This video was long overdue! I made sure to include all of the daily focuses and how long it takes for me to get my whole daily routine done. Are you brand new to the system? Head over to facebook and join our flylady baby steps group, we start day 1 on Monday! facebook.com/thesecretslob

This was a really great explanation to simplify things. I am a floundering flybaby but love your enthusiasm and positiveness. One item to add is that, especially for working moms, the weekly home blessing can be split up over the week if they dont have time just on Monday. Thank you again for all you do for us. I especially love your weekly sheets. Having everything on one page makes it less complicated and more doable. We love you!

Hello from New York! New subscriber. Thank you for the motivation and energetic approach! Wish I had found your channel years ago! Thank you for simplifying the fly lady system. Many of us try to do too much and feel so overwhelmed by the site or book. Just need to get up and get going. Bless you and your family.

Pamela Lowe Thank you for such nice comments!

Today is my FlyLady ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!! I’m so grateful for this system. It has improved every aspect of my home life. With 4 kids (ages 8-17), it has been a godsend. A word to the newbies: I spent the first 10 months JUST getting my daily routines down pat. In fact, the only routine I did for the first 6 weeks was shining my sink at night before bed. It’s all that I could handle at that point in my life. And it has only been in the past two months that I’ve been able to add zone cleaning. There is no “one way” to the FlyLady system. Marla Cilly (the FlyLady) always says that housework done incompletely still blesses your family.

Flylady site is the whole enchilada and offers different levels of interactions and support for people in different situations. And yes it works for someone to break down for you. Her site is needed as she is the source.

I found the Fly Lady years ago when I was still married and a stay at home mom. Her system worked great for me then. I used it (combined with other things) to maintain my home. It worked great. I haven't had a system since before 2014 and it shows. I promised myself that I would find a way to make it work as a single, working mom of four. Part of my plan is to put the kids to work to complete some of these tasks! ❤️. Your video helped a lot! I just needed a quick template to get started again!

I've been a Flybaby ever since my daughter was a little tiny girl, and now she's 22! I've somewhat fallen off the flywagon now and again, but the basic strategies and mentality never really left me. The setting a timer and realizing just how LITTLE time most tasks actually take, has been an enormous benefit for which I am forever grateful. It's so fabulous how many people's lives have been improved by Marla, all because she had the courage to share her struggles and her brilliant problem solving mind with all of us.

THE best introduction to Fly Lady that I've seen.

Steph, I have been watching you for about a year. I watched several other "fly ladies" and when I found your vlog I knew I had found the One. I confess, I have been overwhelmed by this system. When you offered the printables, I thought that was a great idea. I printed each one, studied it, trying to make it work for my house and was still confused. This video was what I needed. Clear, concise, and in black and white. This described exactly how the tasks fit in the time frame. Love your enthusiasm and the occasional appearances by all your family members. Also, I like the" Hi guys"

I totally wish this video would have been out when I first started trying to do the Fly Lady System. It's simplifies absolutely everything. Thank you so much Steph! ☺️

I’m a perfectionist so not being able to clean my whole house everyday with long work days and 4 animals, is fustration.Your video simplifying FLYLADY is helping me understand progress is more important that completion and that I can make these tasks fit my lifestyle. Thank you, you are a life and time saver.

One of the wonderful things about the Flylady system is how customizable it can be for you and your family. Progress Not Perfection

I did Fly Lady years ago and it worked and then I stopped. Now I'm going to start this again as you have been so encouraging!! I love all your videos! Your kids are so cute and enjoy this age as they grow up so fast. Thanks for your help!!!

Thank you so much for the detailed zone cleaning list. I love it!

Great video ! You explained it perfectly !

I've never made it very far into flylady... It's overwhelming. I also got a little defensive about the need to swish the bathroom... She didn't seem to provide a reason for doing that everyday. However, my kids are about as bad as a muddy dog, so one of my bathrooms could probably benefit from a daily swish at this point. You made this very simple... Now I just need to somehow print this checklist out... Last time I tried to implement flylady, it made my week so much smoother... But I also fell into bed totally exhausted at the end of the day. I guess I didn't stick with it because I felt a bit depressed about running ragged by the end of the day. Felt like I had zero time for me. Energy limitations & depression seems to be my biggest challenges.

Thank you for being so very motivating! I quite like the things you said about customizing to suit one's own situation. As for me, I've often thought about how much I've had to modify my cleaning routine due to age and being in a different house. It's not in the least bit similar to how it was 40 years ago! lol, just have to assess the situation and formulate a plan.

Well done Steph!!! This will be a huge help to beginners and seasoned as well. This really breaks it down. I wish I had this when I started the FlyLady system. Way to go!!!

So beautifully presented , explained..

Thank you so much! I've read the FlyLady book and the website, but your explanation makes it all make sense. Bless you, Stephanie.

So glad I found your channel!! Thank you for the breakdown!! I've looked into this system in the past but never implemented it. I appreciate this breakdown, you explained it in a way that totally made it click for me and it sounds perfect!! I'm a SAH, homeschooling mama with 5 boys ages 9 and under with baby #6 on the way. I'm in planning mode for all the things to make the upcoming school year and days as smooth as possible, and this sounds like it will be an awesome fit!!!!
