Follow up on Flylady
I'm glad that some of you have checked out the Flylady site. It is true that you can get inundated by the emails. The reminders, as I stated because of living on the other side of the world, get an immediate deletion. I read some of the testimonials and some I don't. The only ones I truly pay attention too are the ones from Flylady and Kelly. Then if after a couple of lines I don't find it relevant the delete button gets used.
I bought a note book the other day and that is going to be my 'control journal'. I have made a note of my morning, after work and before dinner routines. Some of the things on my list are things I've put down that I need to get done, not necessiarly ideas from the site.
The thing I love is the 'doing something for 15 minutes'. Today I used it when I was ironing. I would iron for 15 mins then go do something else, then back to the ironing. Makes an arduous task manageable. I'm hoping that I will find the more I do during the week the more time I have for me and family time on the weekend.
So this site is really a personal thing. It is what I needed something to give me an idea on how to get a handle on things. Little things at a time, a bit here and a bit there and eventually it will get done. I know our study will take a while but a little bit here and there and I will start to make headway.
It was so daunting walking into the house and seeing the mess and going where do I start! Then I'd go, tomorrow I'll do it and well tomorrow came and avoidance as well. This time I just tackle a little bit and then move on.
And I feel like I've accomplished something, even if it is just a tiny thing.
As silly as it sounds I needed someone to give me an idea or a format for me to follow and Flylady was it.

I agree with you about being overwhelmed by all of the flylady e-mails. I created two 'filters' in my e-mail account. One is a folder labeled flylady and every e-mail that includes the word 'flylady' gets automatically put into this folder. This way, if I get behind and a little overwhelmed by all the e-mails, I can easily dump it and start fresh. The other 'filter' moves every e-mail that has the word 'testimonial' into another folder. I rarely read these and this way I can easily sort them out. Just my 2 cents. ;)
