@ruthmoeller98597 years ago Unbeknownst to me I've been doing a version of this already, but perhaps not simple enough. My categories are housework, yardwork, projects, errands, church & volunteer commitments, and fun. It is a sad commentary on my life that I actually have to have a category for fun, and it is usually the last category to be fulfilled, if at all. It is too hard to fold a paper in 6ths, and I like the list for things to discuss, plus the chance to record and hold items for later, so I will be experimenting with your system for the next few weeks to see how it works for me compared to my old way. Thanks for exposing me to new ideas.
BTW, my father came to Canada from Denmark (surname Albers) after WW II so I am happy for an opportunity to see Danish cities and countryside through you. Not sure if I will ever be able to come and visit, but I would dearly love to.
Have a great day! ... 4

@cynthiarose51296 years ago Planning but not doing. That is the theme of my life! Thanks to you and Flylady I am actually doing some things - 15 minutes at a time. 10

@sagpwe65597 years ago LOVE how simple this is. You both captured and organized on a list all erands and tasks that need to be done. Look forward to seeing how you will store papers that accompany some items on the list. Complements the FlyLady Schedule so well. ... 10

@violinzeta2 years ago 🤯 came for hygge, ended up with sooooooo much more! Demystifying Fly lady and now this. Thank you for making a real, easy and simple way to do things...I now have routines that actually work! You make me feel like I can actually do things in spite of my medical situation! 💖 ... 1

@karencompton59265 years ago When you said we've got the zones for your house, I thought....yeah....and this will be zones for my head! Thanks Diane...I am revisiting some key things whilst re-doing the babysteps (Day 8!) Thank you xx 2

@julieibbotson61937 years ago Great explanation as ever, Diane. This fits in quite nicely with a book I'm currently reading about getting a better night's (Sleep by Nick Littlehales). He suggests that many people experience difficulty sleeping because of all these thoughts running around our heads - that's certainly true for me - if I could press a 'pause' button for my brain I would! He recommends making a list as you have described, and goes on to say that, as everything has been put down on paper, you can go to bed with the feeling that you have consciously addressed the issues for now. ... 6

@MsOLWYNN7 years ago So far so good Diane.Trying to not get overwhelmed. I see the benefit of planning. So many little tasks, mending, projects, errands, tasks,etc. Can see how things just got overlooked but niggled at my brain. I am prioritising I guess as I add to these categories. Thank you. Can't wait for tomorrow's installment. ... 1

@TheLatonya9997 years ago You should really do a style channel or discuss fashion on this channel. You look stunning in every video and have impeccable style! Perhaps how to look stunning and pulled together while implementing this system would be a fitting topic? ... 15

@TressasSouthernHomeCooking7 years ago Great job with explaining the steps. You are a very good mentor and I am so thankful you make these videos. You are also such a pleasure to watch. Hope you have a fantastic day!!-------Tressa Daigle 4

@Julie-ok5fr7 years ago I knew it! This is what you mentioned a few months back where you fold the paper into fourths. {Home/Phone-Online/Discuss/Errand Day} I do this now, Diane. I started it when you 1st mentioned it back in June, I believe. One day, I searched for that past video to see how to do it again because I had tossed my old/completed list before remembering the 4 headings I needed to make out a fresh one ..lol It is such a relief to say "Good-Bye" to that messy, jumbled list all scribbled together at random and have it transformed into this. I so look forward to my new, freshly folded piece of paper every couple of weeks or so. I still have to stop myself though, before I begin to go back to my old habit of making a massive list of disconnected thoughts ;) ... 3

@lclively56767 years ago Hi (DID) Diane in Denmark,
The 'Outside the House' list is brilliant.
I can't tell you how many weeks that a queen size feather matress top has sat in the corner, because I forget about having to take it to the laundry-mat.
It is on my list now, to remind me to grab it when I do outside errands.
I also have a vase in the car that I have fortten for weeks, It too is on my Outside the House errand list to remind me to bring it in.
Not so Lively in MA ... 2

@monikamarsollek34937 years ago ❣Hi Diane, only 3 days and I trapped in some traps already...didn't check the list totally, so forgot a birthday, finished some things at once, added some things, well I definitely got more things done than usual;-). I never thought of first steps, all or nothing;-)... If I make a plan: as soon as I've finished the writing down, a weird feeling of resistance is coming up, usually not all things are nice and easy to do, but even IF they are easy! So it's kind of a fight with myself. I ordered the book from David Allen yesterday and, hurray, it's available in German and Amazon prime is so quick, it came before my morning routine was done!! I've noticed there are so many things to be done, I'll take a lesson in my tea times, thank you for your tips! Love, Monika❣ ... 1

@labrat88767 years ago You've mentioned that you all had to change your names from anything with flylady in them to something else. There's a woman on you tube who still, even today calls herself Flylady Kat. Any ideas why, she's not Marla. ... 5

@hdubbs91742 years ago Hi Diane, I'm having some trouble distinguishing between the "discuss" list and the "smartphone" list. I think I don't see much of a difference, because most all of the discussions I have are via phone/text. ...
