back.
Buy yourself 3 aprons that you love.
I love you Fly Lady 🥲❤
Is there any episodes on cleaning master closet?
Thank you for this talk! New subbie here. Take care
The Best thing I ever did about laundry was switched my bra's and panties, to colored one's.

I love this! I need to start over!
What's for October, November and December?
Trying to write this down to an on the wall!
Just starting❤️
Thank you❤
Great review!

Oh my gosh, 🙂 soo awesome!

How often will you have videos?
Amazing
No more calendars 😢
The calendar is sold out😩
What are the official air times? I'm in arizona ( or pacific time ... usually )
Iti s at 11: AM and 3:00 PM Eastern time.
I’m brand new (hi 👋) and I would NOT be mad if I woke up to find dirty dishes in the sink. One kid is 5, so she can barely reach it, the other one is 17 and acts like she doesn’t know what a sink or dishwasher are 🤦🏻♀️
💓💓💓💓💓
Question? Why are their other women posting Fly lady instructions?? I’m getting reacquainted to you and I’m wondering why there are others?
❤❤❤ 🤲🙏
Even with the laundromat?
Laundry day works better for Laundromat:). Do what works for you. Maybe just look through the house and pick up laundry daily. :)
❤
Is this tea time?
Getting dressed to shoes is hard for me to do everyday!
Why do you think that is? Do you put your clothes out the nighr befoe?
I HATE shoes lol went feral a few years ago. 🤷♀️
Hay
Is she a therapist because she uses what a lot of therapist use sink bed clothes etc
🤣🤣
I guess ironing comes in the laundry somewhere. That’s one of my biiiiiiiggggg issues.
If you hang things as soon as the dryer stops you won't have soooo much ironing to do. I set a timer so I can get the laundry out immediately and I rarely iron now. (Hope this helps) FlyCrew member, Paddi
@drpaddi my mom taught me to hang as you go. She opens her dryer, takes out 2 pieces, starts dryer again, hangs, and repeats until everything is out. It really is faster and more productive. I never have clean laundry laying around.
Just heard of you 🩷
Thank you. ❤❤
