Clean Baby Clean!

Well, I recently discovered a new website flylady. This is a Christian website that helps you to keep your house neat and clean. It helps you establish small, managable morning and evening routines that you do daily, so that you never have to have a "cleaning day" or do "spring cleaning." I know some people like to get it out of the way, but I don't have time to do that at this time in my life (plus, I'm not so sure I have the motivation...the computer and books like to steal my time LOL)! To give to a small taste, here is flylady's eleven commandments:

FlyLady's Eleven Commandments

1. Keep your sink clean and shiny.


2. Get dressed every morning, even if you don’t feel like it. Don’t forget your lace-up shoes.


3. Do your morning and before bedtime routine everyday.


4. Don’t allow yourself to be sidetracked by the computer.


5. Pick up after yourself. If you get it out, put it away.


6. Don’t try to do two projects at once. ONE JOB AT A TIME.


7. Don’t pull out more than you can put back in one hour.


8. Do something for yourself everyday, maybe every morning and night.


9. Work as fast as you can to get the job done. This will give you more time to play later.


10. Smile even when you don’t feel like it. It is contagious. Make your mind up to be happy and you will be.


11. Don’t forget to laugh everyday. Pamper yourself, you deserve it.

Michelle,
If you gave them your e-mail get ready to be inundated with e-mail reminders to do this and do that! Flylady didn't work to well for me, but it did give me a few ideas. Good Luck!

Thanks for the info Sis Prince! I wasn't planning on doing it to the letter or giving them my e-mail, but I was going to try to get my routines in order and do a little bit everyday. I just hate looking forward to cleaning day, and so often it doesn't get done as well as I would like. So I'm hoping the little bit everyday will work better for me!
