Dear FlyLady,
I found you a while ago, but I've been a bit hopeless (really do need to start the babysteps yet again, glad I can just jump in!)


Tonight the husband is out at church, I finally got the kids to sleep and I just wanted to flop, however my living room after a weekend of children and an unexpected visit from my parents looked like a bomb went off. Actually, who am I kidding it's been a variation on that for ages but I kept telling myself I needed a full day to sort through the kids toys, so the mess grew. Then I thought of all those FlyLady emails and realized I was just making excuses and I could do 15 minutes, anythings better than nothing, but I didn't expect to see much difference. I took a photo so I could compare, I've attached it, though I'm embarrassed to show you how I've been living!

Well after 15 minutes it was much improved but a ways to go so I took another pic and set the timer for another 15.

Wow, 30 minutes to do what I'd been putting off for weeks.

It's still very cluttered, but now as I begin to try and fly yet again, I can actually get to the clutter in manageable chunks and maybe with 15 minutes a day in a couple of weeks the room will be a different place!
 

Thank you
Jo (wanting to fly in the UK)

FlyLady here: Jo, I am so proud of you! Anytime you can quiet those words, "I don't have time!" means you are FLYing! Changing your mind is the hardest part. This is why reading our emails causes our FlyWashing to eventually sink in. If you will commit to reading only 5 emails a day; your life will change.

There are times when we just need to focus to get it done. We will rest better when we do. Don't over-do! 30 minutes is tops!

Are you new to FlyLady? We are discontinuing several items check out our Last Chance Items.
