Anyone want to try Flylady for 31 days with me?

I've decided to try it for 31 days. What's the worst that can happen? Okay actually I can imagine horrific things happening, like wanting to take flylady and stick her where the sun does NOT shine but I'll give it a shot

I signed up a few years ago and didn't have time to clean because I got 1,000 emails an hour from Miss Flylady.

I'm NOT signing up for the emails... I'm just commiting to the 31 days of baby steps. No emails. Just a thing to do each day for 31 days.

I did it a while back and actually got a lot accomplished. I'm game for doing it another 30 days and learn a new "habit"

You can change the email settings on the site for one per day instead of 100+ every day if you'd like. I might check and see if you can make it a weekly email instead...

Well if that's the case, sure I will do it.

Just click in the link in the OP -- it just has 31 tasks, one for each day. So I'm starting with that, not ready for 25153265 emails a day. :

hmmm, I may be in too. I did it a yr or two ago and the e-mails killed me, but if I do a daily digest or something it wouldn't be too bad.

Nice sink! I may as well get the BS out and scrub mine right now.

I'm in! I've joined before and dropped out several times before, but this time I think I can do it!!! (Of course, I may just be nuts to even try with a 4 month old and a 21 month old )

I'm in! I actually started yesterday, so I'm going onto day 3 of Flylady. I set the email to daily digest as I already have too many emails to read

I would love to do Fly Lady but I never even made it past day one.

I just can't keep my sink dry! Or dishes out of it! The moment I do the dishes, clean out the sink, make it all pretty and shiny, DP goes and eats a PB&J sandwich and tosses a sticky knife in the sink.

I wish she had a version directed towards moms who work out of the house 40 hours a week. *That* I could use!

I work out of the house 40+ hours a week and have been doing flylady (with varying degrees of success/committment) for years. It can be done, just takes a little bit of tweaking.
