How to start a fly lady system?
So, the first thing you need to know for those who want to always keep up with the housekeeping are the main concepts suggested by Marla Scilly:
- Journal or daily journal . Having got it, you can easily understand your own affairs and responsibilities. So, it is recommended to record not only global plans like plywood wallpaper in the bedroom, but also various small ones. At the same time, plans should be implemented the next day. In addition, we should not forget about the section dedicated to phone numbers of relatives, friends, doctors, etc. Also in this journal it is necessary to include personal lists of desired acquisitions, ideas, tasks.
- Separation into zones . Each site in the house should be divided into spaces. At the same time for each of them it is necessary to allocate a week (7 days for cleaning the kitchen, seven - for the bathroom, etc.).
- Ordinary . This includes everything that so quickly bothers from day to day, but it is so necessary for implementation (to bring children to school, to bring oneself in order, etc.).
- Time . At your fingertips there should always be a timer in order to devote not more than 20 minutes a day to those things that you do not really want to do, but you need to. At the same time, such activities are able to collect a whole day (for example, every day for 15 minutes to put things in a closet and after a couple of days in the dressing room you can find the perfect order).
- Appearance . You should never forget about your appearance . A woman, even the one who sits at home 24 hours a day, should look so that at any moment she should not be ashamed to accept unexpected guests.
