"There is no bad weather, only inappropriate clothing." I definitely need to apply this to myself but for sure will be telling it to my children who complain about playing outside.
Yes, get outside and play with them! LOL!
@@DianeinDenmark not if we end up moving to Grand Rapids, Michigan. Me and snow are not friends. LOL
Loved this quote!
I finally have a control journal that works for me and love it. I don't wipe off the marks until they are all checked off if I don't get to them each week. That way I know where to pick up next time I'm in the zone. EARLY this morning I couldn't sleep so I went to the laundromat to wash the oversized comforters which won't fit in my machine. Antiprocrastination day came early for me this week. Checked that one off from next week. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Reading my mind again? I have some CJ basics, but have still been feeling lost about organization. This is EXACTLY what I needed today to help me get focused...not just the content, but the kick in the bahookie (?) to get me back on track with what I had already started. Thank you, thank you,thank you.
One more thing I wanted to thank you for: You are kind enough to let us know when you are having a “blah” sort of day and giving us the opportunity of watching you work your way through it, doing what needs done even when your bratty side is telling you to rebel, or whatever, and making it possible for us to see it still CAN be done...and once it’s done (or even started), how much better we can feel about the day and about ourselves. Go You and Go Us!
So glad you share with us. 💗🥰
Just love having my coffee in the morning with you, you look radiant today. Thanks for making the video, very helpful, will be making one today. Have a great weekend!
You’ve made such a difference in my life! I love you!
I would be lost without my control journal. Each day it brings me back to tasks I need to do. "Oh yes, I still need to scoop out the cat litter". "Wet clothes to dryer". I don't stress if I don't get it all done. But I do feel very accomplished when I do. I am the person with the long list of things to do each day. But it has worked for me and it doesn't take as much time as I used to think it would.
I got some awesome ideas from this video for improvement. For one, our power went off a few days ago. I was having a terrible time finding the number to call to report it the power company. Almost cursing, "why isn't the number on the front of this phone book". I am going to make that emergency telephone number chart. Love ya Diane.
Ha ha! Glad you will have the emergency numbers handy next time!
Making my journal today. Nothing fancy, just writing all out and getting my plastic sleeves! Rah, rah, rah! 😁
I use checklists for the zones , because after a month i forget what i did last time in the zones, and a little notebook for things to do or buy, that works for me. Have a nice weekend!
Good Morning Diane ☀️ thank you for this video. I just found you 2 weeks ago and have been implementing everything. But I needed to start my control journal 📔 and began it last night but will be finishing it today. This gave me some good ideas. Thank you for all you do! ☺️ Following this plan is making my days easier. XO
Thank you for inspiration and a mental boost. I love how you are so open about menopausal brain mush. My mom calls it intellectual overload. Have a wonderful weekend.
Great video Diane, I tried using the Flylady app on my phone, but I went back to using a folder ‘hard copy’ as it was much more user friendly for me 😊
LOL! Yes, been there done that. Old school is sometimes best 💪😄
Same here. Glad I am not alone. 🧺❤🧺
Me too! There are certain things that I want no tech. This is one of them. Except for printing off what I need to put in it! :D
Thank you, I'm sorting papers and sheet music today. I love having tick lists,and I WILL post that form...the one I filled in last week and keep forgetting to put in my bag! Xx
You are so organized and a wealth of useful ideas!
6 am EST in USA. I love your energy and hopefulness.
Love your channel, you brighten my day with every post. Challenge excepted, I will start a control journal this weekend. Thank you for all your inspiration!!
I love my control journal too. It helps me with staying focused. I recently updated mine because we are now semi empty nesters because my daughter is at university. I simplified my journal to incorporate new routines. I like the ideas of things to add to mine. The emergency numbers are great because changes are if the power is down then the WiFi doesn't work. I also have a holiday journal which needs update now. Happy Weekend!
I love my Control Journal, too! I’m also way post menopausal but I don’t think it’s that my brain has gone to mush, I think it’s just that I’m so much more busy and social since we’ve retired! Even though I pretty much have my dailies memorized, I need my Journal to stay on focus with everything else. 💝🦋
Love the video and i love your shirt! But I think you should sell shirts with ‘rarara’ on it... 😆 I would ware them all the time! 😁👍🏻
LOL! Great idea! 😄🎉🎉🎉
I've read her book and tried following the steps on her website, but I could never quite follow it. Your videos have been a great help. I've finally been able to grasp the main concept, adapt and apply it to my life. It gives me such peace of mind to see my house clean, know that I have a plan and not feel overwhelmed. One adaptation that has helped me that you mention in this video is to adapt the Daily Focus to what works for you. I work night shifts, 3 on, 3 off, 3 on, 5 off. I've really struggled to get a good routine. So what I've done is instead of going by the day of the week, I go by which off day it is. So Day off 1 is my errand day, day off 2 is Home Blessing Day, Day off 3 is Misc Day (Car, purse, pet, outdoor), day off 4/Work day 1 is Desk Day (since it's a sitting down job and I can mostly rest before my first night shift of three). Every other week I have the 5th day off which is my Me day, that's when I take care of myself, do fun things, go out on a date, etc. The days I work I don't do much, just pretty much sleep, do my routines, spend the little time I have with family and take care of myself. It's been working so far. I just love to have a system so my brain can rest.
That's brilliant, Carla! Yes, you change the days to suit your working life - the main thing is that you now have a plan 😀
If we've been decluttering properly Diane, we will not have old sheet protectors lying around. 😆 Thank you for your encouragement and reminder that we don't have to run out and buy ALL new things. But there are just some of us who like to have their organizational system look pretty for motivation.
That's great, Jenny! Make it as pretty as you like. As long as you get it made and use it, I am happy! LOL!
I'm still unpacking and have not yet found my Housekeeping notebook! I'll work on that tomorrow... However, I am following the Zones with you as my focus for not only cleaning, but getting each room put together and "finished". Last week I got the extra bedroom and hall bathroom done, and this week I did my bedroom and bath. This included things like making curtains, hanging pictures, and finding a place for everything! Last night I finally slept in a perfectly clean AND TIDY bedroom that looks lovely. Next week I will work on the family room in the lower level... Where the last of the boxes are stashed... And I hope to find MY notebook!
That is a great idea, Suzi - glad you are settling in!
I am just in the process of making my control journal...thanks for the great tips!! 😊
Sundays are my spa days. Thanks for the plans.
Thank you for all of your helpful videos!!! ❤️
Thank you! Great time of year to refresh the journal before the Halloween through Valentines holiday season. I am replacing the customization-noted pages with fresh lists of what works for me. I am adding adding a "telephone workout" page to help me remember all the exercises my Physical Therapist is giving me. I love putting the speaker phone on and getting my PT exercises done at the same time. I am adding a page to check/ measure number of glasses of water that I am drinking (otherwise I cannot remember). Wednesday is now "Weigh-in Wednesday and Anti-procrastination Day." At the back, I am adding one page for each holiday so I can make "brain dump" notes as I think of things. AN IDEA IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE.
❤🍁❤🎅❤🍗❤🥂❤🎃❤🎁❤🛷❤🏖❤⛄🧹📕🧺🛒
Oooh! And a Gratitude page to remember who I want to thank with a letter, tea towel or candle or just remember in my prayers. I just bought a few Halloween tea towels for friends that I have not contacted in awhile. This gives me great joy. ❤
Great ideas, Eileen! 🖖
❤️Thank you for this video...I really needed it to be refreshed‼️❤️👌
Thank you for all your instructions and encouragements! How did you and your friends meet and become such pals? That is a rare gift
Through a baby group and school 😀
Diane, thank you so much for showing your raincoat and trousers, I have not seen these here, but maybe I just have to look better! I have started using my bike more often just recently and everything is new for me. Every bit of info is highly appreciated! ❤👍
Sports shops usually have them 🖐
Thank you so much for this video! It really helped me to get started. I needed the direction!! Can’t wait to part 2!! 😁
Yay, go you for starting, Pat!
This is AWESOME!! ❤
Great video, thanks Diane!
Thanks, this is a really helpful video. I’ve changed my days around to fit in with my working days - working outside the home I mean :-)
Thank you so much for this video Diane. I must start with my journal.
Yes, Zulfah - go start it right now! I'm shaking my pom poms for you! 😄🎉🎉🎉
@@DianeinDenmark Hi Diane. Hope you are well. I've started my FLY lady journal and I'm super excited for the next episode to see what comes next. Thank you so much.
Thank you!! Have a wonderful weekend 🤗
You, too, Tess! 🖐😍
I started watching your vids and "flying" this March. But it took me awhile to make my control journal (I didn't buy a thing 😉). I thought I could remember it all 🤣🤣🤣. Now I consult the zone checklists I made when I'm in each zone because... Menopause 😱! I got a few new ideas from this vid (wifi pword!) so thank you. May I ask where you keep your binder so that it's handy but not cluttering a surface? 🤔
Mine is thin and lives beside the bread bin, or in a kitchen drawer if I want it out of the way.
I LOVE your pink blazer!
I'm new to your channel and I'm looking at all your videos absolutely love your positivity
Welcome here, Teresa!
@@DianeinDenmark thank you
Brilliant!
Car, bags are good. Cleaned dust off my suitcase while cleaning the garage. Today is give the bath a good clean. It is very sorted, without much in it. I am cooking some meals ahead for us, in case of power loss. We say tarmac back in Virginia, they just say asphalt paving here in Montana. All three of my sons have the same Birthdate but in different years!
Wow, how cool is that, Jeanne! One huge birthday cake? LOL!
Diane in Denmark When little yes, but half had to choc , the other vanilla! Now they live in different areas. My son here asked for cheesecake for his birthday dinner. I am glad the house is always company ready, I do not like to make a fuss. My WHB day is Sunday, so it will be good tomorrow. We were concerned that weather might get us snowed in, since other areas received several feet of snow!
Morning! I remember the story about tarmac from school, I don’t know why they told us that! They have elasticated pen pouches on Amazon, just in case that’s helpful for anyone xx
Thanks, Lucie, and enjoy your Clothes Swap party today! 🎉🎉🎉
I made my elasticated pen pouch with an old soft glasses case and a piece of elastic. Works great!
Thank you - will be adding tickler pages to my control journal (love GTD as well)
❤️👏🏻thx🤓
Hi u always rock
Wonderful video!
What brand is that cleaning tray on your sink?
Rig-Tig sink caddy by Stelton...you can see it in close up here. This is a question I get asked ALL THE TIME! LOL! th-cam.com/video/4CG6yt9fgWk/w-d-xo.html
I found my pen holder in paperchase in the UK it has a rubber holder about GBP 5 I think
All the way from India.. but I do get a lot of inspiration from your videos. Would like to know your reading habits, how do you manage time and do you set targets to complete books too...I absolutely love those videos a lot...
Hi Nandini! I read a chaper or two when I am in bed, before turning off the lights. And usually also when I am eating my lunch. It's self-care time for me 😀
Yes tarmac is what I call it but here in Australia no one knows what I mean.
mary odwyer Yay 🇦🇺 here and we call it tarmac too 👍
Fascinating! What do they call it there, Mary?
Diane in Denmark In the US we call it asphalt (if it’s what the roads are made of) 😀
bitumen
Do you have tips for the evening dinner . Do you cook everyday ?and how long are you busy with that ? It took me always one hour i want to do that also 15 minutes😂😂😂do you have tips?
I cook every day and wash up/put away as I go along (that dramatically cuts down clean up time). Here's my recipes playlist! th-cam.com/play/PLxIYCyTLBED8ZP5_UDGRXUAvbPiuxOh95.html

Here in the USA, they "blacktop pave roads" which is equivalent to tarmac, I'm guessing. Tar with small granite stones imbedded into the road, tamped down with a riding roller machine to smooth it all out.
Ruth Manor Pavement, asphalt, blacktop, tarmac....all these are familiar, well-used terms here in the U.S. Guess it just depends on which neighborhood you live in. When I was little, we loved going out after the tar went on and grabbing globs and chewing it like gum! Gross, eh?
When I hear the word tarmac, to me, it means the airport runway.
@@gingerstrahan7464 lol...same. Looking back it's horrendous to think about but yes, we'd chew on the soft tar and also excitedly ran behind the mosquito spraying trucks. It's a wonder we're still alive! ( missouri here)
You have such beautiful tea towels. But why always two instead of one. I only use mine to dry my hands. What's your second one for?
Drying dishes or pots and pans 🖐
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💖💖💖💖💞💞💕💞💕
Hello Diane, I have a question. I have one paper with my morning, afternoon en evening routine. All the other things I have in my computer (e.g. reminders in my electronic agenda, a document with the daily focusses etc.). Do you think it is better to have it (also) on paper in a non-digital folder as you have? And if so, can you explain why?
Have a nice weekend!
I think it's essential to have a hard copy as backup inn case your power goes out xx
Carol gave a great reply. Also, I like to use it on days when things are difficult...if I start looking at my telephone, I get sucked into other things on my telephone! LOL!
Which power, mine or that of the computer? The first option is most to expect...🙁
Well, than I have to find Some time to write everything from my digital calender on paper... 😦
@@1970Marijke No need to do that. You are an adult, decide what works for you 👋😃
@@DianeinDenmark Me? An adult? Thats fake! 😂
Im lost!! I saw one of your videos that showed a calendar where things change month to month. I watched thru video 4. When to dust, mop etc. Help!
Hi Char! My Flylady Refresher Course videos are here (you're looking for WHB, right?) Flylady Refresher Course
th-cam.com/play/PLxIYCyTLBED-1vdMwaAhm7Z_3Br__gals.html
Thank you so much!
I use my iPad Pro and my Apple Pencil for my control journal. Definitely didn’t buy it for that purpose, though, on account of not being an utter nutter.
Magicme79 this made me 😄
Magicme79 You should try the Homeroutines App! It works well for Flylady system and also Clean Mama system.
27 items, it will be demotivating. Exactly, what I did before fly lady, and was not consistent.
Was there a cut in the video? or did she just film an almost 18 min video in one go?
In Canada we call it “tar McAdam”, now I know why!
