Hey Karen,
Check out her website
www.flylady.net to get the whole scoop.
Basically, she started this email 'support' group for women who are trying to get their houses under control. It's an interesting approach, she talks about using morning, afternoon and evening routines to get you through the day, how to make cleaning simple, how to plan your week so that things get done, stuff like that. She sends out a LOT of emails, like 15 a day sometimes, with little reminders about cleaning the 'zone' you are working in for the week, and all kinds of other things. It's definately not for everyone, some people just get annoyed by the whole thing.
Personally I've noticed a real difference in my house and my family since we started using the Flylady approach, things are cleaner, dinners are healthier, we're all happier.
Again, not for everyone, but if you are feeling overwhelmed by chores, it might be worth checking out.
