Things I have learned from The Flylady

Getting dressed to the shoes: Every morning get dressed, put on shoes, do your hair and face. You will feel more motivated to get stuff done! True story!

The swish and swipe: put soap (handsoap, shampoo, whatever) into the reservoir of your toilet brush. Every morning after you get ready for the day, swish the toilet with your already-soapy brush. Then use a rag or a clorox wipe to wipe down the toilet and a separate one to wipe down the counter/sink. Voila. Clean bathroom in 2 minutes. Bathroom is always clean and always smells great.

Shiny sink: if you keep your sink shiny and clean you will be less likely to leave dirty dishes in it. Also, shining it before bed lets you wake up and walk into a clean kitchen. Lovely!

15 minute cleans: I can clean the whole kitchen in 15 minutes. I can also clean the whole living room in 15 minutes. If I do just 2 15 minute cleans a day my house stays clean all the time. Yesterday my kitchen only took 10 minutes. The living room took 5! Just set the timer, it really helps. :)

27 boogie flings: whenever you feel up to, run around the house finding stuff to get rid of! Anything you don't love! Clutter included. Find 27 things around the house and watch your house transform. :)
