FlyLady

[Vort]

Anyone care to offer insights, testimonials, personal experiences, that kind of thing?

[pam]

Well I follow her on facebook. :)

[FairChild]

I adore her. She is empowering, not shaming, and effectively can teach one how to pull it all together---> providing one chooses to follow through with necessary work.

[Vort]

Well I follow her on facebook. :)

I don't know, Pam. Given the riff-raff on FB that you've recently friended, that's not much of an inducement.

Who is "FlyLady"?

I don't know, Pam. Given the riff-raff on FB that you've recently friended, that's not much of an inducement.

And just how would you know who I have friended?

Well, I know you friended me. As Groucho Marx said, "I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member."

I haven't seen flypaper in years. I always got freaked out that I would accidentally get tangled in it, or worse, have it stick to my face as I walked by.

[Wingnut]

Great, now I can't talk about Vort on Pam's FB anymore.

[classylady]

This is the first I've ever heard of Flylady.

[MorningStar]

I tried it years ago when I had dial-up and I could hardly keep up with the plethora of e-mails. I liked the philosophy of just starting where you are, but I was a little overwhelmed by the messages. Maybe I'll give it another try. :)

Why not? I do.

[Backroads]

I don't subscribe... but I look at her stuff on occassion and I love her book.

[Guest]

I love flylady. I unsubscribed to the emails after a week or so. I now just visit the site.

I only really stuck with one thing I learned from flylady: Do not go to bed until you've cleaned your kitchen sink.

I got so fed up with 50 emails a day telling me to put on my shoes and shine my sink that I started replying to them, telling them to go shine her own danged sink. She never replied. To make myself feel better, I like to imagine that her house is actually Hoarders-worthy and her computer is the only place to sit (and therefore my house is much, much cleaner).

I'm sure she's a lovely person. I just don't like being told what to do. And I doubt she has toddler twins (who we have dubbed Destructo Boy and his sidekick, Princess Tornado).

[pam]

Why not? I do.

You are starting to scare me now.

[Bini]

Just did a quick Google of her, and an equally fast browse of the site -- I don't get it. Is it like a Relief Society DIY (and while you're at it, change your attitude) website? And a big LOL that you can receive emails reminding you to clean your house.. Wow.

[mannisue]

For the overwhelmed, full-time working, procrastinating, general anxiety disorder sufferer, I find her to be a breath of fresh air. Nice to have someone say "hey...it's okay to take one thing at a time" and make it manageably incremental.

Never been so fast to unsubscribe to a subscription of daily e-mail avalanches before, however...holy cowlamoly.

[volgadon]

Why not? I do.

She doesn't mean praising.

[pam]

She doesn't mean praising.

And I wasn't aware I had Vort as a facebook friend. :)

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Oh jeez. Now I know why I never got in to her. She sounds like my mother.

Isn't she the maven for people who can't keep their places clean?
