Flylady really works

several years ago I tried to be a fly baby and follow the teachings of the Flylady. However life got in the way. Well this week I was able to finally get the house in order, following some of the basic guidelines of her website. Taking one room at a time (except my bedroom that is next week's project) I followed step by step each listing for the different zones. Now tonight taking the time to followup with declutter, put up and put away I was able to in 30 minutes:
unload and reload the dishwasher,
declutter my counters and wipe them down,
reset my dining room for breakfast,
shine my sink,
damp mop my kitchen floor,
wipe down a piece of furniture (wooden magazine rack).
Run upstairs and put fresh hand towels in the girls bathroom,
reload their fridge with water,
carry down dirty laundry and trash,
and start a load of laundry.

I was surprized and amazed. Her system really does work. However let's see if I can keep it up for 21 days.
That will be the real test when I go back to work and I am so exhausted that it is all I can do just to shower and crawl into bed. We'll see then.
But for now I am happy with my shiny sinks

I'll keep you posted.
