Fly Lady day 5 and 6

Yesterday was day 5. It was to recognize the negative voices when you hear them and changing the words to be nice to you. Then she wanted me to write them down. I can find myself having the attitude that I can't have a clean house and nothing will ever change. I wrote down that yes I will have a clean house and yes I can do it. Wow, this kind of seems silly, but I'll give it a go- especially if it makes my life a little easier!

Today is day 6. Now we are getting started with the "good" stuff. Today we learn about hot spots. A hot spot is a place where things tend to get built up. Mine is my kitchen counter, desk, beside my bed, file cabinet, fireplace mantle, etc...wow, I have a LOT of hot spots!! I am supposed to take a timer and set it for 2 minutes and just pick up. When the timer goes off then stop. You would be suprised how much clutter you can clear out in just 2 minutes. Now throughou the day us Flybabies get many many e-mails. One e-mail is a reminder about your hot spots and tell you to take 2 or 5 minutes and get them cleared out. Wow, after a couple times clearing they will be clutter free. Then keeping it up every day- I can see how such a small trivial thing can lead to a more organized home.

Tata!!
