If you would like me to "clean with you" my Zone cleaning videos are here kzread.info/dash/bejne/jIuc2sOin7yboMo.html and you can find the current Flylady zone here www.flylady.net/d/zones/

I feel so much better since I do the Flylady sink cleaning every night!! My mornings are brighter because of you, Diane. Thanks

It makes sense what I've never been able to complete zone cleaning. I don't have my morning and evening routines set. I also like your idea of not having an afternoon routine, I never did it.

Started on my first zone clean. Pulled out a chest of drawers in the hallway. Found 10p and made load of spiders homeless. Thanks for your help. Xxx

Spreading common sense! Yes! Maintaining a clean home daily is a great way to live ! I know I love it 💐💐💐💐💐💐

Thank you Diane for the explanation of the hierarchy of things to tackle first..routines, then weekly home blessing and then when you have those things down, you can begin to do the zones.

It’s nice to go over the basics again! Makes one feel like they are not behind and can start from where they are! Thanks for sharing 🌸

PHD in Me TV Hi there. 🥰 Exactly! I love the starting where we are mentality! 💐

You are such a good teacher, and very sweet too! Thanks Diane!

So, focus on: Routines first, Home Blessing next, Zones last. Thank you for this wonderful explanation! I am working on my Evening Routine first as I work outside the home. I have been following Flylady off and on for 15 years. Your explanations breathe new life into information I have heard before. Thank you, Diane!

You are so very welcome. Have a lovely weekend!

This is such a wonderful explanation of the system!!! I am excited to share this with our facebook groups!! Hope you have a wonderful day! Please know you are a blessing to many of us and our homes! Sending hugs of gratitude and encouragement!

Great video. Watching 4 years later. I was confused about zone cleaning. When and how many times. You explained it perfectly. 🎉🎉🎉

This system has changed my life! My house looks so much better, I feel so much better! I am not stressed out and frustrated anymore. I really recommend the the FlyLadyPlus App. You can get started with the system right away with it. It also gives you great insights and encouragement. This program has been a great great blessing. Thanks to the FlyLady and you. I read the book too ( Sink Reflections). It’s great. I learned to be kinder to myself and my family. It’s easy when you’re not frazzled and stressed all the time.

I forgot to mention I stated doing the daily routines first. Then I focused on the daily focus. When I felt I had these down I then went on to the daily focus. Then I stated working on meal planning. I am about to focus on zones this month. Baby steps, baby steps!! It builds feelings of success little by little. You feel like you are overcoming! So motivating. DO NOT TRY TO DO IT ALL AT ONCE. Baby steps is the flylady method, a little bit still blesses our family and our hearts.

It's worked for me Diane. Spyros my husband is really unwell here in Cyprus. Yesterday I had to take him to the emergency room. I am so thankful for my routines. People will drop by and I don't have to worry at all about the state of the house. Have a great day and fun at the clothes swap. Weather here is fantastic Love Margaret

@@joanrevell5767 thank you. He has a chest infection. Because of a major stroke any infections are a bit more serious for him. Hopefully he will recover soon

Just went through the garage to see if anything needed to be tidied or decluttered, Swept down the ceilings. I consider it part of the entrance zone. I will sweep out the window wells this evening when cooler. Starting my lol and getting dressed for the gym for this afternoon, a break from the heat since an indoor pool. Putting on a vegetable casserole for tonight. Getting a fresh door doormat for fall. Making phone calls( I hate phone calls) this morning for my anti-procrastination day. I have a task I am asking of Alan. Friday is car maintenance day at the dealership. I cleaned the car out in advance.

It's so true. Declutter, then routines, and THEN zone cleaning. I did the first two for years before adding zone cleaning and that was a game changer. I spend less time cleaning that I did in the past.

Yes! I tried this a few years ago and failed miserably because I tried to implement everything all at once. I was overwhelmed, decided it wasn’t for me, and gave up. It was bad. I’ve watched Steph’s videos from The Secret Slob and now your videos and have a much better handle on the system. You have both explained things in a way that made it make sense. Thank you! I’m currently going through the 31 baby steps again. So far, so good!

I just did some of the baby steps over again and I just want to say what a difference this has made in my life I can see it in my bathroom and kitchen thank you 💕💕🌹🌹🌹🌹

Thank you for this video. It helps me see how to balance the home blessing and zone cleaning. I have been returning to FlyLady and those good habits, and have been surprised at how many habits I've actually retained, such as dressing to shoes and not leaving the bedroom till the bed is made. However, I have an amazing story. I started on a Monday with the Home Blessing, and I've done that three times now, besides leaving the kitchen clean every night. This has made a drastic difference in the cleanliness of our home. My husband is a hoarder, and has filled the garage and his office with clutter so overwhelming I can hardly stand to be in these areas. For the past three days, he has for the first time ever, started decluttering those areas, and has already made a amazing difference. I know this is a result of what he's recently seen me do. I've heard stories like this, but he has NEVER responded like that before. I should add that my husband is 78... not ever too late to change habits. I'm not trying perfection; just M and E routines, weekly blessing and zone cleaning so far. Thank you for the brightness you've brought into our lives.

Love the new hair do! Enjoy the clothes swap party 😊🎉🎉 x x x

Having my routines in place kept my house clean even during a hurricane! Thank you for inspiring us!

Stay safe, Emily!

Happy Wednesday and Anti-Procrastination Day! Keeping up with the chores is more fun when done with others.

Lady, I am falling in love with you. You must be my mother's age. Let me admit, I've been watching your videos from the past 15/20 days and doing nothing. I am literally awake from 5 am to 10 pm daily (with an hours rest in the noon) but yet cannot accomplish anything. Neither am I giving time for my exercise. But from 1st September, 2020 I wish to start my Flylady System only and only because of you. Would be beginning from the Babysteps. I love the way you teach. There is a personal touch to your videos and they don't look made up. Maybe that's what I like the most. Thanks once again. Will keep you posted. Stay home and stay safe. Live, love and Prosper. Bye.

The daily routines are by far what have made the biggest difference for me. They seem so small at first, but when you realize they're happening without having to set reminders and for longer stretches of time it's a real confidence builder.

The timer is such great help to me, I tend to get myself buried in a cleaning hole where I start a project far too big and not be able to finish it and then I'm left with a bigger mess then when I started. Another great video Diane thank you so much 🤗

You have such a wonderful group of friends and you all have so much fun! The swap sounds so great! Have a fabulous day and thanks for sharing all these tips on how to keep up on your home and still make time for self care and fun!! 💕

Forgot to add, Diane, your new haircut looks lovely! 🌼

Thanks for clarifying things again. I appreciate it and understand it better. You make cleaning fun! 😉❤

Thank you very much for that video and the video you put in yesterday. They helped me getting more clear about the system and how I can get along with it when I am leaving house in the morning and come back home in the late afternoon. I have to work on my evening routine first! That makes sence. Thank you! All the Best wishes from Germany!

Thanks for covering the basics again! I started FlyLady in April. I just started zones this week!

I love that you’re doing this review. It helped to have the reminders post vacation.Thank you soooo much for giving this week’s refresher.

Love the timer! It makes cleaning fun and helps me from overdoing a cleaning job. Love your videos, Diane. Thanks as always for sharing with us.

Fabulous explanation! Both you and Steph have been a huge help doing this day-by-day fly lady course, finally it's started to make sense (and I'm also managing it!) X

Yay, so glad you are seeing progress!

Thanks for your video's this week (and all the others of course!) In The Netherlands we have a great supportfacebookgroup for Flylady, but without your talks, things would be still much more complicated then they still are after 8 months of flying! Step by step (also there the babysteps) things become more clear. So thanks to you! Also by following your last two video's, things are beginning to fall together a little bit more again. One very practical thing I learned from you: dusting with the featherduster! For some places in the house that works much better then with the dust cloth (? "Stofdoek" we say in Dutch, I wouldn't be surprised if you know the word ;) ) or the hoover, and knowing that makes cleaning a little bit nicer. Especially for a perfectionist like me! So thanks again and I hope you will make a lot more video's! :)

A big hug back to you from the Dutch Flylady group. 💕

Oh, I love your pink jacket and that Bonjour gold foil tee. Bet you found some new pretty clothesswap items! This is so good that you have explained the diff btwn WHB and the zones. I see a lot of us flybabies get that mixed up. I am currently rewriting my zone pgs in my CJ as they are still the original ones written by Marla. So, tailoring them to specifically fit our home. But, not stressing to rewrite ALL at once, doing each page as we hit that zone. CHEERS!!💮💮💮 P.S. Mmmm can't wait to get back to the soup dinners again with Fall coming😋

Also you always look put together especially with this do, your har pulled over to the side, not such heavy bangs looks very flattering. No flips showing in front of coif, and you eye make up is very updated, it all equals more cute, less “mom”.

Loving this little refresher...Thank you x Have a fabulous time tonight - can’t wait to see what you find this time

Wish I could come along to the swap. My ladies love them, but I'm the only one hosting, so have to be content with only once or twice a year . Enjoy and hope you find some goodies!!

This is a really great foundational video! I started with routines and then weekly house blessing. I have one room we refer to as the 'spare oom' which holds a lot of clutter so I try to declutter 15 mins a day in there. Zone cleaning can be a full 15 mins.like cleaning under my vanity this week or just wiping down the doors for a few minutes. I love it! Going to eventually bring in daily focus.

Loving this back to basics Diane! Tysm for doing this. 💕 I’m following both yours and Steph’s from Secret Slob re-establishing routines now. It’s such a help since we got off our routines with summer break. Now the kids are all back at school and I get back to it next week, so I’ve been bootstrapping my routines. ☺️💐💕xo

You always look so pretty! I love the pink you just look beautiful.

Pretty in Pink today!! Enjoy the trip home 🙂

I think if I missed my morning routine, I’d feel as if I hadn’t brushed my teeth. It’s just such a habit, at this point, and I haven’t really been doing it that long. My mum visited us last month and she just went on and on and on about how impressed she was XD I have a very energetic border collie, so I feel like everything is always hairy and the floors are never clean, so I’ve made my own alterations to the weekly/daily routines. I like that I can use the app for that.

Very helpful video thankyou Diane you are a star😘😘

Diane, the soup looks marvelous!

This was so helpful - thank you for explaining the order of things. I tried this a few years ago and tried to do everything from the beginning. I became so overwhelmed and frustrated that I gave up. I started morning and evening routines on Monday and won't move on to the weekly home blessing until I have the routines down pat.

I've done parts of flylady for years. My house is organized and I usually keep it clean. For the life of me I still get totally confused with all these terms. I wish someone would make a calendar of one month and what they do each day on one page.

Today (Wed.) I did some of my morning routine, then grocery shopped and went to bank, Then I dog sat and later went grocery shopping and then put groceries away.

Oooops. I was easing into zone cleaning before I integrated whb. Got that backwards. Makes sense though that whb would be the next cog in the wheel before zones.

Love your haircut 😊

You are always inspiring to listen to! I either listen when I get ready in the morning or before bed. I’m always doing something so as not to waste time. 😊You look so cute today ! Did you get your haircut? ❤️

Im at the Baby Steps. We have to declutter 15 min a day. I use the zone cleaning plan to declutter. With the zones I know where to start.

Bahaahaa!!! I was just confused about this 6 hrs ago. Get out of my head Dy Dy! No JK stay. I need help.😍

I love the way you talk and teach us how to use the flylady system and you uncover the misunderstanding of the home blessings hour that is only for the high traffic areas but I have a question about the zones that 15 min for me is not enough for cleaning any zone because there is details even if I am very fast also what about cleaning the curtains and rugs also if we clean them every 6 months for example , cleaning inside the curue cabinet every 3 months all that take time with the cleaning of the rest of the zone so how you deal with all of that ,and thank you in advance 🙏🙏👍👍🌺🌺🌺
