Flylady

A few years ago my born-organized (that's a compliment) cousin, Marlene, introduced me to Flylady. If you don't know what Flylady is and does, it's a group of women who's only purpose is to help other women to learn to be more organized and less stressed. (Ok. So it's a little more than that, but you'll have to check her out yourself www.flylady.net.) Anyway, I've been trying to do her program ever since. So far, I'm not doing the best, but I don't want to quit. One thing she tells people is to not worry, "you're not behind, just jump in where you are!" I love that! Definitely takes the pressure off doesn't it? The other tip that she has that I use regularly is to use a timer. I set it for 15 minutes and tackle whatever project needs doing. You can do anything for 15 minutes!

I just printed off her Holiday Control Journal last night. (I know it's September, but if I don't start soon, I'll look like "Frazzled Franny" up there!) I love it! It's mainly for Christmas, but I plan on adding a few pages to the CJ to help me through October and November, too.
I've got a fun family party in the works for Oct. Plus, my friend roped me into being Lyndsi's Room Mother, so that adds a Halloween party for 20 something 5 & 6-year-olds. See where having a little extra organization could help me?? Yeah, me too.

I did the bedtime routine last night and the morning one today. Now it's 9:30 and I'm sitting relatively stress-free, blogging. I love it!! Happy Flying!!
