Hi Terri and thankyou. Newbie here. Great video. I am totally overwhelmed. I'm going to focus on getting the washing up done & shining the sinks this week - it's a start!x
Love the swish and swipe, it takes me literally 3 minutes to do this with the toilet, sink and quick wipe of the mirror, if needed. My daily favorite to have this simple task done!
Terri, I have felt defeated when it comes to my home for a long time. I was praying earlier this week that the Lord would show me some sort of inspiration for trying something new. Low and behold, I stumbled across your channel tonight, and I am over the moon excited. I just downloaded the app and can’t wait to keep following you.
That is how God works. I firmly believe God has a plan for my life that somehow helps people like me who are not naturally organized. He likes to use cracked pots so I know he can make this trial a blessing in spite of our imperfections. I’m here anytime you need prayer or encouragement!
This list is excellent!! I've been trying to get established in the Flylady system but these are the best for setting the foundation. Don't forget to reward yourself for your hard work!
Thanks! A lot of people get discouraged with the baby steps because it takes so long to get to the cleaning so I condensed it down. I love that you said reward yourself! I often forget my selfcare.
@@TodaywithTerriK By self care I mean I take a break and nibble a treat as I hide from my children. AHAHHAHA! I do need to remember self care more. I really love my husband so at night, I usually would rather spend time with him than go pamper myself. I need to though. He loves me just the way I am so I don't feel like I need to get dolled up or be fancy at all. My infant is almost weaned so I think life will get easier when I can just give her a bottle or a sippy cup rather than going to nurse her all the time. It is special and I will miss that sweet time but it is a natural part of her growing up to become more independent and I need some time to myself.
Glad to help! I do have a 31 day baby step tracker that’s really helped the Facebook group. You might enjoy the group facebook.com/groups/723582731477234/?ref=share_group_link
I do something similar. Im a tea dtimker, but my hubby can drink at leas 1 pot of coffee a day lol. And yes, I makre tgere's always coffe in the pot ir waiting to be brewed. In the morning, he 8sually dtill has coffee on the pot, so I just put fresh coffee in the coffee holder, and refill the water resevoir, then I put a sticky note on the front of the coffee maker "last cup? Just press start" with a smiley face. That reminds me that I already set it up for when I serve hom yhe vup, and it lets him now it's teady to brew if he t a kes the last cup. If I do it in yhe morning, then I usually fon't have to do it again until I dtatt making dinner. And this way, he rately runs out. '
Hi all , I'm mum of two little ones ( 3 years old and a 3 month ) found fly lady while pregnant but a bit overwhelmed. Love those videos but I can't find the tracker to print went through the information but no printable tracker 🙃?
FlyLady says to write the tasks on post it notes to remind the family (and you) what the routines are for the first few weeks until you create your "official" routine in your control journal.
Q: Do we really need to print a paper Control Journal? I have the app and already understand the concept of zone cleaning. I don’t like busywork or paper and the control journal doesn’t seem fun to me.
No, you do not have to if you have the app and it’s working for you. I printed mine and only pull it out if filming a scene about it. I love digital planning and creates a digital planner that has the zones in it. I also have just the control journal as a digital book in my Etsy shop. My advice is use what works best for you!
@TodaywithTerriK this! I already have several productivity tools because they each contribute to one aspect of how my brain processes my goals. I have the fly lady app, habitica, a basic..badic...and did I mention basic...paper calender and basic phone calendar app then I have sticky notes and and a notebook just incase I feel like I really need them. But all the other tools usually a4e plenty gor me. It's alot, but my brain seems to fluctuate as to witch tools it thrives best on. And some days I lean predominantly on the white board, some says the paper or digital calendar, some days the fly lady app, and others habitica. I still use all of the every day, but will depend on viewing one mire than the others, while just ticking off on the ones I don't need to view as much. It's not a perfect method, but it gives my brain flexibility to choose which one it wants to lean on that day.
Understand completely. I have recently added Notion for the channel planning and it’s amazing. Love paper but too many pens to carry around - my mind needs options.
Most smart phones have a timer. It's part of the clock app. Can even check how long it takes to do certain tasks like fit the bed with the stopwatch in the app as well
This is a brilliant kickstart/reset for when you have completely fallen of the Flylady-wagon. Many thanks!
It really is! I just trimmed down to the basics.
I totally agree with a load of laundry everyday

Just focus on one thing until you’re feeling good about it. You are not alone. Message me anytime!
LOVE YOUR PRAYS AND LOVE FOR GOD.........
Thank you. I’m growing by sharing.

It makes a world of difference on my hubby’s side…he slings water everywhere!
The flylady app now has a timer you can use as well! Thanks for sharing your tips on flylady with us. It really helps with motivation.
Thanks for sharing!!

Great video. Don't forget there's a timer in the Flylady Plus ap! Very handy.
@@TodaywithTerriK top right corner. Little circle next to the person icon
My app doesn’t have that . No circle next to the person .
Are you using the FLYLADY Plus version?
My app doesn’t have one .
@@ArtwithMrsTorres yes I'm using the plus version. Maybe try updating the app?
@@ArtwithMrsTorres also.... I checked out your art videos. So cute and very soothing. 🙂
Great video!!!!
Thanks!!
This!!! Thank you so much!!

Frozen drinks!
Hello from Switzerland ❤
Hi from Tennessee, USA. Thank you for joining. What would you like to see in an upcoming video?
I like to set up my coffee maker as part of my afternoon routine. That way all I have to do is flip a switch in the morning.
Love that!

How often do you deep clean the sink?
Only when it really needs it. Every night I empty it, rinse it, and wipe it down which only takes a 2-3 minutes.
That’s a ton faster!
