The Fly Lady taught me how to have structure and order in my life.
I read this book years ago. The tips and techniques provided brought order from CHAOS (can't have anyone over syndrome) Fly Lady helped me develop a routine and Structure for myself, my children and a bustling house. Now I am an empty nester. I live on a social security disability benefit based on my 1990 income. ( The last year I was well enough to work). I have been continually downsizing from the large houses we lived in when my kids were home, to smaller homes, apartments and now a studio apartment. I got this book to help me distinguish between wants and needs and make a home out of a single room and bathroom. I got an extra copy for a woman I am mentoring who spent 21 years as a housewife raising 7 children. She entered the workforce for the first time recently, is fighting for custody of her youngest four. downsize from a large home to a 2 bedroom apartment she is transforming in to a home for herself and her children. I trust the Fly Lady to help her to FLY (Finally Love Yourself ).Read full review

Picture ROSEANNE as an organizer--firm but funny
I first saw this book four years ago when it first came out. Given the fact that it is still getting a decent price four years later, you know there is something to it. Marla, called the FlyLady because she had a career tieing fishing flies, was a disorganized single mother living in chaos (or as she would say, CHAOS--Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome) when she came up with her system for getting and staying organized. Basically, she believes that a clean home reflects a person's inner state and by building up your own self-esteem and applying some simple tools, you can live a happier life of peace with a home that welcomes you. This book tells some of her life story (living in an abusive home, etc.) as well as some stories reported on her website, flylady.net. I pictured her as a blue collar "Roseanne" who practices both tough love and compassion. Hey, she's been there. I liked this book because it's slim and a fast read and a great reference for when you're feeling down and discouraged. She basically says you should never go to bed without shining your kitchen sink. The sink basically is like a lighthouse beacon, cheering you up enough to try doing other cleaning activities. This little act of nightly discipline helps you establish a routine. (Among her other mantras are to wear tie shoes in the house--tie shoes give you a more productive feeling. If you don't wear shoes in the house, buy shoes meant just for indoors.) Overall, this is a great addition to the library of organizing books as it reflects the opinions of someone who has truly been there.Read full review

Well worth the read!
An easy read! Helped me get my mind and my house organized in way that relieves the stress of day to day "chores". I love the idea, "you can do anything for 15 minutes". Make sure to get a timer with this book. You will be using it a lot! I think her idea of the "27 fling boogie" is one of my favorites and I will be sharing with everyone! Get rid of the clutter and get your house and your mind in order. You will be having more time on your hands, cleaner house and happier spirit! Everyone should try her techniques! Even the "born organized" people!

The big O! Organize without being Overwhelmed!
A great book which will motivate you even if you don't follow all of the steps. The great part about this book is that when you need motivating a couple of years from now this is a book you will grab and devour all over again. Several years ago I felt overwhelmed with too much stuff and didn't think I was good at organizing. (Besides not wanting to spend the time doing it! My very organized mother and brother used to kid me that I must have been adopted!) I found out from doing the baby steps, the fun 27 fling boogies and hot spot fire drills that organizing and keeping the house clean no matter how busy you are is doable. I really got into it and was so proud of my space. I found that life was simpler without so much clutter. The routines rubbed off on other family members making it even better. I ended up with a cleaner, better organized space and had more time for myself. That part still amazes me! I had more time for my hobbies and enjoyed them more. I have used variances of the routines for just my scrapbooking room to keep it organized and for my office which is away from home. If I ever get lazy I can get rejuvenated with Sink Reflections. I highly recommend it if you are like me and don't think that organization is one of your top skills. I think you will be very happy if you use even a portion of the ideas in this book. Go for it!Read full review

Flylady Helps You Declutter Your Home and Your Life!
If you were not "Born Organized" and you are living in "CHAOS" ("Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome!) then this book will help you; at least, it has helped many others in the same situation to recover. I can say with certainty that flylady's system really does work! Her system is very simple. Anyone can do it. The best part about it is that, when you use her system, you never get behind. There is no failure with this system. You have permission to go at your own pace. In fact, "baby steps" are encouraged and "perfectionism" is discouraged. As flylady says, your house did not get messy in one day and it is not going to get clean in one day either. What flylady does is, slowly and step by step, teach you routines that will work for you. The very first routine you will learn is how to shine your sink, and to make sure that it is shiny every night before you go to bed. If you stick to that routine every evening, it means that you will be greeted by your shiny sink every morning. Once you have that routine down, it's on to the next one. And it builds from there...15 minutes at a time, until finally, not only are you living in a clean house but you are also easily able to maintain it. The humor in this book is great too. Flylady is very empathetic; mostly, I think, because she really has been in the same clutter-filled situation herself, and she found a way to dig herself out of it. She is never judgemental. In my opinion flylady's system only has a couple of very minor downsides. One of them: she insists that you get dressed to shoes every morning. The shoes part just does not work for me; we don't like wearing our shoes inside. Also, there are a lot of acronyms to keep track of (CHAOS, etc.) None of this is that problematic, because with this system you can always just use what works for you and ignore the rest. For the most part I find the system to be very user-friendly and workable. It works for me! To test flylady's methods for yourself, the first thing you want to do is buy her book. Then go to her web site and sign up for her email list. At first it might seem a little strange- getting daily emails from someone you've never met, never mind emails that say things like "where's your laundry?" But once you get used to it you'll probably find that the system works very well. (And if you don't like the emails, you can always unsubscribe.) Then buy the book for your friends/family who weren't "born organized"! Definitely recommended!Read full review
