Marla SallyMarla SillyAmerican Housewife Marla Scillycame up with several rules that first made all of America, and then the whole world to sparkle. Housewives got rid of trash, cleaned up their bedrooms and garages, threw out thousands of unnecessary things, began to follow themselves and walk around the house in moccasins. Marla claims that before she lived in complete chaos, sobbed in the evenings from impotence and did not have time to do at home no-che-go. As long as it did not occur to her to clean the sink to shine. How it works and for whom this is invented The FlyLady system ("flying housewives") is invented for those women who can never clean up the house for one reason only: irrelevant perfectionism . They are confused, they do not know where to start, they get selected for cleaning for weeks, then spend the whole day with a broom and a rag, and then another month can not take up cleaning - so they are tired! Marla encourages negligent mistresses to forgive themselves, leave the pursuit of perfection, do not try to do everything at once and bless yourself and your house. It is necessary simply

  • give up perfectionism
  • take small steps
  • perform morning and evening "routines" (the so-called at FlyLady complex of identical actions that help to maintain order in the house)
  • clean the sink to shine and always refresh the bed
  • give yourself at least an hour a day

The bottom line is that, according to Marla, you "put thismess is not for one day - and it's foolish to try to fight off everything for the evening. " In order to become a full-fledged participant of the FlyLady system, you must do three things today:

  • Dress and put on your shoes. Only not in an old robe, but in decent clothes, in which you can go out into the street (for example, take out the garbage) and work around the house.
  • Fill the bed.
  • Brush the sink to a dazzling glare.

    • The shell as a whole has some kind of sacralvalue in the system. I do not know how this works, but it's realistic - if you scratch the sink and remove the dishes from it, how the whole space in the house magically "pulls" and strives for purity. Even the husband and children are trying to clean up after themselves, if they see how everything is - and the shell in the first place! The main concepts of the system are the newbies in the system. For them, the most important thing is not to break into general cleaning, to take care of your strengths and move around in minimal steps. "Reminders" - FlyLady sends out about 15 short reminders a day for mails of registered participants. Something like "but you did not forget to remove checks from the table?", "Try to wash the space between the handles of the cabinet", "it's time to throw out 27 things." Someone finds this useful, but beginners from such a system just go crazy - so sign up only if you are an advanced hostess!Go and wash the sinkGo and wash the sinkWear shoes on lacesWear shoes on lacesDo what we've already doneDo what we've already done Controlling magazine -A special notebook in which you have to record a list of your daily activities, important phones, cleaning areas, shopping lists and important thoughts. House talk is the actual cleaning, which takes only 1 hour per week (all the rest you have time to do in short, five-minute approaches within a week). Hot spots are places in your house that are always filled up with all rubbish. Tables near the bed, bedside table in the hallway, empty chair - if an hour after cleaning they are mountains of magazines, papers, clothes and unnecessary things, then there is a "hot spot" before you. Zones are the whole house (or the apartment is divided into five main zones ):

    • Zone 1: entrance / hallway / dining room
    • Zone 2: kitchen / back door / laundry / pantry
    • Zone 3: main bathroom / additional bedroom / nursery / workshop
    • Zone 4: master bedroom / bathroom / toilet
    • Area 5: living room

    Every week you should give all your time(by timer!) cleaning in one of these zones. Timer - to avoid getting carried away and not trying to shoot off the whole house in one night, FlyLady strongly advises you to clean the timer exactly. You need to start with five minutes in the morning and five minutes in the evening, gradually increasing the "cleaning dose" to 15-minute intervals three times a day. Shoes on lacing - if you walk around the house in sneakers or moccasins, you avoid the temptation to lie down and relax, plus you you can always jump out of the entrance and throw out the trash, open the door to a neighbor or go down to the post office. "Boogie Woogie 27" is a short and fun exercise during which you run around the house with a trash can and throw out the 27 first unwanted things on hand. Week of the ruthless "boogie-woogie" - and your home is not recognized! Commandments FlyLady

  • Keep the sink clean and shiny.
  • Dress every morning, even if you do not want it at all. Do not forget about lace-up shoes.
  • Perform every day of your morning and evening routine.
  • Do not let yourself sit at the computer.
  • Clean up after yourself: took out a thing - put it in its place.
  • Do not try to do two things at the same time. Only one at a time!
  • Do not get more than you can remove in 1 hour.
  • Every day, do something for yourself. Every morning and every evening.
  • Try to work as quickly as possible. It will free up time for more pleasant things.
  • Smile always! You can not? Force yourself! It's contagious. Your brain starts to think that everything is in the truth well.
  • Do not forget to laugh every day. And pamper yourself! You deserve it!

    • Personal experienceA little "religious" (well, you know thisthe fanaticism of American guides such as "Change Your Life Over Ten Days"), the FlyLady system still works. It has been tested on thousands of women, including Russians, about the circulation of books translated into many languages ​​(it can be bought at Ozon for 236 rubles) and the number of subscribers for the mailing of http://www.flylady.com/ and http://www.flylady.ru. In Russian Zhzh there is even a community dedicated to cleaning up the FlyLady system and this system as a whole. There are several reviews of participants: "I fly only the fourth day, and changes (both in the apartment and in the mind) are already there. Today I discovered that, unnoticed, "passing by", somehow cleaned the kitchen stove by itself and washed the kettle from the spray of fat. I think that the kettle and the stove just looked at the sink and it became enviable
