what other site out there has helped you get organized

[luvmyfam444]

other than flylady? I've tried twice to be a member & just get WAAAY to overwhelmed - I know I shouldn't but I do -I've read her book (EXCELLENT!) but just haven't gotten it all together...

I'm looking for somewhere else that has good info out there on making my household function (you know with a schedule & such) that will be easy to follow & that I won't feel overwhelmed with...any ideas???

I learned a lot about housekeeping with Organized Home. It was a link I found through Better Homes and Gardens.

Now I do FlyLady. But this Organized Home site is wonderful, it has lots of articles, and it has a message board.

In my quest to declutter and be more organized besides Flylady and organizedhome.com there is

Have you tried to use the Flylady method without getting all of the e-mails? I felt overwhelmed when I got the e-mails constantly (not to mention annoyed!). It worked better for me to adapt the methods at my own pace, without the constant reminders.

Oraganized home is my favourite.


Good luck!

You can get the Flylady emails in digest form if its easier. One email a day and you can go thru them all at once. SOme people say this is better. I do some flylady stuff but not all. Decluttering my house seems to organize it better. Also, moving things around inspires me to organize more!

The first couple times I tried Flylady I felt very overwhelmed too, but after trying numerous other systems I just kept going back to Flylady. Once I really started doing it "her" way, I could NOT believe how easy my life got. I use my control journal and routines at work and home and it has made an unbelievable difference.

One of the things that helped me finally "get it" was to realize that the emails are just reminders. If I had already done that, or wasn't going to do it, I would just delete the email w/o any guilt.

I also think that you should consider trying Flylady without getting the e-mails. I do that sometimes. Other times I get the e-mails, but have them go into a Flylady folder that I can look at if I want or delete. Just looking at the title of the e-mails can help motivate me.
