2:13 1) Work in short BURSTS, length depending upon ability. 2-15 minutes 2:35 2) ALTERNATE strenuous tasks with lighter/sitting tasks (sorting, bills, writing lists) 3:06 3) Take frequent BREAKS to avoid physical and mental burnout. Take care of yourself because if you are worn out, then you are not of any use to anybody 6:44 6) Take true breaks, do something joyful 4:29 4) Talk kindly and POSITIVELY to yourself. Deal with your limitations. Don't beat yourself up, don't regret your limitations 5:09 5) Listen to peppy MUSIC, audiobooks, lightweight videos. Many are available for free through library.

[@scotishcovenanters]

Thank you. I think what healthy people don't understand is that chronic illness is draining on the mind. So your tips, like listening to an audio book while folding clothes, is important--more so than than healthy women would ever realize. I had wondered what other women who are chronically ill were doing with the flylady routine, so it was just nice to hear from you.

[@Mytitus2journey]

I am so glad that you found this encouraging. Did you see that I have created a Flylady playlist since this video was filmed. I have more Flylady videos coming, and should probably be posting at least one more this week. kzbin.info/aero/PLAyy1v07r992LjYLu7u3xZylic6gfctyr

Thanks for the tips. My mother in law used to always say "you work a little, rest a little, work a little, rest a little."

Thanks for stopping by! Sounds like your mother in law was a wise woman.

[@marieparks5407]

I have several auto immune diseases including myasthenia gravis. I was so overwhelmed with fatigue. Finally I remembered what my mom told me. All you can do is all you can do. Some days are good, some are not, enjoy what you can do and have a attitude of gratitude. Life is good.

[@Mytitus2journey]

Marie, thanks for stopping by! You are so right. Not beating ourselves up over what we can't do is really important. Thanks for commenting!

[@aliciaayala6650]

I learned in hospice care that standing takes more energy than walking. Just a bit of info. Thanks for ur video

[@Mytitus2journey]

Thanks for the info and that could explain why I get more tired from doing dishes than I do running from appointment to appointment. I know that standing in one place hurts my back a lot more than walking does.

[@sarahzitzmann8860]

Alicia Ayala no wonder doing hair takes so much out of me

[@lilli9822]

Muscles take a lot of energy to keep the posture

[@PicklesFiona]

Yeah, I have back issues and I have to mix up sitting and standing, maybe 30 minutes each, if I’m not walking around. Thanks for this video. I’m really struggling with pain and being able to get housework done now. I know this video is like 4 years old but it still applies!

[@futabulousco.3881]

I have Fibromyalgia and I do the Flylady system. I can't do the 15 minutes at a time so I do shorter working times. Flylady is awesome and has helped me so much.

[@Mytitus2journey]

I have considered doing a Power Hour video- but with a twist, which would be doing it like a person with a chronic illness does.

[@dee4174]

@@Mytitus2journey did you do this video. I have fibromyalgia and 15 minutes is a lot.

[@Mytitus2journey]

Deanna Sinclair I never did get to make that video. Some days 15 minutes is a lot for me too. On those days I do things in even smaller spurts. Like I will unload what I can of the dishwasher while my tea is brewing or my oatmeal is cooking. If I have to go in a room I will try to pick up a little clutter in the couple of minutes I’m in there. When I brush my teeth I wipe the bathroom counter. Little things done throughout the day can really add up.

[@charlotteruthbryantbryant6842]

TY TY TYI've been chronically ill for a good many years. I cannot remember feeling good and I'm 60. I just clued into how important 15 minutes is when keeping a house. I work on my home 15 minutes every hour until one full hour is reached. It's miraculous. For the other three quarters I do what suits me, like read, nap, watch fave Netflix. My home has always been the shining beauty or the cluttered dirty disaster. Now, I feel better and know I'm doing my very best on my home and don't beat myself up.

[@Mytitus2journey]

That is great! So glad I could be an encouragement.

[@asc3998]

Mine too! If I couldn't be perfect, I would give up.

[@KS-xb3cg]

I have found a tall bar stool that I sit on to do dishes helps my back to not hurt as much. Sounds lazy to those who don't know, but it helps me get more done. Also on some days I will use an old belt and strap the heating pad to my waist/back while in the kitchen. An extension cord helps me get up and go across the kitchen for things. Heating pad Not recommended while doing dishes! (electric does not mix with water!!) I sometimes vacuum or mop while sitting. Otherwise it just wouldn't get done.

[@Mytitus2journey]

I love these ideas! The strapping the heating pad on is a hoot- and practical! Love it and am going to give it a try. My daughter Rachel clips the TENS to her belt and does things while it's going- like you said- not dishes. ;-)

[@asc3998]

My chiropractor told me to open the cupboard door when doing dishes & put one foot up on the shelf. It relieves the pressure on the small of your back. When I was working at a job where I had to stand a lot, I put my lunch in a small plastic toolbox & put it under the table. I would put one foot on it at a time to help make standing more bearable.

[@stefs3460]

I have done this (extension cord heating pad tied with belt from my bathrobe) for back pain before! I thought I was the only one 😂

[@Allycat06]

I so feel you about the rib thing! People don’t understand. But I so understand. I have a rare genetic disease called Ehlers danlos syndrome, and one of the main things we deal with(but definitely not the most severe, unfortunately) is joints that dislocate whenever because we make defective collagen, so the tendons and ligaments do not hold my joints together because they are like stretched out rubber band that doesn’t spring back. So ribs,hips, knees are constantly dislocating. Thanks so much for this video. I needed it so bad🤍. My two sons have this, too. And we have ADHD as well😅🥲. So that’s a whole nother thing. I needed the encouragement so bad.

[@Mytitus2journey]

We also have EDS as well. We also have some ADHD going on as well as Fibro, MCAS, and I have Hashimoto’s. We’re just a fun cocktail of things and we’re never quite sure which one is going to pop up next. 😉😀. I’m so glad you found this encouraging. I hope to start posting again soon. Two of my daughters have had GI issues pop up so we’re dealing with CTs and colonoscopies for the next week or so.

[@roxannelovesvenussmokecity]

Thank you so much for your video!! I never knew anyone else had the same struggles as me. I feel like so much needs to be done. I push myself out of anger for "not being strong enough". Then I can't get out of bed for 2 days. I've been praying for wisdom. I'm so glad I found your channel. God Bless you 💖

[@Mytitus2journey]

I'm so glad you found it too! I'm so happy you found it encouraging! My goal is to be an encouragement and it greatly blesses me to hear that I have helped someone. I don't know if you saw that I have a playlist now with more Flylady videos. I hope you find them encouraging as well. kzbin.info/aero/PLAyy1v07r992LjYLu7u3xZylic6gfctyr

You're most welcome! I hope you find them helpful!

[@sarahzitzmann8860]

Roxanne Joyner I feel so less alone. Prayers for all of us!

[@HealthyChristianHome]

Good ideas! I've had iron deficiency anemia and my energy levels tank really fast. One thing I find helpful is having a "grabber tool" so I don't have to constantly bend over and pick stuff up off the floor. I also get hubby to do the more strenuous jobs like vacuuming &a bathing the kids, while I try to work on gentler chores like laundry and dishes.

[@Mytitus2journey]

That grabber tool sounds like a great thing to have. I may have to look into one! One thing that has helped me with vacuuming is to have a light dust buster type vac. I bought one off of Amazon and love it. I'll put the link to the one I purchased down below. It picks up as good as my big heavy one. I often use it instead of sweeping. ;-) I'm sorry it's taken me a while to get back to you. I will be posting an update video that will explain everything in the next few days. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OHTKVM2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@YagwitOG]

Harbor freight has good grabbers. Anemia has tore up my heart. I’m so frustrated.

[@Ircar47]

I have clinical depression and anxiety ,I fail few times from routine and its always so hard to go back. With dishes -my sink next to the window and even I have sheers ,I put few favorite pretty cups and small picture on a ledge ,so when I was dishes ,I look on them and they keep my spark of joy ,I also learn that mix Fly Ladies with KonMari methods work much better . Wish everybody stay strong and have a blessed day !

[@Mytitus2journey]

Thank you for sharing! My kitchen window looks out into my backyard. While I'm doing dishes I get to see my roses, the birds eating from the feeder and squirrels playing and being funny. It really does spark joy for me.

[@avantikapungalan4622]

Ircar47, I am totally with you. I suffer from depressions, too, however, additionally I suffer from a very bad back - and I mean bad. Actually, doing dishes manually is far better for my back than filling/emptying the dishwasher. So many tasks are barely manageable for me and I get tired quite quickly. This video confirms what my physician always says. I just don't listen to him because I too feel I have to do more, even though I am not unduly tired after a day in the office. I wish there were more practical videos for people with back issues to help them getting on with their daily chores.

[@joegallehgos1301]

HeikeJ1964 What about if you wear a back support belt like the weight lifters do or people who have to lift heavy things?

[@asc3998]

I struggle with depression & anxiety as well. I keep hearing my mother's choice in my head saying if you're going to do it, do it right. Because of that & the depression / anxiety issues, I beat myself up if I don't do everything perfectly. Perfection is unattainable, so it's been a viscous cycle. I'm slowly getting better at ignoring it. Videos like this & Flylady really help. What I find really helps is to write down everything little thing I do, because sometimes I work really hard, but it doesn't look like it. Keeping my sink shined & bed made makes a huge difference in how I feel usually, but if I'm really down nothing really registers joy.

[@kristirebbert1518]

Thank you for this video, definately needed it today! I have to keep my self from marathon cleaning then being stuck in bed the rest or the week. 15 minute chucks are such a great idea! I will have to try them. Do you have a set cleaning routine or do you do what most needs to be done at that time? I’m having a hard time sticking to a cleaning schedule with chronic illness. God bless you too!

[@dmbmeister0]

Thanks for making this video. You give some very good tips. I had pulled my back and as a result mostly sat for a month or so. Granted I did do some things, but the majority of the time was sitting. At the end of that time, I realized I had not done myself any favor for I think I lost some muscle or whatever. When I stood up, it seemed as if I lacked support in my back and it was hard for me to stand for very long. Then I read this: "Sitting is the new smoking." Yikes! :) So I started doing basically what you said regarding working in short amounts of time. I found the timer was the most helpful tool I could use. In addition, I was amazed at how much I could get done doing 5 -15 minutes at a time on a daily basis. I've been doing Flylady for a month and it is unbelievable how improved my home is. It encourages me to even do more. Again, thanks for making this video.

[@Mytitus2journey]

I'm so glad that you found the video helpful. Thanks for sharing your story. It can be hard to know how much to rest or use hurt muscles. Thanks for stopping by!

[@robyr445]

I don’t have a chronic illness but I fight with debilitating abdominal pain from five surgeries to my abdomen and intestines. It’s very hard to get people to understand frequent breaks. I learned the hard way to forgive myself and not overdo it. Thanks for the advice! It was very helpful and also helped validate some of my feelings towards frequent breaks.

[@Mytitus2journey]

robyr445 I’m so glad that you found this video encouraging and validating. Those are my main goals. I understand how it feels to blame yourself and feel misunderstood. Have a blessed day!

[@roxanewolff7373]

I often do 'commercial cleaning' when its a day to veg on the couch watching tv. I also have to put in kudos for front loading washers and dryers. With side opening doors! I am short and I have short arm disease and I actually cracked ribs doing laundry before I got my front loaders! When my hubby had an ouchie he also used a 'grabber' to pull Laundry out.

[@Mytitus2journey]

I'm so glad the front loaders work well for you! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

[@andreastrobel4110]

I am a new subbie. Thanks so much for your tips! It will help. It also helps to know I am not alone. My illness tends to make me be so unorganized. I give up because I am overwhelmed. This may help. Would like to know how you deal with clutter that has accumulated and your daily chores. I am a perfectionist and wind up doing nothing. I look forward to your other videos. God Bless.

[@Mytitus2journey]

Andrea, thanks so much for subscribing. We have been sick with a respiratory virus we picked up at the hospital so I have been out of touch for the last two weeks. I understand about the perfectionism keeping you from getting anything accomplished, I battle the same monster! Do you mean clutter that accumulates daily/weekly or that insidious clutter monster that is in boxes?

Andrea Strobel I can relate to what you just said 💯

[@vickibarbosa5641]

This is helpful. I find that it helps to plan chores for the morning when I have energy. After about noon I slow down and do sedentary things, because my energy is less. I also take a half hour nap every afternoon which helps a lot.

[@Mytitus2journey]

Thanks so much for commenting. Those are both great ideas. I find taking a 30 min nap can really help me a lot. I always regret it on bad days when I don’t take the time to do this.

[@jayasrisrinivasan517]

Thank you for your wonderful tips! It’a very helpful to hear that pacing yourself is totally ok and the reminder to take frequent breaks was particularly timely. Best wishes for healing!

[@Mytitus2journey]

You’re welcome.

[@suem6004]

Perfect series for me. Good tips. For a break I like prayer and contemplation or scripture reading. It reenergizes my spirit which as you know with a chronic condition can be low.

[@Mytitus2journey]

I'm glad that you found it helpful. You are so right about needing to boost our spirits. I like to listen to good Christian songs when my spirit is low.

[@belvadalidowich859]

I just found your site by accident and so happy I did. I subscribed. I kept thinking, too bad Fly lady doesn't have something for people with disabilities. It is so difficult for those of us to get our work done. I have many and I'm old. At 73 years old with many diseases including kidney failure and diabetes. I also have fibromyalgia and arthritis and yet I want a clean house. I hate it when I plan, I try and I fail. But I get so tired and out of breath. Thank you for this channel. I try to take a nap every day too.

I think the Lord had something to do with me seeing your video tonight. :) All are tips that I try to put into practice, but I have a LONG ways to go! I still struggle with trying to push through, keep going and my "favorite" - doing it all when I am having a good day, after all who knows when the next one will be? That is what I did today. And tonight I am paying the price - with interest.

[@Mytitus2journey]

Sarah Zitzmann Thank you got your kind words! I understand how invisible you can feel. Do you have a rheumatologist? He was the doctor that diagnosed us. If you haven’t found one that seems to hear, keep trying. It took us 3 years and many doctor changes to get the right set of doctors. We went through 3 allergists before finding one that worked and 3 PCPs. The group we have now is really great! I hope you have a blessed holiday season!

Hello there! I have MS and have been wanting to follow the FlyLady for many years, but my fatigue is what always stops me up. My husband does most of the tasks around the house like sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, shopping and cooking. It leaves him feeling unappreciated and me feeling useless!

[@roxanewolff7373]

Brittany Sides : make sure you use a soap that smells good or light a smelly candle. Smells really help or hurt me. I realised this when I did some dishes at Mom's. So THAT is why I hated doing dishes when I was young! Mrs. meyers is supposed to smell good. I saw them in a Sprouts or you can get them online.

[@Mytitus2journey]

I’m so glad you found it helpful. It’s great that you have found ways to cope that will work for you. In case you haven’t, have you seen a cardiologist?

My friend has a similar problem with fainting and fluctuations in blood pressure. She lives a healthy lifestyle and is a healthy weight so wasn't that, turns out she has something called POTS maybe you could ask your Dr about testing you for that.

[@hoorayway8540]

Ouch! Having your rib fall out after dishes would be painful! Is that b/c of EDS? I love HOOPLA and I also use OverDrive.

[@Mytitus2journey]

Yes, it is. Our library also has an app called Flipster. I haven't tried it yet, it's for magazines. I want to though.

[@kathalinehansen7078]

do you sit down while doing dishes? I soak them for 10 minutes before scrubbing and rinsing them off. I have fibromyalgia, too.

[@Mytitus2journey]

I don't, I haven't found a way that works well for me. I also soak them before I put them in which helps a great deal! Also when I do the silverware I set the basket in the sink so that I'm not bending over a million times. ;-)

Hi I'm Lisa I have Congenital Hip Dsyplasia ,Sciatic nerve palsy and Traumatic Brain Injury so no prescriptions other then over the counter Advil which is fine. I don't want that stuff in my system anyway. I just wanted to say Thank you for your video because not everyone understands the standing for long periods of time can be put on a person with a disability just by rolling over I can pull a muscle and I'm down for a day and house work does not get done. I do have a dishwasher but it makes so much news it sounds like its going to quit so I don't use it we are in a rental so we can move things that is in here with out permission.

[@Mytitus2journey]

Lisa, thank you so much for stopping by. I don't have CHD but with our EDS we get frequent joint sublexations/dislocations and my hips can really be difficult. I already (at 54) have osteoarthritis in my knees from their dislocations and I have sciatica, so I completely understand how painful it can be to stand for a long period of time. I also have an issue with my intercostal nerve that can be very painful and any activity that uses my arms can be painful. Will your landlord fix your dishwasher? I do find that just doing a little at a time when it comes to dishes does help me a good bit. I also find that soaking them before I wash them is helpful. I will fill the sink with hot soapy water with baking soda in it (that really helps with things that are hard or cooked on) and wait until the water cools a good bit to wash them or load them in the dishwasher. That helps me pace myself which is vital on many days. I'm so glad you felt understood by my video, that is one of my goals. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Blessings!

In my opinion it would depend on the author. I’m very careful with who I read. I don’t read trashy ones with sex and a lot of cursing. Some of my favorites are Agatha Christie, Anne Perry, Victoria Thompson, Charles Todd, MC Beaton, & Rhys, Bowen. I have read many of their books and they are graphic or trashy. Very good, captivating stories.
