These videos help people more than you know. Simplifying the system is genius because it's so overwhelming.

I split up weekly home blessing on a daily basis. I feather dust on Monday, collect trash on Tuesday, windex mirrors on Wednesday, sweep and mop on Thursday, and my husband has taken on the vacuuming and cleaning the shower. That has really helped. He vacuums any day he wants and cleans the shower daily after he showers, that way the dirt doesn’t builds up. We make the bed together daily. We grocery shop together also. I do the cooking usually he helps. Then we clean up from dinner. I usually do the laundry when the hamper is full. Sometimes he will do a load. Last week he wiped down the kitchen cabinets. We share the housework because we are both retired and getting older. I am thankful for his help. I tidy daily so the house looks cleaner when things are picked up. I do the paperwork daily as well. I hate when things pile up. Zone cleaning is hit and miss for me. This week I did zone clean the living area and tomorrow and Friday I will do the dining area.

I had to move to the Zone Looping System too! I just could not figure out the half week thing, and it bugged me that certain zones didn't get the full amount of time. I also extended the 15 minutes to 20 because I'm old and just don't move as fast. And, along the same lines, with the exception of my hallway and dining room - or my Welcome Zone - each room is its own zone. Since I live in a NYC apartment and only have a few rooms, this works for me. This way, each room gets a deep clean every 5 weeks, and each room gets the same amount of deep cleaning time. You are correct that it goes faster and gets much easier to clean after 2 times through a zone. The first time I did my living room, I spent most of my time cleaning behind the radiator. I don't want to tell you what was back there - years of dust, debris left over from construction.... But, now its done and all it needs is a quick once over with a vacuum! Thank you!

I divided my house into 4 zones so I don't have to deal with the crossover week! I agree that the best thing to do with any system is to adapt it and adjust it to suit you and your life.

I love this idea. I can easily make 6 zones that way I can actually declutter my upstairs bedrooms that don't get used.

The way you explain this makes so much more sense. I have 3 floors, the exterior and a basement. Right now I'm going through a major declutter after a flood and losing my husband. The clutter is overwhelming. I need to zone my declutter and then start zone cleaning. Thank you for taking time and sharing. It's helpful

I’m sorry for your loss.

One task I added to the Weekly Home Blessing is to walk around and sanitize the door knobs and light switches. I use the sanitizing wipes that I also use for my bathroom counters swish & swipe. With COVID still reeling its ugly head, it makes sense to do it as part of the blessing hour, even if you have not had anyone in your home. If you have kids, it may need to be done more.

I'm so glad you're back I had all of you in my library and my library got erased the other day so Hallelujah

I feel like your system is perfect for people with ADHD (wich I suspect I have) because it gets things organised but without the pressure of - I need to get this done now or else it's not perfect and I give up. Thanks for your videos...

Zone Looping makes SO much sense! I had the same experience with those partial zone weeks: glad it wasn't just me. Re: what's in each zone - I got a mailer from a house cleaning service that had lists of "what we can clean in each room." Well, how handy! I set the mailer aside to use next time I edit my zone lists - I figure, why not leverage something from the pros? ;-)

You impress the heck out of me, Steph. I was so impressed (and helped) as I followed your journey to get your house under control. You should be so proud of your success and how you've honed and refined zone cleaning. I'm on board with Zone Looping! XXOO❤

The Zone Looping is pure genius!

❤ your system. It is helping me to stay on track. So overwhelmed and your positive attitude is keeping me going. I feel like I am the ultimate slob and I do not want to be one. I am counting on you to help me overcome old bad habits. Thank you for this hope and help. May God richly bless you and show you His favor.

“Zone looping” is how I assumed zone cleaning worked and have had a hard time doing it specifically the fly lady way. I’m going back to looping! 👍

I was watching You, Dianne, and The Dove's Nest...then lost track of everyone. The Dove's Nest mentioned you as a person that motivated her...then she was overwhelmed with the third baby. A few months ago I got a note from her saying she would be back soon. I don't know if KZreadrs check up on each other...but she was really good. Like you, and the Zone Looping (which I love so much) she blended Fly Lady and Clean Mama. I thank you...am figuring out my zones now.

Yay!! I'm trying to get my notebook set up...been trying for a WEEK...I'm so overwhelmed xD This sounds like SO much sense 😍

Discovered Zone-Looping for myself a few month ago. Now i have a word for it! It helps so much! I always have a week that get totally crazy and i have no time or Energy left for my household. After 3 month of "skipping" my kitchen-zone i had to do Something... (Greetings from Germany! ♥️)

Another solution is to do any skipped zone stuff on Anti-procrastination day.

Sending furniture and loads of books to my cousin who lost her house in one of the northern California fires now that it is close to being rebuilt which I hope reboots my decluttering efforts. My dream is to have a house that is clutter free so I can seriously get through the home blessing and Zone cleaning consistently for the rest of my life. Thank you for demystifying Zone cleaning.

Omg why I did not know abt your channel earlier ....u r such à big inspiration and hope for People like me ....Who used to be perfectionist n now struggling wid kids

Looping makes perfect sense. Thanks.

Zone looping makes so much sense! Weekly home blessing is a total game changer! I just love it!

I totally agree! Fly Lady's system overwhelms me...I need simple. Thank you Secret Slob!!

I love this idea because I have a fairly large living space with only two of us most of the time. I’ve split my zones up into 8. That way I don’t have as much to do each week. Thanks Steph! 🤗❤️

Zone Looping.. super idea! Those partial weeks threw me off..and missing a week completely derailed everything. SUCH a good idea. Thanks :)

I love your videos u have made this so simple❤️❤️where were u when I was a mom with young kids. Oh yes they didn’t have utube 🤣🤣 from a 61 year old finally having time for herself😍😍

You are such an inspiration! I love your printables.

I used to have the same issues with the Fly lady's zone schedule. I love zone looping so much better for ALL the reasons you mentioned! I'm getting so much more done too! I'm so excited for the customizable zone cleaning schedule! Thank you so much for creating it for us!

Today is my one year anniversary with flylady where I found it through you. Honestly I was drowning. It’s still challenging but not as drowning it’s so much better. I did zone cleaning/decluttering at the same time with the same loop. It’s less time and it was slower I know but with time it started to make sense and became a routine .

Love to hear about zone looping! That makes so much more sense to me 👍👍👍

Love this “zone looping”! It is simple and so doable! Thanks for that

I love this idea of zone looping! Thank you! I can't wait for the customizable zone cleaning list! 🎉

You inspire me so much! I am so blessed that i found this channel

I needed this today! Feeling overwhelmed and depressed about my home 😕

This is the first time zone cleaning has clicked for me! I’m not sure what was different about how you explained it, but I get it now! Thank you!!

The weekly cleaning schedule has been a game changer!!! Thank you!!! Can’t wait for the new printables!!

Thanks again Steph 🙃 I’m so looking forward to your customizable printables!

Zone looping! That makes so much more sense! Love this. Thank you for this

Thanks you! I was trying to do the whole list LOL now I can see/feel the progress

I love your videos because even if I'm working the loops, I appreciate your encouragement and positive spirit!

Thank you so much for doing this video! I have always gotten stuck at this point with the flylady system. But you have adapted this in a way that makes so much more sense for me! Thank you!!!

I love this idea! I usually do my zone cleaning one day a week, so I struggle with the scheduled and skipping zone 5 often.

Love it!!! Makes so much sense! I always hated the partial weeks! We are all unique in our home size and needs!

Can't wait for the customizable pdf printable! Thanks so much for your all your ideas! They have been so helpful to me!

Brilliant! Just what I need! ❤️

Thanks for the amazing PDF and Tips! Keep up the great work Steph! Big Thanks from Idaho!

I found your group on FB. I'm looking forward to the ideas shared. Thank you, Steph!!!

Hi Steph!!! So good to see you! Thank you for cheering me on to get back on board with zone cleaning. I’ve fallen back into my old ways again and was just thinking I need to get back doing your system. When I clean it your way, my house looks great. 😃 15 min a day for a clean house really works!! Plus the additional one hour a week for home blessing tasks. Even a slacker like me can do this and feel wonderful about my house again. Happy spring! Hugs from Ohio. 🌸💜🌸💜

All of this is so different and brilliant. I am really looking forward to seeing ALL of the videos I have missed and this makes so much sense to me.

I wait for your videos .. you’re an inspiration for me.. thank you for the looping the other system was a little bit confusing for me .. love you 😘

Zone looping - love it. Was so confused before this method sounds great! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Steph, I love your printouts. Sometimes I want to add or switch things around and I make a mess out of my paper. I am looking forward to your next printout and make my changes without looking so messy. Thanks so much

Genius!!! I love it. I found it hard to keep up with fly lady. But this... I can do!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!

I knew you did zone looping but I didn’t completely understand the mechanics of it until this video! Thank you! I love your worksheets so thanks for those too!

Thanks for making this video. You really encouraged me. Now I feel like I can do it!!!

Re Watched this today and it is still great!!! Getting it all down on paper...starting tomorrow....thank you!!!

Thank you Steph! I can already tell that zone looping is going to work better for me. I really like your ideas for simplifying and adjusting some of the Flylady system. They usually work better for me too :-)

Hey lady, loving the hair! Thank you for another awesome video!

I was just researching how to set up the weeks for the fly lady system and found your video. Zone looping makes so much more sense and is easy to follow. I just have to figure out my zones now! Thank you!

You are seriously my favorite!! I love that you break things down, make it easy and fun, and keep calm and carry on! Finally someone that I can relate to when it comes to household and personality at the same time! Thanks for putting all these videos together 🙏 ps, your eyes, shirt, and nails being the same color are amazing!! Ya look gorgeous!

Absolutely love your background music on this video Steph. I've tried Zone cleaning once and fallen off the wagon. But you have inspired me to try again. Thank you Steph Cheers 🌻Australia

CONGRATULATIONS on 100k!!!!! Very cool 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I feel like this just made the entire system click for me, WHOA. I was having such a tough time getting into a flow and this totally seems to work with my brain!!

Perfect timing!!! I’m just starting and I mapped out the next few month so see what it would be like and there is a crazy month where I have almost no time for a zone. I think since I’m only in my second week I will try looping! I have been choosing what I think needs the most attention in each zone and started there. I look forward to going through everything twice so I can get through more each week. The old way was rotating through rooms each week. With 5 people we each had a different room and looped every 5 weeks.

Thank you for this. In March I just let the ball drop. I am using this new print out. I feel like this method will work better for me too! I like the flexibility of making my own zones! Just what I needed Stephanie! Your explanation and clarity of how to work this for my benefit is perfect. Thank you!!!!

Brilliant! I seriously feel better already.

Brillant!!! Much more organic system...Love Love Love!!! Many thanks!!!

Muchísimas gracias! Termino haciendo TODO cada semana jaja

Love the idea of Zone Looping!!!

My favorite video re: the FlyLady system, & I’ve watched probably hundreds. I’ve followed you for probably over a year, & this video really helps! Thanks! About to check out the printable & the FB group. Thanks!

this video was awsome. i am not going to do zones exactly like you but yes this video was informational and gave me great ideas for how to be more productive in my house.

Loved that your free prinables also is in Norwegian.

We are moving and I can’t wait to have a clean slate and finally keep it up!

I love the idea of looping! Because my 5th zone is the biggest.

I thank you so much...this has gotten me back on track.

I appreciate the free printable because I dint know where to start

Woman you save my life!!!! I love your videos! Best regards from Serbia.

You are changing my whole life.

Yay! I love this and would love a customizable pdf! You are awesome!

Thank you! Your videos are the best motivation! I'm going to give zone looping a try and this is a good week to start. One aspect of the flylady system I really struggle with is the weekly home blessing. I really can't get much done in 10 minutes. When are we supposed to finish the tasks we started? Timing myself at a normal pace, it takes me over twice as long to dust, vacuum, and mop. Thanks Steph!

Steph, I really appreciate how you painted your eyes to match your nails, hee hee. Great video, as always! ♡

Thank you very much. I've been trying to figure out why zone cleaning doesn't seem to be working for me and after listening to you, I think it's because my zones need to be changed. Your idea of grouping like areas together is absolutely what I need. Going to try to start again because my house really needs to be cleaned.

This seems so helpful and much better than flylady. I never did flylady because it was too confusing and complicated and I didn’t want to spend the time trying to figure it out. I’ll be checking out your printables!

I just found you and love you bunches!!! I know your channel is all about house cleaning, but you are so cute and always look on point. Can you take a time out and tell us more about yourself? Like how long have you lived in Canada? What kind of make-up do you use? Do you cook a full dinner every night? Do you have siblings? Are you the oldest? I watch you every day and I think we would all enjoy getting to know you better!!❤️❤️

Your hair looks so cute today!

And thank you in advance for the customizable principles. That would be really helpful. I find that during the school year, because we have a long commute, I have to just focus on vacuuming and maybe cleaning the windows. But during the summer I have more time for zone cleaning.

Ya have been looping g for a while. It works for me

I'm still working out the kinks of doing the Flylady system in my house. (Mainly because of being sidetracked by a major declutter of my mom's house.) Meanwhile, I credit what success I am having to you, and "Diane in Denmark". You are both such lovely people and easy to learn from. And the permission to adapt the system to my personal preferences has been important. (Perfectionists need this!) My adjustments have been these: 1. Only do the zone cleaning 3 days a week, Tue, Wed, Thu. But do more than 15 min. (1/2 hour to an hour if I get on a roll) 2. Have 6 zones, and Zone one starts on the first Tuesday of the month. 3. Put the least-used parts of the house in zone 5 -- I'm an empty-nester so that is the whole 2nd floor, and the back patio. If I never touch zone 5 for a month or two, not a big deal. 4. Zone 6 is the yard, which I deal with on weekends, weather permitting. Also, being the queen of tote bags, I empty one tote bag along with my purse every Friday.

Im an empty neste too and have The same aproach to zone 5. However i start each zone At 1, 8, 15, 22 and 28 of each month

You make cleaning fun...Thanks

🙋Great video Steph!!! Thanl you👍

Apparently I’ve been zone cleaning and didn’t know it! 😂 thanks for the printable- printing that Now!

My friend has a very nice sharing, I congratulate 😊Full

I like this 💡 idea!. You just keep getting prettier and prettier!

You are so encouraging!

Just seen this video now, but after several failed attempts at the Fly Lady system I came to the same conclusions. I stuck with the daily routines - adapted ones. Dropped the daily focus entirely, and adopted what I called our "weekly rolling zones". Works a treat! Havent lots focus for months. Lovely clean "mother in law visit ready" home.

Your lists and zone cleaning tips help me the most Steph! You're an inspiration! Will definitely be following the motivational group your sister has. And almost 100K YAY! Today's video is getting shared by me now on FB. My family and friends need to see how amazing you are!

I started FlyLady recently, and the first thing I did was to start "tweaking" it. Her system a good skeleton, but it needs to be "fleshed out" to fit your own home and lifestyle.
