You are such an inspiration to me. I have a lot on my plate this morning but got up earlier to get my WHB and morning routine in before I leave. I feel so wonderful that my bathrooms are always clean and the house is shining. I owe it all to you and to Marla for putting things together. I’ve been a mom of 7 for 51 years now and now, at 72, you’ve given me a new lease on life. You are such a sweetheart, so fun to listen to. You’ve made the difficult art of homemaking ( that so many people consider menial work) into an acknowledged, worthy, important skill. I’m so thankful for you - and even though I might seem old to those who know my age - I feel young and vibrant thanks to you helping me finally get it all together!!!

[@eileencarroll6418]

I am 62 and am inspired by your comment. Love ❤ your attitude. 👍👍👍

[@DianeinDenmark]

Aww, that is so wonderful, Julie - sending you a pom pom salute! 🎉🎉🎉

[@carolgeorge6409]

I am 73 and feel the same as you! This beautiful lady has changed my life🌹

[@AuntMay2011]

A new mantra I learned recently... movement not motivation!! Every time I don’t want to get going I remember this and get started... once I’ve been going for a few minutes the motivation starts to grow!!

[@Hakunamatata-xr3lk]

Maryann Haraldsen I will remember that! Thank you 🙂👍🏻

[@eileencarroll6418]

I love ❤ this idea! THANK YOU! 👍👍👍

[@barbaraimwold4352]

Maryann Haraldsen this is so true, I am going to share this one with my sister.

[@juliebabcock3423]

Truly, what is not to like about you Diane! You are so fun, upbeat, helpful, insightful and motivating! Thank you so much for sharing yourself with all of us that need your kind of cheerleading!

[@DianeinDenmark]

Many thanks, Julie!

[@camillasanver1124]

My 8 month old son is absolutely in love with your videos. Allows me the peace to clean by putting your videos on.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Aww, that's so sweet, Camilla - give him a hug from me!

[@bethreisman8869]

I love the story about the plastic shoes. Reminds me of a vacation where my husband and I were going to hike in a National Park. ( not our normal vacations at our age of 68yo). I put on my very old 30+ yrs, very good, reasonably expensive leather (rubber soles) hiking boots. About 10 minutes into the hike the sole began to crumble and separated from the leather boot ( like a clowns flopping shoe soles). Soooo the boots had disintegrated!! 😆

[@dianafajardo3642]

Thus far, I have been focusing on routines, decluttering, and semi-zone cleaning (still need to work on fully incorporating that). For the first time, I've started incorporating the daily missions...because of this video. I was happy to note that I didn't have to do most of those missions for this week because the master bedroom is in great shape after months of implementing FlyLady system...nothing in corners, no piles of clothes, nothing extraneous in the night stands, closet floor cleared (I reorganized shoes and purged one pair....during the summer I got rid of 14 pairs of shoes I had accumulated over the years!). I also love this month's habit: Paper Clutter. Getting in on that a little late....but making great progress! Last night I shredded a big pile of papers and discarded catalogs. Today, I purged and then got rid of the two magazine racks by two reading chairs that constantly accumulated piles of magazines, books and other misc. Go me! : D

[@pumpkingirl-ln3eo]

Hi Diane, I really appreciate this video "chat" because I'm fairly new to Fly Lady and I am feeling overwhelmed by attempting to do "it all". Thanks for giving me permission to just focus at first on the basic routines and gradually add in the rest. Nancy from Northern California

[@DianeinDenmark]

Welcome to the gang, Nancy!

[@karenengebretson9771]

"Just go through the motions"...when you don't feel like doing your tasks. This is what I needed to hear today and it worked!

[@Dreblueskies]

I love the style of your home.

[@dawndawn6946]

Hello! Thanks for another great video! It’s helpful to know that other women go through the blahs sometimes, too. Thanks for your candor.😘 Hope you’re having a great day!😁

[@TheaNicolaides]

FLYbaby here, looking forward to fluttering through this Monday. I've marked the next donation pickup on the calendar (Nov. 9th). Having an actual date that I need to have things ready to go really helps motivate me. Have a beautiful day!

[@jenniferbtoo9344]

thea nicolaides I really like the idea of having a donate date ahead to gently motivate 👍🏻😊

[@shannonengelken4629]

I feel so much better having donated so many things last week. Thank you again for your motivation!

[@DianeinDenmark]

Go you, Shannon!

[@anital5020]

You are such a treasure. Thank you for sharing your info.

[@jeannebowes2898]

Ordered more Christmas cards last night, planned modest ingredients list so I can purchase a little at a time when I see on special. Our modest celebration will be quieter and smaller than ever this year, but we always make it special and meaningful for us. We did organize our charitable donations early this year. I went through the linen closet this past weekend and have items to donate to the animal shelter this week. Put out a childhood memories box filled with little treasures. I put it out every Christmas.

[@DianeinDenmark]

The childhood memories box is such a lovely idea, Jeanne! 💖

[@DesertDreamer]

Thank you Diane. Wasn't in the mood this morning but cleaned the En-Suite while listening to you ☺️ Rewarded myself with a nice cup of coffee, now, on to the second half of my whb (because I do the first half on a Sunday, it just suits me better that way 🙃)

[@Julie-ok5fr]

Guilty no more. I used to wash things CONSTANTLY and after just one wear. It had never occurred to me to air anything. In the past times, I had that dreaded hotspot of clothes..the chair, the exercise bike handles..where clothing that was worn just once would hang out. As a result, I would end up grabbing the huge pile and washing it all, just to clear the space. I can't even IMAGINE living that way now. Thanks Diane! I have developed your habits now of airing, hanging up, LOL a day..Yay!!! And bonus, the exercise bike and the treadmill aren't even here anymore, nor are the laundry baskets!!😁👍

[@karencompton5926]

Thank you Diane ✨✨✨...wasn't feeling the love today...until I watched you! DD10 and I love your necklace...she says it looks like clouds ☁☁☁. Today we have spend 5mins in each of our 3 lounges having a PUPA & Polish, we spent 7mins each of 2 bathrooms emptying bins, changing towels and S&S cloths and refilling loo rolls and a PUPA and S&S....and we spent 15mins in kitchan diner unloaded, reloaded d/w, washed up, wiped worktops and stove, wiped and reset dining table and put on a load of laundry, took down dry and hung up wet! We've also done a few other little jobs (distractions like make bread and cuddle our hens!)...but at least they are done! DH is on dinner duty...oh! MR complete, pampered myself with a lovely long hot shower in a clean cubicle and am just off to get out tomorrows outfit! Woohoo! Thank for all your encouragement xxxx

[@DianeinDenmark]

Woo hoo, go you Karen - and family! 🎉😍

[@liztrout6879]

Happy Monday! WHB hour is on. Start the week off on the right foot!

[@Beazers1]

I showed your wonderful feather duster to my husband, who then took this project on and created a similar one for me. Bless the dear. We nodded to each other that NOW we would take care of those nasty cobwebs on our very high ceilings. I grabbed my newly minted extended feather duster and proceeded to attack the cobwebs, only to find that they weren't coming off with the feather duster but smooching to the ceiling! Who knew that we had textured paint on the ceiling. sigh Time to bring out the big ladder and the shop vac with the extra extended hoses.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Eek! Hope you managed to remove the cobwebs, Doginthehole! 😄

[@marcireale]

Diane, I really needed this today! My husband is a piler, not a cleaner, and today I’m tackling one of his piles in e master bedroom.

[@nikkiman9147]

you are so lovely. Thank you for these videos Diane!

[@robinastips6986]

Awesome. Thank you.

[@teresaoloughlin2532]

Love your videos Diane You are from the both countries on my bucket list to visit x

[@pamwarren24]

I LOVE your outfit today, Diane! I'm a black and white girl, I just love black, I can't help myself. Thanks again for your videos, I look forward to them!

[@pamwarren24]

Ahhh, it's not black, I knew it probably wasn't with your DYT system, but initially, it did look black. I like the depth of color on you!

[@DianeinDenmark]

Ha ha, sorry to confuse you, Pam! Yes, as T1s, we have a large range of colours/depths of colours we can wear. From colours with a lot of white (pastels) to the very dark tints.

[@deliarealtor]

I love the birds I the background

[@flochou63]

Thanks a lot Diane, you push me up!!!! I love your new banner, very fresh and your smile is amazing!!!Bises

[@DianeinDenmark]

Merci et bonne semaine! 😍

[@KatSturtz]

Love your necklace, Diane. Very T1 so creative lightness with the smallest hint of sassy boldness.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Thank you, Kat!

[@eileencarroll6418]

Of all your clothes, that claret-colored top is my favorite and like a fine wine, I love the way you paired it with the light jacket. The two necklines work so well together and the contrast has a very brightening effect. It makes your complexion very bright on a gloomy day. Go you! ☕🧺❤👍

[@eileencarroll6418]

P.S.: Keep an eye out for 3-or 4-inch ,necklace extensions. Adding that tiny bit of length might prevent your necklace from getting tangled in your collar ruffle. I use them when I out out my clothes the night before. That habit has helped me take the time for little details like necklace extensions whereas I could not be bothered if were rushing in the morning. I am also grateful because the process gets me to try on clothes that I have not worn in a long time after my evening shower. If something does not fit, it gets decluttered and I have time to pick out something else. I never would have expected it, but at 62, my arms seem to be getting wider just above the elbows and narrow jacket sleeves are uncomfortable. With the change of season, it is nice to not have those surprises at the I'm-NOT-a-morning-person start of the day. On the bright side, the evening garment check is an effective declutter opportunity. ❤❤❤ I love your clothes-swap preparation-videos. They really help me let go of my own stuff and help me make life easier. ❤❤❤🧺👍

[@barbaram5214]

Yesterday I wore a top in a beautiful royal blue that suits me. But I just don’t feel good in the top, something about the neckline. I was going to try it again but after listening to you, decided to put it in the washing machine and then it will go in my donation bag. Thank you for the encouragement.

[@scaredofmice8658]

I am much slower than FlyLadyPlus program because i am not well I have a built in timer (my back) it hurts to stand up for more than 15 minutes but I am trying love your very helpfull videos.... The Wife joan🌹🌹🌹

[@JoanDam248]

john martin hi Joan You Can split the 15 minutes in 3. Do 5 minutes at a time. Rest and when you are ready, do another 5 minutes. I do that when my back hurts

[@eileencarroll6418]

Hi Joan. I have rheumatoid arthritis and prefer a lightweight microfiber mop to wrestling a vacuum cleaner. When needed, I do a crumb cruise to pick up little bits betw÷n WHBs so they don't get tracked around the house. If I keep up every week, there's no need for the wrestling match. 🧺🧺🧺 ❤ 👍👍👍

[@DianeinDenmark]

Go you, Nancy! No need to do 15 minutes...often I just set my timer for 5 minutes and see what I can get done. It all adds up!

[@madnessofmymind]

I completed my first full whb yesterday. So proud. Also derailed the plans of my spouse to "mop" today. Cause I already did!!! I've kind of re-ordered what I do on which day to work around my life (which I think is the whole point of this). Like I only have to do washing 1 day a week (95%) of the time. So I do that while I'm doing my power hour (as i call it), then finish it after (I've timed how long each machine takes to complete so I can work around that time frame). And I do those on Sunday because that is my 1 happy day of the week (when spouse is out of the house all day and cannot interfere). :-D I have always hated 'cleaning'. It's always been a punishment to me (growing up it WAS a punishment). This is helping me to change how I see it and respond to it. And I'm feeling a lot happier and more motivated. And now that my back injury is almost mended, I've got a lot more in me to get moving instead of sitting around. I'll be honest, I spent 4 weeks just printing and organizing my own journal while I had to rest. Now I'm ready! I LOVE MY SLEEP MASK. Not sure if I have the exact same one as you or not...but I love that thing! Helps me not have to listen to my rude spouse being loud at 12 am after work. :)

[@trishtraynor]

Sometimes I fake it til I make it. Its not always easy to get going . If you forget a word just say doodah! My mother knew lots of people called Mrs Doodah.. 😆😆

[@DianeinDenmark]

LOL! Mrs Doodah is great! I usually say "thingumyjig" 😍

Homeblessing done with the exception of mirrors and 15 minutes in zone completed . I am out and about so mirrors will be done later this evening. I am not looking forward to clocks changing. Go us and may the blahs be banished. Love from Margaret

[@annecarter5181]

I started reading the Elly Griffiths novels at your suggestion. Absolutely love them! So I am returning the favor. I have recently discovered the works of Jean-Luc Bannalec. It is a series of murder mysteries where all the action takes place in Brittany. The murders are not of the gruesome variety. The characters continue through the 3 books I've read so far. They are wonderful ...capture the imagination, describe a beautiful location and are easy to read. Take a look; the chief police officer is very reminiscent of Montalbano.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Thanks for the book recommendations, Anne!

[@elizabethharrell8707]

Did my mb yesterday, moved the king bed and did the ceiling fan, hubby helped too....couldn't believe how much dust under bed and on walls up high(13 ft high ceilings)!

Oooo, enjoy, Anne!

[@jonathanpountney8071]

I had the same experience with a pair of "good" sandals - bought a second pair of them, but instead of wearing them in conjunction with one another, I kept them in the wardrobe as a back up, eventually when I got them out (because the others had worn out) the rubber sole just crumbled away! Lesson learnt. Lorna

[@DianeinDenmark]

Ha ha, Lorna! You are the second person to tell me that today. Glad I wasn't the only one! 🖖😄

[@dianeyoung8068]

I look forward to Monday because Diane usually posts a video.

Aww, how sweet - thanks, Diane!

I'm so excited about your next clothes swap party and I live more than 15 thousand kms away.

[@Griet_aan_C]

Your story about the boots reminded me of last summer, when i wore my sandals after 3 years in the closet. I left a trail of little black rubber pieces at home, at the store and at the hairdressers.....

[@DianeinDenmark]

LOL! At least you know you aren't the only one, Margriet! 😄

[@beritbunny]

What a tough-feeling one-foot-in-front-of-the-other day I’m having today! It does not FEEL like I accomplished anything, though I did do two loads of laundry. And...other...things...? Hmm. 🤔 I think it’s time to refresh with a nap. 😅☺️

[@DianeinDenmark]

Hi Kathey! Yes, it's an IKEA duvet cover, one of my absolute favourites which I bought many years ago...in 2010! The name of the design is Renate Slinga and IKEA sometimes reproduce them/do a different colourway. Hope that helps!

[@buckshot1488]

[@lauravasquez169]

The only thing that I put on the chair is the pillows on top of the bed when I go to sleep. It is not near my closet. I change in my closet and put away my clothes. If my husband leaves anything in the room I put it in his closet and close the doors. It takes me 30 seconds or less to make the bed.... go me!

[@edelmyles9427]

Thanks again for the motivation. I would like to recommend a KZbinr called Christie Ressel and her videos on capsule wardrobes in particular. Even though I do not wish to have a capsule wardrobe her ideas and her concept of modules have made packing so much easier for me.

[@edelmyles9427]

Just to add that I have never bought her courses. Her concept of modules is helpful though and is explained and shown in her capsule wardrobe videos.

[@sss49l]

You look so pretty today!

I just wanted to say how stunning you look today your eyes and hair were really sparkling. When I first saw you it made me say wow. I recently found dressing your truth through you and your fly lady videos. Have you got any advice for choosing the right colours, when you can’t afford to buy the style cards or to join lifestyle. I have read the books and am eager to get it right and frightened to get it all wrong.
