Who is this Flylady and can she really help me?

[justjulie]

For those of you who subscribe to FlyLady, does it work for you? I work full-time and leave the house at 6:30 a.m. and don't get home until 6:30 p.m. Within an hour we're back out for sporting events, etc. Can she help me or will it just add more stress to my already hectic life?

I think Flylady could be of help to you if you go into it with the knowledge that you'll be do what you can, and not sweat the rest. She gives little daily "missions" that take 5 - 15 minutes each, under the premise that "you can do anything for 15 minutes".

Some days I get to the missions, and some days I don't. Flylady says that "housework done imperfectly still blesses your family", and I like that sentiment. It helps me past my perfectionist nature that makes me reluctant to do anything if I can't do it completely or perfectly. The system is about reducing your stress by managing your home in small bites. I think it could be helpful to you.

To be honest, I like her book...LOVE her book...better than getting the daily emails.

But, if you do the emails, give yourself permission to just delete them if you just can't get to them that day...don't let yourself become overwhelmed. That is so NOT what she's all about!
