I recently signed up to the FLYLady group, and I've been pleasantly surprised at how her little tips and tricks really do seem to be working for getting me into a good house-cleaning routine.
Does anyone follow the FLYlady, and what has been your experience?

I'm scared of the Flylady! She scares me! She sends me all of these nagging emails that make me want to swat her. LOL She does have some good ideas, but who has the time to read all those email, do that stuff, and still have a life? Maybe it was just me, but she made me a nervous wreck. haha!

Ha ha, I had the same experience. I put a stop to her emails, but I can't get her imaginary voice out of my head. Put on your shoes! Shine that sink! Resuce that room! I have to admit, that I use quite a few of her tricks now, but I definitely turned into a nervous wreck trying to do it all.

I adore the FlyLady. I am struggling to put it all into action, but I find those emails so uplifting and I have tried to implement things like shining my sink and doing a swish and swipe in the bathroom.
I have tried to overcome perfectionism and realize that even if you don't do a cleaning task perfectly you are at least farther along than if you hadn't attempted at all.

I did follow the FlyLady for a while, but then we moved and I never could get back in the swing of things, maybe I will try again.

I love that site, I haven't actually signed up as of yet but I have been trying to follow her and I have started a control journal. I just think its so quaint and chic, I love it. I'm not much of a housewife but its really quite inspiring...
