Now each room in my home is not ever more than 10 or 15 minutes away from basic tidiness, the laundry is generally up to date, and the bathrooms are safe for visitors. Thats not perfection, thats functionality, and it is less stressful for me. It is peaceful, and I yell less at my kids. And, I dont spend hours cleaning, its just a bit at a time. I also homeschool 2 kids. I have gotten rid of tonnes of stuff. I have found that very psychologically unburdening. I now take better care of myself, including my diet and herbs, because i am not always overwhelmed and 'catching up'. Some people feel stressed by mess and clutter, and I am one of them, and I am grateful to Flylady for the peace of simple routines that I hadn't thought of, which make all the difference. And no, I dont follow the shoes thing, because we have a shoe free house. I take what works for me and discard the rest. Peela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine wearing the same shoes inside my house that were worn outside the house. My goodness, what filth! Everyone who comes to my house knows to wear or bring to wear clean socks because they will be leaving their street shoes at the door. I have a couple clients who wear orthotics in their shoes. I ask them to put plastic shopping bags over their shoes as they walk through the house to the therapy room. Penel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
