Great minds think alike! I am getting rid of my mattress today - it was crumbly and rusted inside. It was 7 years old. No wonder I was coughing so much in bed.

[@lesleybennett8837]

Diane, about 6 weeks ago I hadn't even heard of Flylady ....or you! Now I can see the progress I've made in the house and how much easier the cleaning will become as the months go by due to consistent cleaning. Just cleaned a 'horrible' little corner in the living room - it will never get that bad again, I hope. Thanks Diane, I'm a big fan! 😁

[@DianeinDenmark]

Yay, welcome here, Lesley!

[@joanrevell5767]

You are my bit of sunshine every day.!!!!!!!!!!

[@DianeinDenmark]

Aww, thanks, Joan 🤗

[@TheaNicolaides]

I'm folding laundry and having my morning coffee while watching. I have already put the dishes away. Thanks for the reminder to not JUST watch, but also do something! Have a beautiful day!

[@mixedmedialife7916]

Watching you wizz around your living room made me realize that the most valuable thing I've learned from you is to move quickly as I do these tasks (of course the timer helps with this). The time I used to spend procrastinating (& feeling guilty) was such an energy sapper. Loved the Liberace moment 🎹🎶. Happy Monday everyone ✌️

[@DianeinDenmark]

Yes, just keep moving ahead and get things done! 🎉🎉🎉

[@suecotton8489]

Evening classes and book exchanges! Denmark sounds like a great place to live!

Zoe zygote It’s giving me a great idea to start a book exchange with my friends here in Texas!

So sweet to see the elderly taken care of. America could learn so much from there ❤️

[@donnalittle3622]

I saw something on your floor (dirt?) and was thinking "Oh I hope she gets that" - then I realized it was a spec of dirt on my computer screen. So I am laughing at myself...🥰 and yes cleaning along with you - including my computer.

[@DianeinDenmark]

LOL!

[@maribethwhiting7114]

Oh my goodness that happens to me all the time! 😁😁😁

[@elizabethkamras897]

I always learn something new when I watch your videos. I am going to put a pamper basket for my mom. She isn't as mobile these days. Thank you!

[@Emily-nn4lt]

Thanks for the motivation! I cleaned my family room right along with you and decluttered my magazine basket! Done for the day😊

[@jeannebowes2898]

2:30 in the morning in Montana. My living area only has a sideboard, sofa, and little tea table in it. I keep the big window sparkly clean. My table linens are kept folded neatly in the sideboard. I usually spend time in this zone on outside chores. Keeping this area clean takes so little time.

[@marydrummond5451]

Good Morning Diane in Denmark ... this is Mary from the states . Love watching you ... you make my day ... your awesome .

[@DianeinDenmark]

Good morning, Mary! 🖐

[@DesertDreamer]

Only found you about 10 days ago, but my house is already back under control 😁 Granted it wasn't bad to start with, but I'm loving having a routine that means I won't forget some area 🙂 Today's problem: waiting for the kids to go to bed so I can clean the living room 😆

[@dld4334]

Your living room always looks so lovely, as does the rest of your home love your style Diane.

[@cherylthomae-barnes7852]

Love the story about senior bike rides...what an awesome gift for the giver & receiver!😎🌻💞

[@samanthagidget]

I love how you are always cheerful and optimistic. You are a treasure. I am so glad I found you and the Flylady method. It has been such an inspiration and a real help with getting my house in order.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Thank you so much, Samantha - and a very warm welcome to you here! 🖐😀

[@zg3186]

I always get so much done when I use a timer. Have a great day!

[@paultjeg5404]

Thank you for showing the power of a 15 minutes clean! I love your video’s.

[@ellenh278]

I've never appreciated until this video exactly how tall your ceilings are. I've been catching up on your old videos where you'd take a chair around the room to reach up high. But that's really high! What a difference a stick makes! I'm always inventing what I need to make life easier also. We have had tornado warnings going off here in Missouri (states) in the middle of the night so you have been keeping me company while storms roll through.

[@elizabethharrell8707]

Diane, I just love your energy..you really have inspired me, did a thorough cleaning of master bath, de-cluttered, we both feel better..never heard of fly lady before but I like it! Thanks for posting... have a lovely day . And your outfit is fantastic! love the T1 colors, I am T4 A fan in AZ

[@LivingEclectic]

I love your videos because they keep focus and help so much with the daily/weekly tasks! Thank you

[@marylynch951]

I do think it's very important have the timer I can see this Diana Xx

[@agardenramble4479]

Diane I found you about 2 months ago. I was 7 months into decluttering a house I inherited that has NEVER been decluttered (45 years). I can see progress but when I feel like giving up I watch a video or two of yours and get moving again!!!! Love learning about Life in Denmark too!! Thank you for all you do!!

[@DianeinDenmark]

Welcome, Sherri!

[@edennis3202]

Do you know what I did in a similar situation? I took a shovel and some heavy duty contractor garbage bags and shoveled. It all went. That being said, I knew there weren't any $100 bills hidden anywhere so it was just a matter of getting it done. You wouldn't believe the piles of dirt under it all.

[@joyindrelie6715]

I've been trying to apply fly lady for years, and just discovered you. I'm just now realizing the weekly blessing hour is just for the zone! I had been trying to bless my entire house in an hour, which was obviously impossible!

[@DianeinDenmark]

Hi Joy and welcome here! Yes, the Upkeep Clean/Weekly Home Blessing Hour is only the "high traffic areas" - the ones we use daily. Not detailed Zone cleaning and not cleaning the whole house 👋😃

[@dawndawn6946]

Your reminder to not “go overboard” is so precious to me. I’ve started zone cleaning and I definitely over do it. I get everything done in the zone on Monday. I wear myself out and then I don’t do anything the rest of the week-sometimes not even my daily routines! 😣

[@DianeinDenmark]

Hi Dawn, please don't beat yourself up! 🖐 In future, routines FIRST before any cleaning, okay? 🤗

[@Julie-ok5fr]

My pamper basket is now freshly decluttered; I borrowed the idea of it from you over a year ago. I just love having it :) :) Mine currently has a "wee" book from my mom about tea, a new IKEA catalog, my current knitting project for a plush animal pup, apple scented hand cream decluttered from DD18, my latest library reads😁😁😁😁, my past menu plan notebook, & my cordless headphones. I think I will add some dark chocolate to it later today!😋🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫

[@DianeinDenmark]

Hi Julie! I need to replenish my chocolate too 😁🍫🍫🍫

[@Julie-ok5fr]

[@nataliew1931]

Thank you for your positive energy! 💙 I’m still learning not to be such a perfectionist when I’m zone cleaning and working along to your videos is so motivating! Your makeup looks lovely 💚 It would be fun to see your DYT makeup sometime ☀️💄

[@DianeinDenmark]

Aww, thank you so much, Natalie!

[@marcydow9580]

It's good to see you back from the summer break. I did about half of my home blessing earlier. Have a muscle acting up and insomnia. (RoseLynn).

[@DianeinDenmark]

Well done, Rose Lynn 🎉

[@marcydow9580]

Thank you.

[@afghanbunny1]

I'm watching before 8am, as I have my morning tea. I'll have to delay my WHB until afternoon as I have a couple of appointments this morning. BUT, I finally have my living area unpacked enough that I CAN do a proper clean! Yay!

[@DianeinDenmark]

Woo hoo, go you, Suzi! 👏

[@themonkeypuzzle]

Thank you, Diane. 💕 Lovely to see you, all bright and cheery. I loved the story in the paper about the seniors getting a birl on the special bikes - happy news! Enjoy your day, everyone. Love sent from Vancouver Island. 🇨🇦 x

[@marylynch951]

Good morning Diana And yes I am on the Flylady albeit Not keeping to it completely yet But I am really into cluttering Once again thank you so much You are a breath of fresh air I feel as though I know you God bless you and protect you always

[@maganswanzy7510]

I loved this video! It was so motivating! Please kick us in the bum more and get us moving! I was working my tush off with you, and I got so much done. I would love to see more of these on a regular basis! And please share tweet and sparky with us! I have birds too, and would love to see them.

Diane-I have recently been attempting an abbreviated version of flylady the last couple weeks to get my routines going, and have enjoyed watching you for inspiration. I also wanted to thank you for the joy you spread and for introducing me to Dressing Your Truth! I heard you say it a couple times in reference to your clothing and had to go find out more! 😉

Hope you enjoy DYT!

[@eileencarroll6418]

Love that your bookshelves are wall mounted. So easy to clean under. You are rockin' the type 1 red! Love your videos! First cool breeze in Chicago and the one word that keeps popping into my head is "aebleskiver". 😆 Ha-ha, not on my diet between now and Christmas.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Ha ha, the æbleskiver will be here soon enough, Eileen! 😁

Ok! It’s settled! I am moving to Denmark!

I thought the same thing when I saw her video where they gather to have a sing along in the library in the morning before work/school.

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

RAMLOSA!! LOVED that water, but IKEA don't sell it in the UK anymore. Something to do with the levels of minerals. It was awesome. Diane, thank you so much for inspiring us on such a consistent basis. Lots of love to you and your family xxx

[@amkvisser]

Diane, isn't it funny, they had the same article in our newspaper about the people giving the seniors the bike rides (feeling the wind in their hair). Our paper being the 'London Free Press'. London, Ontario, Canada -- Denmark is a good example!

Hi Diane! I’ve been watching you for a couple of months and love your videos. You are very motivating and upbeat. We visited the Scandinavian countries on a cruise once and I noticed that so many people have lamps in their window as do you. I love how that looks, but I was wondering if there is any significance to that or is it purely for decor? Thanks!

[@DianeinDenmark]

Hi LoisMary! It's a very common thing here, mainly for decor. But on 4 May we do light candles and place them in the windows to mark the Liberation of Denmark...I talk about that tradition here 🕯🕯🕯 kzbin.info/www/bejne/naDOp2eeqbl9nqM

[@jeansmith3367]

[@nancymccloskey972]

Diane, do you have as much fun cleaning alone as when you clean with us? I’m curious if you talk to yourself out loud when you clean? I often catch myself doing that or talking to one of my dogs while I’m decluttering or doing a cleaning project.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Hi Nancy! I don't only talk to myself when I am cleaning, I talk to myself ALL DAY LONG! I always say to my family that it's the most interesting and intelligent conversation I can have! LOL!

[@dloveofgod8269]

[@Karenkmc1]

Yes He Was Amazing 🙏But I would do the language like you do OR some type of Art painting or drawing hopefully rosmaling ?!?!?

[@MsAwesomeGiraffe]

I confess, I am just watching your video sat outside having a bite to eat after a 7km walk in 30c (although it was 5-6pm) and a hard day working in the heat too (39c today). I'm amazed how much you got done in such a short time but I think it will take me ages to clean my patio doors and the tracks! I'm also concerned with what to do with things designated for elsewhere; like your books and recycling etc? My problem is that I would pile it up with good intentions and that would become part of the clutter, especially if it then gets 'stored temporarily' in the spare room 😕 Any advice would be most welcome 😊 x

[@DianeinDenmark]

Declutter for 15 minutes. Then set timer for another minutes. You put stray items back in their proper homes immediately. Giveaways are ready for collection/drop off next time you are out. Rubbish/recycling goes straight out.

[@MsAwesomeGiraffe]

@@DianeinDenmark thank you 😊 I will try the timer, for sure I can find 15mins a day to make a start at least. Tomorrow I am working from home, I'm going to load the car with the bags and boxes designated for the charity shop and get them out of the house, that at least will free some space!
