What to do on Saturday if your a Flylady Payroll Homemaker

[@Jerri1275]

Thank you for doing this! I am a full time working single mom to a teen and a toddler. I also follow the Fly Lady program. My home is about 3200 sq feet which includes a mother in law suite. I care for my elderly mother. If I can do this program ANYONE can. I do things a little differently than you described just because I don't want to bog down my whole Saturday cleaning when I can spend it with my kids. Once you get the house decluttered it really only takes a few minutes each night to work on zone cleaning. I can get up early Saturday morning and get my blessing done within a couple of hours. The only thing I would suggest to anyone on the laundry is put it on to wash when you go to bed at night, pop it in the dryer in the morning (it will finish drying before you leave) and fluff it up a few minutes after you get home then you can fold and put away. I do a lot of crock pot meals, easy on dish meals or freezer meals that I have previously made. Anyway just my perspective on it! Have a blessed day :)

I recently found out I can set a timer on my washing machine to start. I usually wake up at 6am, i set uo the timer to start at 5am. I do one load everyday (family of five)

Kat thank you so much for making the payroll babies version. I've been searching for this all over youtube and finally found this! I know this is going to be a life changer❤️❤️❤️

[@emilycarr5698]

This video is EXACTLY what I needed! I am a payroll fly baby and this answered a lot of my questions. I am starting Zone 1 tomorrow (I know it's a Sunday, but I have no choice this time around). I also have to squeeze in a few other things since I just got back from vacation in your neck of the woods. However, I can say that I unpacked to a mostly clean house because I have been loosely follow the Fly Lady system for about 2 weeks before we left. Love your videos!

[@FireflyScout]

I've been loving your videos. Thank you!! And i'm reading the flylady book. Making the bed with the spouse still sleeping made me giggle. I've been making the bed pretty consistently for a couple months now. It was my starting point b/c i knew i could do it before i even began the de-cluttering. I asked him a few weeks ago if he thought it made a difference to him when he came home and the bed was made and i was surprised he said yes! This week i pushed through all the clutter on all the surfaces and all the laundry and dusted everything! It looks awesome and i am so proud of myself and the room. :) The reason i get up first almost always now, is because of our new dog Lucy. (she's a rescue and we've had her 3 weeks

[@kathymcdaniel6685]

Thank you so much, Kat! This is JUST what I needed! You going over what to do during the week as well as the weekend for a Payroll SHE is sooooo helpful. What a gift!

[@vickyl2104]

Thank you! This video was such a blessing. I try so hard to follow other routines not meant for working moms, and always fail. Thank you again.

[@kimperfect2295]

Flylady Kat Can't tell enough jow great you explain everything. Still motivated. My struggle is working part time and figuring out a system for a transition of five preschool classes going 20 minutes a piece one after the other. The ages vary 3 to 5 in age. I teach Spanish for all students.

[@valinarudolph378]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm so glad that I discovered you! I am now a subscriber. I work full time, have a 4 hour round trip commute, a one year old and a three year old, and a husband that works a rotating shift schedule. Needless to say every day is different so it's extremely hard to stick to a routine. But your video gave me some great tips. I have renewed hope!

[@nmernst]

Dear Kat thanks so much for creating this play list. Super helpful now that those of us working from home are going back to the office. It's been three months since I've been at my work - it's gonna feel weird tomorrow.

[@NashvilleSoundHub]

Awesome Baby!!!! Thanks for being my personal Flylady!!!

[@jeredasnyder9719]

I am so thankful for this! As a payroll baby, I needed this system accommodation. It makes sense and fits my working world. Thank you!

[@mariatorres8102]

No make up in the car 🙈🙈 totally guilty about this!! I will definitely be working on that

[@brendamelson8996]

Hi Kat! Thank you so much for this video. I work a traditional Monday-Friday 40 hour work week. This video was so helpful for me. Now I understand how I can be a fly baby too. Im so lucky my husband does all the laundry and most nights the dinner dishes. I have my elderly MIL living in town now and I take care of her finances and grocery shopping. I have finally gotten those things on the same schedule as when I do mine which has been so helpful. Thank you again! ❤

[@amybrizendine1863]

I am starting a new job with longer hours. I will have less time in the evenings and I have been wondering how I will adjust my routines. This video helped me feel better about it. You are such a good adviser.

[@leighturley5663]

Thank you for explaining this in detail. I've just started this program and the zones are confusing me. I like the idea of getting routines down then adding zones. You're beautiful and your videos are SOOO helpful and comforting.

[@Sheskis]

I’ve been trying to figure out how to fit fly lady in while working full time! Thank you !

[@krislm5140]

Thank you SO much for this video! So helpful.

[@big.fan.of.justice5754]

I had an idea about getting that laundry started so it is ready when you get home. If your machine is newer it might have a delayed start button (mine does, as does my Dishwasher) these are great because you can fill, add the soap and set the amount of hours delay before the wash cycle starts. If you have the old style push/pull to start machines you can get a manual/digital timer for your wall socket and it will keep the power from your machine until the time you set .... maybe an hour before you get home. I set mine to start at 5 am so I can get the washing put as soon as I get up. You could also get a 'smart' PowerPoint which does the same thing only you control the socket from your mobile phone (smart socket uses the home wifi). You could start the cycle from work so that it ends when you walk in the door 😄

[@simplyinspiredlife5603]

I have been flying for many years, but going from part time to full time job and moving to a larger house in a different city threw my routines out of control. I have tried many times to get back on track but until finding you have been unsuccessful. I get up at 4:00 in the morning to be at work by 5:30. This makes the normal morning routine which I used to be able to do, impossible. Your videos on the payroll flybabies helped me put it into perspective. You also helped me by understanding that the routine are most important. I always focused on the zones and weekly plan. I come home from work at 1:30 exhausted, but I am try to use this time as my morning and laundry routine and after a nap my evening and bedtime routines. Thank you for giving me "permission" not to follow the weekly plan as prescribed but the reminder that it should still be scheduled.

[@Kate98755]

Could you alert all moms to add the task to check their kids car seat to be sure they’ve dropped them off to daycare, tired parents, especially new ones, forget they have an infant/child in the car, because of heat every year babies left in cars die, thank you for help getting this message to parents

[@smokeonit2322]

K Dickson, the best idea for preventing this I ever heard was for the driver (mom or dad) to put his/her cell phone in the car seat with baby. We might forget baby but NO ONE forgets cell phone. Sad. But. True!!!

[@posysmith1336]

Thanks for thinking of payroll flybabies. Posy payroll flybaby in Palm Beach County.

[@ronnalambeth4695]

Such a beautiful person inside and out thank you for sharing this with us it's a great motivation for us to finally get the things done and love our homes and not be so stressed out we camt even think straight

[@mariaconley409]

oh boy what a challenge today but I'm doing it house blessing and routines and 15 minutes de-cluttering closet wow it sucks have a swollen leg and still doing it having RA is challenging but I'm doing it I'm so happy and it's happy day thank you so much for your daily videos it is so encouraging to know what to do next

[@Rachelkey100]

It's so lovely to get to the end of the video and hear those three precious words. It makes me well up every time. Thank you for the reminder!

[@cheritoms4040]

I’ve been going through your videos they really help understand flylady routines

[@ronnalambeth4695]

Such a great video so helpful

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

Kat: it's exhausting to sit at a desk all day long and think about things you don't want to think about. Me: finally feels understood! 🤭 Honestly, i would prefer to be home, doing zone cleaning and decluttering. I always have more motivation and energy on the weekend.

[@tmpe03]

Thank you so much for this! I work typical 9-6er, M-F - and have working the Flylady on and off to make it work for me. Laundry for our household is done on Sat/or Sun because we're apt dwellers & our laundry room closes an hour after we fight the CA parking lots during the week & we don't have our own machines. Sometimes we also have to go to Laundromat. One thing I haven't master yet is menu planning but that is on my to-do list or project list -- (Take time to learn it task).

[@minarosered6699]

Love your videos! After dragging my heels I finally got my kitchen island which is my major hotspot cleaned and cleared! My dishwasher is finally cleared. My next step is to get my kitchen cabinets organized. I am definitely challenged when it comes to developing a cleaning routine but you motivated me to do that! I hope you continue with these wonderful videos. So very helpful.

[@MsOLWYNN]

Thankyou Kat. I work partime and study a dementia bachelor degree. It's easily a 40 hour week. Your flylady routines are soo helpful. Encouraging in that I am getting most things done. Still struggling with filing those papers I have sorted,And juggling broken routines with decluttering. No free day for me. Loving, Loving the results tho. Hugs from Australia.

[@lepp6598]

Thanks for this. Our house is a little different so I am trying to adapt parts of this and Konmari to fit our home. I work and my honey is retired on disability. My morning routine is Let dogs out Turn on coffee pot Feed cats - ten get dry food, old cat with no teeth gets soft food Feed rabbit Let dogs in Feed dogs Pee Get coffee Dress for work He takes care of dishes during the day, as well as cleaning the litter boxes and sweeping the floor. I don’t wake him unless he needs the car that day (we share one vehicle). I can definitely add swishing the toilet and wiping down the bathroom sink when I am brushing my teeth and hair (I don’t wear makeup unless I’m on stage).

[@susanyounkin4192]

This is exactly what I needed! Thank you!

Thanks Kat! I think you made this for me. 😍

[@kellyhansard]

These are great!! What if you feel like you are so far behind on keeping the house up.... I want it all to be looking great before I start the zones and routines. But I can’t seem to get caught up!!

[@iladiela6955]

love all of what u shared here 👍from malaysia..😙

Vinegar in final rinse helps with avoiding "smell" 😊

Yes so true and no family time so sad for the children

[@acrobaticanna]

What should I do? I do laundry when the kids are asleep. ..and I fold it and can't put away or I would wake them up.

[@jessicacarey441]

i wish we had this in a printable form :(

[@lisamaree3283]

Jessica Carey I'm sure there's an app for changing speech into text. maybe you could play this video to it and then edit it into printable?

[@k-mac5511]

Me too! I’m a visual learner. I want to read it too, and make notes.

[@MsDianaJean]

Kat, thank you for this video! Thank you for respecting working women! I dreaded saturdays growing up Bc we had to work like fools doing so much work. I’m confused how payroll fly ladies get in their deep cleaning? Those are zones, correct? Do you do a different zone each day? PS I like doing my grocery shopping on Sundays after church. I find it relaxing, because I hate how crowded the stores are on Saturday 😉 I attend early service & am usually shopping in a fully stocked, mostly empty store.

[@laineygann7713]

Thank you. This was such a good and easy method to follow. I wondered about something as you were giving morning routine, like makeup. It sounds like it's only for women. Do you do separately for men or is it mainly geared for moms?

[@Nance-th5hw]

Hello Kat 🙋‍♀️ I really love your videos! I have a question about the weekly home blessing. Stripping the bed..does that include the kids bedding also? If not, when should we do the kids bedding? I can’t imagine it’s just once a month in the zone? Thank you 🙏 😌

[@georgannecollett3095]

Hi Flylady Kat...or anyone who knows? I'm a SAHM...im in Australia...so my Sunday is your monday...And today is Monday 10th july....so im wondering, am I in week 2 or wk 3?...the first day of the month was a Saturday so I'm wondering if Saturday....family fun day...counts as the only day of week 1.....or if instead Monday the 3rd July is week .?....thank you

[@anitarobbins6414]

How have all these chores become the responsibility of a working mother? This is ridiculous, I heard nothing about what is the husbands routine.

[@blairbushproject]

anita robbins that’s another video. Haha.

[@thriftywifehappylife7385]

So when do you deap clean? Sorry if this is a stupid question. I am somewhat new to this.

[@mumblesandwool1243]

Add one or 2 "deep clean" tasks a day to your zone. That's the deep cleaning. So if your zone is bathroom, aside from the maintenance cleaning jng pick 2 things to deep clean and get it done. Pick 2 new things each day. You're deep cleaning as you're going so you never have to deep deep clean everything at once

[@mrivera8429]

Hi Kat ! I'am a payroll flybaby. Can you talk about about how to work with the zones ??

[@mrivera8429]

Thanks for your response, get well soon !!

[@melissataulbee2048]

Kat... Would I be considered payroll flybaby since I have 4 days a week off.?? Or should I follow the Flybaby??

[@melissataulbee2048]

Nice!! Thanks

[@saidabouj5650]

Why is it so important to put on your shoes? Shoes inside the house is a no-go in my culture.

[@saidabouj5650]

@@flyladykat Oh good! I'm so used to taking off my shoes when I get into the door, I actually feel better with no shoes on. Thanks for your videos. I've been blessing my house for two weeks now and have all the daily routines down. It's been so helpful!

[@colbyash]

Wow.... I am a working mom.... I work from home FULL TIME as well as am a mom FULL TIME. The label "payroll flybabies" is insulting beyond. I've been following FlyLady and use the system... you are the only one who uses terms to demean others. Please consider your choices in wording. My full time working husband also enjoys most of the FlyLady vids, unfortunately, we are a normal family, who share duties and don't subscribe to the 50's ideas you push constantly.

[@blairbushproject]

colbyash what else would you call it?

[@americaocanada1]

Payroll flybabies is used throughout the Flylady system. How is it demeaning? If you work and are compensated, you are on a payroll. No insult there, just a fact of the matter. 1950's? If you want to make changes the only person you are capable of changing is yourself. You can nag and complain if you have a messy house, but you cannot force others to comply. Many who come for help are at that point and just want to get things moving. While it may be ideal to have work equally divided, it is easier said than done and someone people need work on establishing that.
