Beginner Guide to the Flylady System

[@TheSecretSlob]

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

[@susanstrouse3717]

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!

[@connormalloy1593]

Been at it a year as of June 3rd, thanks to finding you and then Diane in Denmark. So thank you for your videos they helped me tremendously.

[@nouaraouis4928]

Hi steph I love you. Can you please give us parenting tips cause I m awful with my kids .

[@pamelalowe2649]

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.

[@TheSecretSlob]

Pamela Lowe Thank you for such nice comments!

[@marykay1707]

STEPH STEPH STEPH, this is BY FAR the BEST WAY TO show the WHOLE FLYLADY SYSTEM in one go!! Well done!!!

[@catherinedouglas8049]

Yes, I agree!!!! I have been trying to FLY, but somehow the way you lay it out seems far more simple to follow. Thanks, Steph!

[@TheSecretSlob]

Wow! thank you so much Mary Kay :) :)

[@karenh8752]

Great job explaining

[@speedpaw8023]

I agree! I refer back to this video ALL THE TIME

[@melanieckelly]

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.

[@TheSecretSlob]

Happy anniversary!! Glad that this system has helped you and your family so much. I love hearing these stories. :). And its sooo true...progress is progress!

[@hollycopenhagen1282]

@Melanie thanks for the great motivating comment! I have 5 kids, so it’s nice to hear it can work for bigger families 💕

[@clmtdmmjcmm4489]

The fly lady website is very overwhelming. You take the panic out of it. Your lists are the bomb!🌞❤️

[@meghoffman1655]

When I visit the site, I always think "for not being into clutter, this website is an absolute bomb of digital clutter" 🤣 Steph's videos & printables are so helpful, I think she should be hired to re do the site!

[@alainapotaduh]

@@meghoffman1655 I agree! It's in serious need of a redesign. It's so old, and not user friendly.

[@poolahpot]

Meg Hoffman Totally agree!

[@Plethorality]

@@alainapotaduh it was not easy to follow when it was new, either. Many people understood it, but for me it was always confusing and overwhelming... Which only compounded everything.

[@jeanlaubenthal698]

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.

[@mageetu]

I sent it to a 17 year old great grand daughter who is starting to want to get more organization in her life. Not sure if it will help, but I thought she would enjoy this young woman's great personality and sincerity! I do!

[@ahoardersheart]

Oh yesss!! I need this refresher course!! I’ve fallen behind with the Fly Lady system bc I’ve been so busy decluttering my hoarded house!! Lol.

[@TheSecretSlob]

You are smart to start with decluttering! You can't clean clutter :)

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!!!

[@TheSecretSlob]

Thank you Judy! They are so much fun right now :)

[@bkayepokrant9084]

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"

[@poolahpot]

B Kaye Pokrant AMEN TO THAT! 👍👍👍

[@TheSecretSlob]

I am so glad this video helped! Thank you for your kind words

[@HassleFreeLiving]

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

[@jenniferklotzer2794]

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

[@louisedillon2413]

I started using your printable this week. I really like them. It seems they are helping me stay on task throughout the day. I leave it on my kitchen counter near my sink and check things off as they get done. I think this is the answer to getting me on track. Thanks for providing them.

[@TheSecretSlob]

You are so welcome!

[@sticky-bones]

[@TheSecretSlob]

That's great to hear!! :)

[@sarahburke8955]

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.

[@katelynmraz4882]

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 Diana, you are always a ray of sunshine in the comments section, thank you for that!

[@laurab257]

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!

[@thehadster7043]

Sisters are great, aren't they? I have a confession. Living in an apartment in NYC, my air conditioning is through-the-window AC units. Because of the virus and New York phased in opening, I could not have my units installed. (I sent them for cleaning last fall), until yesterday. And it was too hot and humid to do my zone cleaning. I tried, and in minutes I was drenched in sweat. There are some who might read this and say, "work out," but being drenched in sweat after 2 or 3 minutes of doing hardly anything physical is different than running and working up a sweat. The temperature in Central Park, away from pavement might say 87 degrees (high 20's), but on the streets, with black pavement radiating heat, it can be 15 degrees higher. SO, I didn't get to my zone cleaning. But now I can. I don't think I can completely finish my zone, but.... something is better than nothing.

[@Dwynfal]

Thanks Steph! Nice, concise and clear 👍 I followed Flylady years ago (2000 to about 2008 when my life went pear-shaped again... Since then I've struggled and slipped back into my old cluttered, slovenly ways. I've been following your channel for a bit and you've given me the kick in the butt to start again!

[@TheSecretSlob]

Awesome! Good luck getting back into it :)

Hello from deep South Texas! Thank you so much for such an awesome, insightful and helpful video. I am a teacher, who tries to undo a year's worth of "house neglect" in the summers. I have started using the Flylady app for my routines and it is working wonderfully. Thank you for carefully explaining Zone cleaning and the Daily Focus mission. The features are on the app, but I had largely ignored them because I did not understand them and neither had I taken the time to read through them. I sat and watched your video while having breakfast after getting all of my "morning routines" completed. Thanks again for your motivation!!! Love your channel and your enthusiasm, but above all, I love your wholesome and much welcomed honesty. Have a great Flylady day!

[@BeachyWaves72]

Thank you for summarizing the FlyLady’s system. I don’t know if I have ADHD or what but I could not translate her writings into practical use but your videos help tremendously. I also downloaded her app (iphone) and can’t wait to use it. Do you keep cleaning supplies in the rooms where you use them? Half of my issue is having to retrieve cleaning supplies from one location and getting distracted in the process. As a result, the task I planned on doing is forgotten until I’m in that room again. My powder room is tiny with no storage so where would I even keep the bleach wipes/whatever?

Thank you for this; especially the calendar. Too, I always wondered how one would get to the things done the next month of the things you didn't finished the last month, i.e., I thought you had to start over from the beginning if this makes sense. I didn't think you could save that for the next month. Also, I couldn't figure out how you split the zones like you did for the last week in June. TFS

So I’m home enough that it still needs some cleaning, but my usual Flylady routines don’t fit right now.

Finally getting my house cleaned thanks to your videos. In another video you talked about breaking up the Weekly Home Blessing into 10 minutes 6 days a week and I love doing it that way. I was already doing something like that but adding the zone cleaning alongside and making it strictly 10 minutes means I actually get things done and I'm not so sweaty and tired that I never want to clean again lol.

You are SO inspiring and I love how you make it your own! I tried Fly Lady years ago when my kids were young and it overwhelmed me. Thanks for breaking it down🙂

[@keyisme1356]

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.

I can hear you all the way to the back of my house 😂 Thanks for projecting!

[@naturallynesty1576]

Ok, great information! Question: On this system, when are all bathrooms being cleaned fully (tub, shower, etc.) weekly (as bathrooms that children/adults are using daily) need to be cleaned weekly? I’m asking since daily cleaning or zone cleaning (unless you’re in that zone) covers this (and would mean you’re not fully cleaning a bathroom that lives in different zones only once a month).

[@joettasmith4594]

Great video! So helpful to us newbies who are navigating the system. I love the balance the routines bring and I am actually enjoying getting things in order. Instead of feeling overwhelmed about having to clean the whole house, this system breaks the work down in very manageable segments. Hubby has been jumping on board, too! Keep the videos and info coming! Much appreciated.

So- right away, going through the Monday-Friday ... I am totally perplexed. Why is there nothing on Sat. and Sun. Also- why SO much on one day and so little on another? Why aren't things more evening spread out? Of course- I wouldn't be able to do most of that. My cleaning and errands are almost all entirely done on the weekends. There is no time to grocery shop during the week.

[@dhivyaanand1]

Thanks Steph for putting this video together. I am trying out all systems to see what works for me. I loved the way you wrapped it to show how a day will look like. I have some questions there as a newbie to fly lady system. Please help me answer. For example in the evening routine it says start up dishwasher -2 mins. But to load a dishwasher it will take way longer time right? How do we account for all that time? Overall 1.5 hrs a day cleaning looks promising but I felt there is much more time to be spent than 1.5 hrs and I am working full time and so trying to see how much should I be prepared for.

I SO need this!! I’ve been trying to figure it out! This is so helpful thank you!! I love love love your videos!

[@TheSecretSlob]

Happy to help!

I’ve read some unpleasant things lately about The FlyLady not being inclusive. Well, I’m watching your channel (instead of hers) anyway because you make so much sense. Thank you for all the help!

[@CoolJack14]

Amen!

[@lamisanicole5640]

Best explanation video ever! Can’t wait to try this system

[@hotmessmomtv4117]

This breakdown of the system was definitely the easiest to follow that I've seen! Thank you for taking the overwhelm out of it ❤️❤️

[@TheSecretSlob]

Glad it was helpful!

I work 4/10 hour days outside my home so I’m gonna have to really think about how to work around that. I’m thinking for the zones surely I can muster up 15 each evening to complete one task in the designated zone. I’m gonna really focus on my home once my daughters wedding is over this weekend. Any suggestions for working flyers

You really have to break things up into small chunks of time! Use your timer and don't overdo it because you'll get burnt out!

[@azlizzie]

Do you ever find that you don’t reach the bottom of your zone list consistently? Or do you rotate some of them to make sure the dining room gets mopped (for example)?

When do you clean the floor? Everyday? Do you vaccum le whole house everyday? When do you clean the toilettes?

I felt so overwhelmed by the Flylady website. You have not only have introduced this system to me (I had never heard of it until finding your channel) but it has completely changed my approach to keeping my house clean & organized. My home was in decent shape but my attitude needed some adjusting. Through you & the Flylady, I more organized, getting chores down faster & most importantly I feel calmer - there's a new joy. Thanks, Steph.

So happy to hear this. Glad I was able to simplify it a little bit!

I love this breakdown. We recently moved and still have things to unpack and put away. I feel kind of overwhelmed and I work 5 days a week outside the home. Thank you for giving me a great plan to start over! I have used the FlyLady system for many, many years and it’s so fun to get things into a routine and keep up with everything.

Great job on the power point and making it easer to understand the flylady system.

Thanks. U make it easier to follow than her website, seems to overlap and you don't know what to do first..
