I found the flylady system too complicated for me (I need simple with a capital S :0) but I did learn the benefit of using a system consistently from her.

I wish I drank perked coffee just so that I could set my coffee maker too! That would be the creme de la creme (flavoured!).

Alyssa, 13 days is awesome. There are always going to be nights when it doesn’t work out, but if we try, we can keep those from being the norm.

I find that on nights that it just isn’t going to happen, if I can set my timer for 5 or 10 minutes, I can still plow through enough to make a difference, and sometimes I end up finishing up even though I thought I wouldn’t.

The absolute best benefit of getting things in order, and having help doing it is that you find out that you can actually still have a life beyond housework. Getting your systems down can take years off of being in the “home rut”(meaning not having time for anything else and resigning yourself to it.)

Of course that depends also on how many kids and other responsibilities you have, your support system etc, but you will always come out ahead if you can get a system (what I call my BOOST circuit) and stick to it.

Another benefit of getting the entire family involved with daily chores is that now I actually have time to write!

This was one of my NEw YEar’s GOals. I have cleaned up my kitchen for 13 nights straight and then guess what?? I didn’t do it last night and the sink is full of dishes and it makes me feel horrible. I was sooo tired though and had been having computer trouble. I WILL DO better !
