The Flylady EVENING ROUTINE - tips and tricks!

[@fleurmp3820]

Great video. Your clothing is always so beautiful - you have great taste. I am seeing excellent progress with flying! I was very excited to have completed all...yes ALL the laundry in the house this week!!! I went to put a load of laundry on Saturday and realised I didn't need to. I can't tell you when that last happened. Thanks Flylady Diane for all the encouragement. Off to start my Weekly Home Blessing now x

Enjoy your WHB - another great tool!

The best advice my mom ever gave me was, "clean while you go" in the kitchen. I clean or load the chopping board, the knives, the measuring cups, pots/pans and clean countertops/stove/sink as I cook so when I sit down to dinner everything is already clean. Then we each load our plate/dish into the dishwasher after eating.

[@iammlyss]

Same here. So I only have to put my plate and fork into the dishwasher after finishing meal. Clean the table and that’s it. This is a life time routine I’ve learned as a kid. However same with putting out the dishes after the dishwasher is finished. I hate to put everything out in the morning, I’ll do it in the evening so I’ll come onto a fresh clean kitchen in the morning.

[@amyt4346]

I love your clothes and sense of style. Your method of communication is very calming.

[@patriceyoung7479]

If you're a morning person, who is very tired by dinner time, try getting your dinner ready in the afternoon. All of the prep dishes can get washed and put away then. Pop the dinner in the oven when it's time to eat and clean up is so quick and easy. Morning people's energy fades as their day goes on, so anything that can be done early in the day will make the later part of the day go easier.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Hi Patrice! I love putting dinner in the crockpot in the morning...I have quite a few recipes on my recipes/crafts playlist 🖐🏼😀

[@patriceyoung7479]

PERFECT 👍🏻

Love having only 10 dresses as my entire wardrobe. They are hung in a row with the matching jewelry hung on the hanger with each dress. No thinking, no planning. Dress on the left is the outfit of the day. I add a sweater if it’s chilly or I’ll be in the air conditioning.

[@MsAwesomeGiraffe]

What a fabulous idea! I have far too many tops and bottoms that just don't go together and always looking for the perfect match that isn't wearing with jeans, I've actually bought myself a couple of simple shift dresses for the summer and love wearing them, I think I might have to add more and let go of some of the separate pieces. Thank you :)

[@cherylannjohnson8801]

Thanks, Diane! I’ve been doing my evening routine now for about six months and love it! We are a retired couple and I’ve noticed that my husband now jumps up after dinner & cleans the sink many evenings. We are so comfortable in our clean cottage. You are an inspiring teacher...thanks so much. Our home feels very hygge these days! You are a blessing.

I can second to all that you have said, Cheryl. Even the part about husband cleaning the sink sometimes😊

Aww, this is such an uplifting comment. I hope you are still as happy.

You're very stylish! And it's so fun watching you grooving along as you cleaned your kitchen.

Washing utensils/pans as I prepare dinner has been the best time saver. There is very little left after dinner to clean up.

[@petmomful2260]

I had 4 kids, and cleaning up after them got very automatic for me. Once I got bitten by a dog at work, (I am a vet tech), and I had to go to the ER. After they stitched up my hand, I started cleaning up the bandage papers! The nurse stopped me and said I did not have to do that! I was embarrassed, and realized how used to cleaning up I had become! lol

[@haircandykina]

So funny! I clean up our table at restaurants after we eat. I simply don’t feel right leaving a mess for someone else to clean. I’m sure the servers love me 😂

[@blessedwifeandmama]

[@cv7357]

So true about the routines following us where we are. While camping I make the bed in the morning and can't stand going to bed if the camper is messy. Also get my camping coffee pot ready in the evening so that in the morning I just flip the switch, ride my bike to the restrooms and get back to nice hot coffee to relax outside with before hubby gets up and the campground gets busy. FlyLady routines have made my life so much nicer...

[@DianeinDenmark]

Yes, we will swish and swipe anywhere!

[@cv7357]

Actually, we don't have a bathroom in our camper. And I don't clean toilets at our camp ground. They are public and gross. The kind you hover over because you don't dare touch. They clean them twice a day but ewe! So glad I do a lot of squats and have strong quads... haha.

[@cherylhaynes1264]

I used to let my hand wash items sit out to dry on my stove after dinner. That made the kitchen look messy and it made unnecessary work for me in the morning. Now I take seconds (literally) to dry them with a towel and put them right away. Best idea ever!

[@heidinelson6283]

Great video! Your clothes are so beautiful and classy. Thank you for sharing how you do your routines.

[@valkyriesardo278]

Agree. Begin meal preparation by filling the sink with wash water. There is time to wash, dry, and put away the prepware while the food is cooking. You need to hover over the meal as it cooks anyway so cleanup is the best use of that time. Also the prepware is easiest to clean before the ingredients have had time to dry up. When you've finished dining, all that remains to clean are the dinner plates and utensils and perhaps a cookpot or two. Sometimes I've been able to wash the pots right after the food is cooked. At other times, I use a serving bowl so I can start soaking a pot before sitting down to eat. It feels marvelous to walk into a clean kitchen right after a delightful meal. Wash up a few little things without breaking that pleasant mood.

[@luciegallagher2710]

I am revisiting the flylady system now and have been enjoying your videos. I am working on my morning and evening routine and weekly focus for a few weeks then I’ll incorporate zones later. I’m making kid zones to match mine so that it’s easier for them to stay motivated and I can guide them since they are young. Thank you so much for sharing all your flylady wisdom with us. I live in the US but when my husband and I visited a friend in Austria and we traveled to Germany as well and their bedding is the same way. We loved the simplicity of everything and it really inspired us to work on our own spaces. I wish the mixture of the cultures in America could bring back their little nuggets of tradition to the new generations. I have a lot of British decent and tea time was very big for my mom growing up. I would love to make that part of my tradition with my littles. The simple things are really so delightful.

Hi Diane, I found your evening routine video helpful, thank you. I loved seeing you having fun and dancing around your kitchen while doing the clean up! Your setting the table for breakfast the night before prompts me to share part of my morning routine. When I empty the dishwasher in the morning, I set the table for dinner - things go smoother in the evening when the table is already set! :-)

[@DianeinDenmark]

YES!!! I do the same thing, Jane! (Or the kids do, if they empty the dishwasher). We will cut any corners that we can! No point in putting the dishes in the cupboard if we are going to be using them at the next meal! :-)

I am the same in the morning. Especially when I have a event in the morning, I make my cereal up the night before, except for the milk, of course. I put it in the fridge. The next morning I tell myself, eating won't take long; it is already ready. Otherwise my brain will exaggerate how long this will take, and stay in bed. LOL.

Hey Diane, I have been jealous that you have more than 1 duvet cover so I finally allowed myself to get a 2nd one...it arrived today... yay!!! I love the option to switch them up.

[@Sarah-ij3hg]

Lovely video tfs! It'd be interesting to see how you layer your routines with the weekly home blessing and cleaning a zone. Just thinking about it seems overwhelming 😨Maybe because I work full time / facing up to the fact I'm the adult now and no one else will do it for me?!? 😀

I love this. Both the Evening and Morning videos give me some ideas. My evening is a bit all over the place, but finally starting to smooth out. I work...kind of from home. We have a small office outside the house I use to teach English. Anyway, Things like the Swish and Swipe can only be done in the evening for me (I live with my husband, his parents and his sister...so five adults total. Oh, and a cute dog :). I'm trying to figure out how to work in hotspots and cleaning (though I am only on day 7 tomorrow). I have to manage it around the others in the house, and some hotspots/cleaning can only be done at certain times. The zone idea is giving me ideas on how to manage it better, so I can't wait to get to that part of the Baby Steps. This is so exciting!

[@kathycathy9555]

I've realised the dish washer is the key. I spend HOURS washing up. I have a friend who's a natural Flygentleman and he spends WAY less time than I doing housework. Also less water flying around so less mopping on the floor.

Diane, I'm a mum and definatly got into the ropey mum uniform. My husband has heard me moaning about how frumpy I look he's said I can have an allotment of money for my birthday to do and buy a capsual wardrobe (I would obviously donate or trash all the old clothes for decluttering) but anyhow you always look so wonderful and well put together do you have any tips ?

[@DianeinDenmark]

Hi Jemma! How fun - but you don't need to spend money! Are you looking out your outfit the night before, and picking out a piece of jewellry, scarf or other accessory? Wear a fancy top (one that you might have been keeping for 'formal') with a pair of dark jeans. My uniform is dark jeans, a top (I don't suit t-shirts) plus a cardigan/jacket. I get together with friends and we have clothes swap parties (we all bring a bag of things we have decluttered). It's a great way to try new styles without forking out. And I buy a lot of my jewellry from charity shops :-)

[@jemmaspanswick6029]

Hi Diane, thank you for the suggestions I don't own any jewelery other than my wedding rings I currently only have old tattered jeans some tshirts and out of shape jumpers🙈I love the idea or charity shops though!!!

[@Irene-gq4jr]

There are lots of good Flylady videos out there but your style really speaks to me Diane. Maybe it's because I'm Scottish too :-) I guess I've been a Flybaby for years without knowing it, as I do tend to put things away, do laundry regularly and avoid having too much stuff. However my current challenge of trying to redecorate my home to sell it *and* keep everything else under control is going to require more structure to make decent progress, so I am grateful for content like yours to help me get more organized. If you or anyone else who reads this could advise, I'd be grateful to know whether you think it is worth letting the daily routines slip somewhat to bash on with the decorating and ruthless dejunking or ensuring everything is kept in order and taking a little longer to get the projects finished. I abhor a mess, but only have so much time in a day so could put up with a little chaos for the goal of moving in with my fiancé, who is helping as much as he can for he's keen to put the second ring on my finger.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Hi Irene! I'd keep going with a basic daily routine...you really need to keep some sanity going with all that decorating/decluttering going on. Remember to use a timer and take regular breaks 😃

[@Irene-gq4jr]

@@DianeinDenmark Thanks very much Diane, that's what I needed to hear. Our issue has been there is no real time pressure for us and we've fiddle-faddled along to get things done. My inclination has been to try to keep things in order, as this has gone on so long I'd have gone insane living in chaos all this time!

[@robinlynn2503]

I'm so glad that I came across your channel! I had been looking into the KonMari way of de-cluttering and organizing, but I just couldn't get past the thought of holdind each item in my handing to see if it brings sparks joy & if not, thanking the item for working for me until then and sending it off with love. I am a pack rat. . . putting "feelings" or "personality" on inatimate objects is something I have done since I was a very young child. That is why I AM a pack rat. I don't need a system (that has helped sooooooo many people, I realize) to help fan that flame. I am inspired by watching channels of women who are applying the Flylady method. It seems to be a solid, no guess-work method. I need that! Is there one of Flylady's books that you would recommend for a new want-to-be-a-Flybaby? Thank you for any input! -Robin

Hello! I love watching your evening routine. I was wondering why you use a timer (You said you do this when you switch on your music.)? Thanks!

Hi Natasha! Setting a timer helps me focus and stay on task. And if I don't like working, the timer reminds me that I only have to work for a certain amount of time and after that I can relax. Hope that helps!

[@natashaderksen5485]

@@DianeinDenmark thanks! I like to use it in a similar way - I time my work to show myself that it really doesn't take long so that the next time I'm tempted to skip it, I remember it only actually takes about 8 or so minutes. Odd how it makes it more fun but it does! ;)

[@LathaLukose]

I have a similar night routie. but my kitchen cleanup takes me 30 mins to an hour. I am confused on how to do weekly home blessing , zone, morning and night all in one day. Also zone cleaning has say 10 items, how do you complete those in 60 mins in a week? do we do how many we can of 10 this week and do the rest next week?

[@DianeinDenmark]

Hi Mom! Please don't be so hard on yourself and try to do the whole system at once. I know that you are following the 31 babysteps which is a fantastic place to start. Keep your routines short and be consistent with them before adding in the Weekly Home Blessing. After you are comfortable doing that, you can add in one or two missions for the zones. Are you using a timer, and did you make a Control Journal (we start that on day 8 of the Babysteps)? They will keep you on track and stop you from spending too much time. Remember to take breaks, too! Hugs!

Hi Diege! I'm from Edinburgh so I feel right at home with the Danish weather!

Lovely, thank you for all your tips. -------------- Speaking of DYT: All on you- your sweater, necklace, nail polish, all clothes, colors are type1. Your energy likewise. Looking at facial features apple cheeks, rounded profile around your chin, sparkle in your eyes, round eyes, are all suggesting type one. All but your haircut that however used to be type 1. My guess is you are 1/4 and absolutely complete in that. Your secondary type four inspires tidiness and order, while type one carries it all through with indisputable sparkle and lightness. BTW, the beige outfit behind on your door looks sensational on a type one. :-) PS Maybe it is the other way round..I checked your Insta now......maybe you embraced the type one now, if so great!! You look fantastic and 1/4 can also look very sleek and put tighter in a type 1 choices (like th white jacket with flowing rounded back, marine trousers and block yet type one colors. Splendid!! It makes me happy when it all comes together. :-)) no matter whom it concerns.

I have a question. I don’t mind laying out my clothes for tomorrow but what to do with my worn clothes? Do you trow them in the laundry or hang them? I have a tendency to pile them up. And then think after an few days I don’t like the mess I’ll trow them in the washpile. 😕

[@DianeinDenmark]

I air my clothes overnight and then put them back in the wardrobe. If they are dirty, they go straight in the washing basket. Don't pile them on "The Chair"! LOL!

[@acrobaticanna]

All good...but I put the knives behind the tap so no one gets cut washing up later!

Hi FlyLady Diane, I love the clean look of no window curtains. What do you do about privacy (I am ground level). Do you have special windows that can change to frosty opaque ? LC in Massachusetts

[@DianeinDenmark]

We have blinds in some of the rooms, so we can pull them down as required.

[@emacwakeup]

Just tidied up everywhere. And feeling good. Could you please do a video on how you store your clothes. Thanks so much :)

[@DianeinDenmark]

I have a playlist called "Building a wardrobe" where you can see my bedroom/clothes storage 👋

[@brandiwine84]

Great video! I wonder what music you like to listen to while you clean? I heard about you in the comments of a video of one of my fave KZbinrs, Money Mom in Texas

[@DianeinDenmark]

Hi Brandi and welcome! I listen to upbeat music (house, disco)

Diane in Denmark ah lochend/restalrig (ish) how did you end up in Copenhagen? I’m planning to come to Copenhagen for my 50th in September! I have fallen in love with scandi style I watch signe in Use less. I’m exploring hygge and Lagom ( which I know is Swedish) I am on the autistic spectrum and experience poor executive function so I am hoping that the FlyLady structure will help me. I’m out at the gyle with a one bedroom upper villa so space is very limited. I am working on my own concept of “my capsule life” and if I could just get a bit more organised I am planning to create content on social media have camera and mic but trying to get spae to set up is nigh on impossible. I am just on baby step 6 so have Managed to get up fold my cover dressed to shoes and makeup postit notes currently being placed where I will see them had my breakfast hoping coffee and cigarette will count I shown my sink last night and have pulled a disk file to begin working on my control folder so a very productive morning. And swif and swiped bathroom and kitchen. Wow things never go this smoothly. Will do little messages as you requested. Tomorrow will be a bigger challenge as back at work much love. I bless you jennifree

I love how you set out the most beautiful outfits each evening, with jewelry and vests. I'm envious. I work on my little farm every day and my clothing has to consist of overalls, and mens long sleeve button down shirts to protect me from the sun and the dirt. Yuck. I wish I could look so nice as you. At least I put my make-up on though. That makes me feel pretty.

[@DianeinDenmark]

+Nancy Sahrakar Yes, anything that makes *you* feel good!

[@kathysteeves9202]

Love this hairdo on you, your eyes pop!

[@bluejay5531]

Thank you Diane! day 8 on my evening routine here....always basic 4 + 1 bonus steps (hot spot/prepare for bed-make-up off etc/lay out outfit/go to bed decent hour + shiny sink).....at the end of this second week I shall add another step, that I used to do a long time ago (and you do too) prepare morning breakfast table...Not doing more than this as my main focus while my decluttering is going on...take care!!

[@DianeinDenmark]

Slow and steady will get you there, Blue Jay!
