Zone 1 Cleaning for the FIRST TIME | Fly Lady | Why establishing Routines is Key

[@jeanlaubenthal698]

I don’t know how many children you have but the flylady kids section is awesome. It is self-esteem building. PLUS they could help you.

[@jcarnahan4189]

I have used Flylady for over 10 years. My favorite saying is 'Jump in where you are.' Trust the system. So proud you are starting.

[@andreabryant9328]

Hi I think your truly wonderful. I suffer from depression all my life. I clean because it helps me to feel better. But I never knew anyone felt like me. Thank you for telling your stories. Andrea B. from Michigan

[@joannamckay1405]

I started the Fly Lady in February, including zone cleaning. So I’m in month 2 currently and can honestly tell you that it’s WAY easier the second time around. Keep up the great work, your house looks beautiful!

[@LeafLikeOnATree]

That's very encouraging thank you!

[@gardengirl4409]

Good to know bcz I'm on week 2

[@chrisholzhauer3698]

Thanks for speaking on working through chronic & mental illness while juggling the same demands of everyone else. Once you said that, I immediately subscribed. I really appreciate your videos!

[@stephenbrinn292]

Anna here. Good job. I have been doing flylady now for 2 weeks. I'm shocked on how much you get done in 15 minutes.

[@andica1214]

Thanks to Steph’s simple explanation, I started FlyLady System this year, and it’s been the glue to my house lol

[@Caseyd1966]

I also modified the flylady zones to fit my house - I have 8 zones, and I just loop through them. So yes, I only hit each zone ever 2 months, but my house is still much cleaner than it was before!

[@sabinewren6588]

You did so great. And you are right, they are guidelines, not super strict rules. I love the secret slob too.

[@diananore1368]

I’ve done FlyLady for years and although I don’t do all her components, the morning and evening routines are ingrained and happen without thought. My house can be crazy but the essential things happen..bathrooms clean, laundry, dishes, bed made. This was motivational in the zone cleaning component. BTW, I love how you’ve decorated your little laundry area with black and white accents.

[@Daringtobemyself]

Your comment about morning and evening routines is motivational. I'm hoping to get to the point where I'm able to do them without much thought.

[@debkendall7230]

I can't seem to get motivated. I work full-time and am exhausted by the time I get home. Weekends I can't seem to get out of my own way. You are an inspiration thank you

[@fianorian]

You go girl! I was impressed with the office. I had to laugh at your comment about it taking you thirty plus years to realise that cleaning in small chunks was better than blitzing the whole house. It took me about sixty years to realise that. :D

[@janecoder1]

I too have physical/mental issues. Your demonstration and encouragement mean so much to me I'm tearful. I'm going to try the method. I have had flyladys book for 20 years and I'm going try to tweak it to my zones like you have. I pray to God this works for you and me too. Tomorrow is another day and I'm going to see if I can rebuild the plantation. Pray for me as I pray for you also.

[@rachaelerin1]

I love that you are starting FlyLady! Out of all the cleaning gurus, she’s definitely the one that speaks to me. She seems to talk about you like a whole person rather than just doling out task lists. The Secret Slob and Diane in Denmark are the best!

[@LeafLikeOnATree]

You said it perfectly!

[@jmcmurrah]

Agreed… Learning through Diane in Denmark’s 31 baby steps changed everything for me. And the week I put my back out and could barely move, it was amazing how having an orderly and clean home really helped.

[@lynnlogan8357]

Great. Fly lady is very good. I like that you are adjusting her program to fit you and your life. Best wishes. I found the more I cleaned regularly, the more tired I got of my STUFF and put a lot away so I wouldn't have to dust it. yeah.

[@erinkimmel9479]

As a newly married wife trying to take care of my first apartment I started with flylady but quickly modified it once I got daily routines down. You'll get there eventually. Fortunately I didn't have a lot of stuff then because we had no money and I moved countries when I got married. The decluttering is the key to making it easy to stay on top of daily routines and zones.

[@tracywaring3769]

If we could all move countries before starting the fly lady system ,we could declutter so much , even better move to a dessert island we wouldn't need anything , just a basket to collect cocanuts,no zones and no clutter,definitely my idea of heaven, im off to tell husband we need to look for an island bye xx

[@fiat3879]

“That helps set people’s expectations low.”😂 I like that! Thank you for simplifying your video:) very helpful!

[@allaboutmookie3688]

Mighty mama, a hoarders heart, and you are like my main 3 cleaning and decluttering channels I watch

[@LeafLikeOnATree]

I am in good company ❤️❤️❤️

[@rachelkarr8623]

Omg, I just LOVE you. "Domestically challenged" is the stage of my life right now with chronic pain and anxiety. I also homeschool like you, and just flying by the seat of my pants everyday. Thanks for all the encouragement and inspiration!!!

[@supkirsten]

Just sending love today 💜

[@janetmitchell7865]

Just want to say how proud of u Iam for wat u have accomplished

[@joannebailey7463]

I just discovered your channel and am definitely subscribing! I have been on an off FlyLady for years!! From living in a 1 floor house with 2 daughters in public school then highschool. Then a 2 bedroom apartment to a one bedroom apartment with just my husband. I worked full time during all these years and we were involved in sports so needless to say I failed at Fly Lady. Then we moved in with my daughter, her husband and 5 kids (teenagers) My husband was suffering from Alzheimer's so I spent the majority of my time keeping up with him. He was hospitalised and then was moved into a continuous care facility and I moved into an apartment not far away. He passed away 2 months later and it has been almost 6 years that I have lived on my own in a 2 bedroom apartment. Now I have moderate to severe osteoarthritis in both knees, left hip and right hand! My apartment looks like a hoarders haven but it isn't! Just needed that push and a reminder that FlyLady times and zones and can be adjusted to work for my capabilities and health issues!! You just brightened my day! Thank you!😉

[@bridgetwallace9892]

Hi, I'm new to your channel and I just love you and your personality. You're so relatable and easy to watch. I'm finishing up my last parts of dealing with my double mastectomy so I'm getting back into my routine and rhythm of life. Breast cancer sucks but I'm here and so, so thankful. I LOVE to clean and organize, your home is like a dream to me. It's just so relaxing and calming for me to clean. I listen to my music and clean for hours and hours. I have just always loved to clean, I do my sister's house for her too. I'm weird lol. I also love to do yard work! I like to mow, plant my flowers just anything outside. Landscaping is so much fun, I like to get creative with my plants and flowers. So, now I'm going to binge watch your other videos lol. So happy I found your channel, your just what I needed thank you. And...I'm in Texas too, I live in Lewisville. The weather has been so weird but it's Texas lol.

[@ginaramos2414]

You do a great job!!! I to suffer from depression and pain, my aunt inspired me to clean and declutter! I have so much stuff! Lol. And finding your channel also inspired me and motivated me to get it done a take it day by day. As long as it gets done . Thank you for posting all your videos!

[@deecasey6893]

The sewing room looks amazing you put a big dent in it

[@MB-gv3zs]

I'm amazed at how great you made your rooms in such a short time! Good job!

[@peggyprose]

Don't forget to wipe the baseboards and the top of door frames!😊 I like your channel...just the right balance of talk and work! 👍

[@ldwernychuk]

Thank you for this video. I appreciate how you told us told us how you were mentally and physically feeling through out everything. And how you plan on modifying everything to work for your body and your mind. Great job!!

[@nancyhurt7145]

My fav is Minimal Mom that really got me to declutter first. I’ve followed Fly Lady too but you have to get rid of clutter first to make it so much easier!

[@EricaLucasLoves]

I love how you set gentle plans for yourself and know your triggers.

[@ElizabethJW]

Okay you are soooo relatable! When you said you know your body and 15 mins isn’t realistic I know exactly what you mean. Love that I just found your channel 🤗💗

[@mariastellamelendez8670]

I was so happy to see you asked your beautiful children help. I raised 4 children, we all worked together to make our home and yard organized. We lived in New England so we had to rake the leaves in Autumn everyone had a rake and we had a good time outside working together. The children are grownup now and love thier working lives.

[@pigsfly08]

Great video- I started by watching Cass’s channel “clutterbug” to find my organization style. I also had the rest of my family take her clutter bug test just so I knew how/why they kept their spaces in the home the way they did. Thru Cass (author of clutterbug) I was introduced to Dana K White’s channel “A Slob Comes Clean”. Her container method of keeping/organizing items really helped my teenager understand we only have so much room in our home. LOL Then I began watching Dawn’s channel “The Minimal Mom”. She is great also but I know I will never be a minimalist.

[@LeafLikeOnATree]

I should do that with my family. Great suggestion!

[@ptcreations8947]

LOVE Dana! She has literally saved me so many times with her method lol.... ❤

[@lesjay6968]

Dana changed my life...my way of thinking..5steps..easy peasy

[@lesjay6968]

Decluttered 40 yrs of stuff...using Dana's method...it worked for me...fly lady is too complicated for me lol

[@sandradummer4726]

I watch a few other u-tube cleaning and organization people to see how they do there jobs at home. I feel I can learn something from everyone.

[@michelesusanne1]

Caulking goes around the base of the toilet, except for the back, so if it leaks, the water will have a place to come out and you can see the leak right away. Great motivation!💯%

[@vmontemayor1288]

You did a fantastic job! Dealing with depression is a task alone, I love how you tackled a lot of areas and didn’t spend all day

[@AWanderingEye]

For folks not yet up to zone cleaning: here's one new habit for everyone in house to adopt: See something on the floor? Pick it up! Learned this from my ol Nana. She would even pick up stray threads from the carpet as she spent time in a room. Keeps you physically active, incrementally keeps space at "tidy enough" between weekly reset/monthly zone clean.

[@kristyreed4923]

I love the Fly Lady system! She’s great for my ADD brain and makes it manageable. You did a fabulous job! I’m so inspired by you and now want to vacuum something.

[@amber2981]

Hi Shannon! I just finished watching your Q&A video. You have no idea how much you have helped droves of us who struggle everyday. You are such a blessing! I have chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. This year has been especially tough because I’ve been forced to stay in bed most of this year suffering from extreme exhaustion. I still have Christmas up and haven’t been able to clean house since Christmas Eve. 🤦‍♀️ I’ve never celebrated St Patty’s Day with Santa Claus but here goes! 😂 You talked in the video about your friend who you asked to help clean your home who hurt you so terribly. It broke my heart. Friends are there to lift us up and provide love and support. Please know this. Her response was a direct reflection of her-not you. Something had to be going on with her (or sadly, lacking within her) because her response makes zero sense. You are such a lovely person, inside and out, and you did not deserve being treated that way. Not by her, not by anyone. You are a rock star to me and I’m sure tons of others! I cannot thank you enough for your channel. I pray God will continue to give you the energy, time and strength you need to keep going-in life and on KZbin!! ❤️

[@LeafLikeOnATree]

Thank you so much for this sweet thoughtful comment 🥰

[@Joybug_51]

What a start to Fly Lady cleaning! I love to watch Diane in Denmark for her fly lady routines. Look through her video list for 42 Baby Steps. She is the woman who inspired the Secret Slob, but also stresses self care and shares so many great ideas and how to fit them into your week, including planning for friends and treats.

[@hamburg42010]

I watch also Diane of Denmark also

[@reginaeudy9249]

You did a great job! I continually searched for a cleaning system that worked and I tried everything. When I found FlyLady it was a lightbulb moment for me. I finally found a system that worked for me and I've been doing it for over 5 years. You'll find the zones will get easier, especially if you've decluttered, because they're not as dirty and it's even quicker to clean. Keep up the great work.

[@kristinestocker]

Domestically challenged! I love it ❤️

[@AWanderingEye]

For you non content makers here: take pictures before and after to record your progress. It really helps!

[@michelepastele5347]

That is a great idea!

[@lesjay6968]

I did that...took pics,it works great,u feel so accomplished...also my sis in law and I sent pics back and forth..to give each other motivation...we used Dana k Whites system..it works!

[@belindaroberts3090]

I so love how real you are ❤

[@SuzySylvania]

Dang, girl! You got so much done! I needed your motivational videos 35 years ago! Your complete honesty and openness is a breath of fresh air! I love the music, too!

[@lynnhendley8910]

The Key is not to overwhelmed and burnout. Plus giving yourself Grace. It's okay whatever plan works for you and It's okay . To do one two things or a bunch depending on how you feel for that day. . Love your videos. Thank you for keeping it real.

[@tarat26]

Thank you for this and your words. Am slowly accepting my health issues and pain are chronic. I have been in denial and pushing myself to do more instead - often resulting in me being burnt out and unable to do anything for days. Thanks for sharing xx

[@LeafLikeOnATree]

I think when we admit to ourselves that the fatigue and pain is out of our immediate control we can be kinder to ourselves when we don't get it all done and allow time for our bodies to rest.

[@shaneswing1114]

Just started watching your videos!! I love you!! You are funny, and personable!! Your makeup is professional!! I am way overweight, have Diabetes, bad knee and hip and chronic Bipolar. I am 67 but in my heart I am 40!! I have just lost 15 pounds by smaller portions and very little sweets or potatoes! Got 70 more to go.. will be slow. Today hubs and I cleaned rugs, dusted, vacuumed, cleaned microwave, .he cleaned the entire vacuum cleaner, ran dishwasher with vinegar, ran stove for 3 hours to self clean and the washing machine to self clean for 4 hours. I cooked an easy dinner and of course cleaned kitchen as soon as we finished eating. Our kids are grown and live out of state. Keep going but give yourself time to rest. One zone a week sounds good but your zone 1 was so much at one time!! You must have a huge home. Blessings to you!! You are awesome!! I follow Jessie Christine and Cleaning Therapy with Jenny.

[@monicamary5281]

Love how you’re channel makes us all feel more related too! I am a mom of a three year old, two year old and a newborn in the next few weeks and I love the realness of you’re channel!

[@martinemikita9281]

Omg... my kids were the same years apart... now they are 19,18, and 16.... it was ROUGH.... Of course it's soo rewarding however, it was so so hard!!! Just do what u can... I'm very OCD, however I had to learn to relax... snuggle ur newborn as much as u can... of course the other children as well.... u know how it is tho... the 2 and 3 year old wld rather run around and be silly!!!

[@vivianhudacek1556]

Like you, I find FlyLady a bit overwhelming, despite having been introduced to her many years ago. I like Steph’s modifications (The Secret Slob), Dana K. White (A Slob Comes Clean), & Diane in Denmark. Having the daily routines is key! Zones have always been the bane of my existence, but I’m giving them another whirl. You are killing yourself doing SO much in the zone-of-the-week. You finished in 2 days. I think that the idea is to work a set amount of time daily all week, but leave what you don’t get done until the next trip through the zone. I enjoy your music & your humor & honesty. I have no business sitting here watching you clean when I should be up & doing something! :).

[@emilywoods4869]

I have chronic pain, MDD, GAD and perfectionism, so I can relate so much. Your channel is super encouraging, thank you for sharing. I’m trying to change my mindset that any cleaning I get done, no matter how small, is a win. God bless. 🌸

[@racheltheshadesoforange8700]

I have been binge watching your videos since I found your channel this week. I love how real and open you are on camera. And you have given me so much motivation to declutter my own house. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

[@joannebailey7463]

I have been "Domestically Challenged" my whole life so I hear you! I am 72 and live alone in an apartment so you would think it would be clean...nope...cuz like you I have a body that now tells me off when I do anything strenuous and I have Osteoarthritis in both knees, my left hip and my right hand. I actually started following FlyLady at about the same age as you are now... Ironically I heard about her through my one stepdaughter...her father was 10 years older than me so she was only 18 years younger than me. I also watch The Secret Slob. You are down to earth and you adapt FlyLady to fit your body's ability to handle so much and no more! Your comment about looking yourself in the mirror at the end reminded me of Mel Robbins ...she says every morning look yourself in the mirror and give yourself a "high five". High fives give you a dopamine boost!

[@phylliscampbell2325]

I am so impressed! I know the video was sped up, but you were able to clean up quickly and efficiently!!! And look how beautiful it is! I’m hoping you will do a whole house tour when you are further into this system. Congrats on a great job!

[@tinariddell6234]

I think you set up a really realistic plan for yourself with reasonable goals and lots of “small wins” built in!! And yes, decluttering along the way will give you less inventory to manage and have to clean around. You got this!!!

[@Aphantys]

I know how you feel. We were used to clean the house for hours! Now we take it by areas, bedrooms one day, bathrooms the other and another day for kitchen and livingroom. Thanks for the video

[@dorothyodenthal128]

So look forward to your videos. Waiting for the next one.😊

[@madzabinga8382]

Shannon, you are helping me so much. I resonated with everything you said, and found this video really motivating and a great explanation of FlyLady, which has been overwhelming for me to follow in the past. Thank you so much! You are a bright shiny star here in the KZbin world. Hope to see your channel continue to grow!

[@SephoraBelle]

Your thought process is on point when you noted about maintaining a routine. The key to any successful outcome is consistency and as you note correctly, a Monster Clean is great, but if its not maintained consistently, you'll find yourself right back at Monster Cleaning Days again in no time. What I have found true is consistent cleaning offers maintenance, that your home doesn't get out of hand, the small but daily investment of time and effort works and it eliminates the need to letting your home go and then finding out when you do want it clean you have to put in hours and major effort. You're definitely on the right track, well done and all the best.

[@sarahmegga]

I love that the rug for the bathroom landed so perfectly! 😀

[@lindahill1199]

I've been following FlyLady 1 1/2 years now. I like the Zone idea and it works better for me. I don't do play day but I do try to schedule one day for errands and doctor appointments, if any, on a Thursday if possible. I like her videos but tune in every day. You have a beautiful house and I hope you'll find some peace. We're all in the same boat.

[@supkirsten]

I love this video 💜 You did such an amazing job on your office. Color me impressed. Do people say that anymore? I don’t care, I WAS impressed and inspired

[@barbaraguttman7422]

I want to thank you for your videos. It is so inspiering to have someone who understands the strugle of cleaning and tiding up with depression. It give me understanding that I am not alone and also tips how to work with my motivation problem and low energy. Bless you and you have a fan from Hungary now. Go go sister!

[@valeriericedorf2128]

I like how down to earth and practical you are.

[@sarahcoateshealth]

Really loved when you said marathon cleaning left you wore out with no plan to maintain it. That is exactly how I have been cleaning and didn’t realize how it felt until I heard you verbalized it

[@toyinokon8047]

Great job, I am not a subscriber but I check-in from time to time. You mentioned people gave good suggestions so I hope you don’t mind me adding one or two. For your rest days and or any days maybe sort your towels and beddings in a separate bin and have your gals (and son when he is a little older) do that laundry once or twice a week. For folding the sheets my siblings and I used to play a game called “patty cake” and that is how my mum taught us to fold sheets and large items until we could do it on our own. With time hopefully they will learn to do their own laundry also. And for maintaining motivation, the second suggestion is a check list or calendar “in the laundry room” for tracking the days they complete the sheets and towels including folding and maybe a reward for each month they actually complete the laundry and folding. In the meantime We are all Cheering you on, Take as many rest days as you need and as time goes on hopefully you all will find that balance that works for your family! Be Well.

[@ambermcclellan6920]

So smart to track your time and adjust accordingly. I didn’t do that initially with flylady and regretted it. Your zone 1 looks great! Thank you for inspiring me to get back on the flylady routines! 💕

[@sherinichols6404]

I love your zone cleaning. I was just looking into in. For the bathroom, if you want to keep the pedestal sink, you could add a cabinet above the toilet for storage.

[@greekgirl9897]

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! IT'S NOT EASY TO TAKE CARE OF A HOME AND FAMILY.

[@katieevans4904]

I hit play on a random suggestion video while cleaning my kitchen and was introduced to you. You might be my new bestie. I relate on so many levels, from extreme clutter issues, spoons, depression cleans, and marathon cleaning. I've never been able to fully take on the flylady method, but I LOVE the theory and think it can be life changing, especially for us spoonies. You've motivated me to get back on that wagon, so thank you! I'll be on this journey with you. 🖤

[@anoukweustink9592]

Great job Shannon! I use the flylady system to help recover from depression, it is a stuggle still, but having everything on a check list keeps my head a little less full. And checking of stuff is really a good feeling😉

[@LeafLikeOnATree]

This is very encouraging. I’m hoping it helps me too when I’m going through depressive episodes.

[@catharinab8860]

Great job in this one, Shannon!

[@Kimba911911]

I know I’m watching this video late … but the whole thing about FlyLady is that she DOESN’T overwhelm … BECAUSE she recommends to do JUST the 15 minutes. She doesn’t doesn’t expect, or even recommend, to do all of the possible tasks in the week’s zone. That way you won’t get tired … you’re still inspired … and you actually look forward to doing your 15 minutes the next day. That would have been nice to see. …Kim

[@just-me6023]

Hi Shannon! You did an awesome job. This week I have started to watch "Melinda plain and simple" her videos are inspiring to me. Her kitchen drawers are so organized....new GOAL for me!

[@pammiteff3219]

Thanks for the great inspiration! I started the fly lady system, but fell off the wagon before I got to round 2 with zone cleaning. You have inspired me to try again. I like the small successes the flylady give you instead of the failures of trying to be perfect at everything. Thank you again for the inspiration.

[@leighcochran8276]

Great job ❤️ a few posts back I said I was going to work on my master bedroom closet. I GOT IT DONE! everything is organized and dusted and wiped down, vacuumed, and tidied up. I also decluttered some clothes

[@laurasgarden3205]

Hey hey. Your video just randomly popped up for me. Love watching!! I’ve been married almost 14 years and I’m just figuring out what works for me. The Secret Slob is my game changer. Couldn’t get through the day without her. Also, the FlyLady says to declutter first bit that meant to be done as a whole. Go through your house and declutter EVERYTHING then you can start zone cleaning. It will make some cleaning sooo much nicer to do and will help with the mental part of it all. I promise it will work out better that way. I tried zone cleaning several times before I decluttered and it did not work at all. Was taking too long to zone clean and I got frustrated. Can t wait to watch more if your videos while I’m folding laundry, doing dishes or making dinner😘😘

[@jonnaborosky8836]

I added some beautiful peel and stick tiles to a small wall in my bathroom. It has the look if stone mixed with brushed brass pieces scattered throughout. The brushed brass matches the hardware. It was so simple and very low cost. People have actually gasped over how good it looks.

[@cherylcoolidge8249]

I have used the flylady plan for years. It has helped me maintain an uncluttered clean home.

[@carrierangel9573]

I discovered The Secret Slob about a month ago. Like you, I deal with chronic health issues, mostly pain related. I am also a stay at home homeschooling mom. Today I was trying to find a video to motivate me. Thank you. I look forward to seeing more!

[@deniselatimer5675]

I love your idea for changing up the timing of the zones. I have tried following flylady before and it frustrated me when I only had a day or two for the last zone. I think I am stealing this idea and going to try and figure out something that will work for me. I have decluttered and tidy but suck at keeping up on the deep cleaning. Thanks for keeping it real. I don’t need to see perfect, I need to see reality! Love your videos!

[@moms9457]

As a spoonie, the flylady makes so much sense to me too. One thing that helped is being okay with taking 2 weeks for a zone sometimes. If you have a few bad days in a week and can only handle your morning/evening routines then the zones get the shaft. The basic routines do enough to keep my house from looking too crazy, and once I started, my family kind of got used to the order in the house- the weirdest thing happens where they can keep it going on your bad days. They might not be wiped perfectly but my counters don't generally have things that stay on them longer than necessary.

[@curban616]

You should be so proud of yourself for what you accomplish every day!

[@gail7932]

Hi Shannon! Wonderful job on zone 1. Just remember to pace yourself. I’ve learned that a timer is your best friend. And not everything on your list needs done. I’m trying to break my perfection habit and still find myself going back to marathon mode. Rely on the check lists as guides not as everything needs completed. Sometimes I comeback to an item as a 2-5 minute hotspot if I’m up for it. I’m trying to break the habit of saying this will take too long by using a timer and I’m always surprised what I got finished. Way to go girl! / I didn’t notice your pants at all. I just notice how stunningly beautiful you are! 😃 / Someday you will need to do a video about what you make. As another crafty friend, I always appreciate other artsy people’s creations! Hugs! Em.

Ever since I started Watching this channel I've been able to relate to you and you've really helped me turn my house around! Many thanks as I'm also domestically challenged 🧡

Shannon! Do you have any idea how inspiring you are?? There's something so magical about all those check marks! I love love love you and your channel! I know I keep saying it whenever I comment, but I mean it from the bottom of my heart, and I am going to keep telling you! I've had an exhausting day and I told my husband I was going to sit down and watch "my Shannon" because I needed some time to chill with a friend who wasn't asking anything of me other than to say something kind to myself. You are incredible 💓 Keep it up girl!
