Summary: Really the only organization book you will ever need!!
Review: I have been on the flylady list since 1999. Even though i have never even fully done the program, my house is 1000% better. So many things are just automatic now. I never go to bed without the kitchen being clean, i always sort the mail over the trash as soon as it's brought in. Even when my house gets messy, because i've done so many 27 flings (decluttering), it can be completely neat in under 30 minutes.The thing that's different about this book is it really stresses *decluttering*. So many household organization books spend most of the time telling you how to store and arrange worthless junk that needs to be thrown out. This book really gets the point across that you can not organize clutter! The other thing i love about this system is that it tells you *exactly* what to do in very small, managable steps. no all day projects required. I was completely undiciplined before, now i more often than not take the *do it now* approach. There are also short, simple chapters on menu planning, vacations, and moving. I love that she makes everything as simple as possible. Lastly, this book does so much more than organize your home, it is really about getting your whole life together. When you care for yourself, your family, and your home and everything else will fall in place. I can honestly say that Marla is a wonderful, giving person who has helped so many and asks for nothing in return. I love her!!!

Summary: Babysteps made easier.
Review: Of course I love Fly Lady's website ... With her methods of using routines, decluttering a little each day, and feeling good about yourself are for everyone. Her system has been the only long-lasting, easy to do thing that has worked for me. It has helped the whole family. It seems impossible to spend less time cleaning and having a spotless house, but that's exactly what you get! I wouldn't trade Flylady for all the money in the world!...

Summary: Sink Reflections - The Fly Lady: A magic book, a magic lady!
Review: This book is a must on EVERY messies shelf. The Fly Lady shows you in baby steps and in 15 minute intervals how to get rid of clutter, organise and get your house into shape. This is the best book I have ever read. Written in a format by a former messie to other messies. Other books are usually written by those already organised - not this one. Marla Cilley is The Fly Lady. Marla Cilley is a wonderful lady who has helped hundreds of people get rid of the clutter once and for all. I love this book and absolutely recommend it to any one who needs help around the house; whether you work within the home or outside the home - BUY THIS BOOK!!

Summary: Absolutely unbelievable!
Review: Flylady is like an ADD coach for housewives. I walk through my house these days and wonder "who lives here?" It can't be me...I've always been messy and disorganized and this house is clean and organized.I started "flying" with Flylady only 3 weeks ago and already my house is beautiful. And the amazing thing is, it doesn't feel like work. I can't understand how it happened. The first week I was flying, the only thing I did was shine my sink and put on my shoes. All the rest seemed too hard. Little by little, I started doing her routines, which really take almost no time at all, and before I knew it, my house was looking amazing. I have an entire collection of organizing books, housekeeping books, how-to-stop-procrastinating books, and more. None of them helped. Now I can throw them all out, because I am finally where I always wanted to be - in control. Thank you, Flylady!

Summary: FLYLady is the best!
Review: I have been FLYing since February, and bought this book as soon as it came out. The system is amazing! My life has honestly changed for the better thanks to the FLYLady, as my husband and friends can attest to. Her no-whining, no-excuses method is just the kick-in-the-rear that I and many like myself have needed. The book is great because it puts all of her system at your fingertips, for exploration at your leisure. The testimonials throughout the book are inspiring and affirming. You will never need another housecleaning book again!

Summary: I'm off my "Franny" and saying goodbye to CHAOS!!
Review: When I signed on to the Flylady's website ... to get my house (and life) in order, I found myself addicted to her site and her humorous homespun Southern wisdom. When her book came out I let out a great GASP and bought her book post-haste. Like her site, her book is well organized and thought out, with a no-nonsense approach that isn't intimidating. NO WHINING ALLOWED! It can be hard not too when first starting out, but shining your sink really does put a smile on your face. In the bedroom, I found that making sure my bed was made did the same thing as the sink. With my infant and 2 older daughters I've had to modify my routines some, but her system is so very do-able. You can do ANYTHING for fifteen minutes. What have you got to lose? Some clutter? Thanks FlyLady, you've saved me!

Summary: Life-changing
Review: Flylady's system is life-changing. She has taken me from CHAOS to peace. It's not just about housework either. As you learn from her, you start to apply it to every area of your life. Incredible. I used to be so overwhelmed by everything, but no more. The other day I caught myself wiping out a sink at the orthodontist's office...it's just become habit when I wash my hands!

Summary: LIFE CHANGING !!!!
Review: First, let me tell you that this book is NOT just a bunch of E-mails compiled into one book!!
This Book is Life Changing to say the least!
I went from "someone who NEVER made our bed" (because we were just going to get into it again later) to, "not being able to STAND it when it's not"!!! A bathroom sink that went from, "So awful that it wasn't fit for a truck stop", to "SHINY and Beautiful"... No more clothes piled high in the counter, whiskers everywhere, toothpaste globs and on and on... I was ashamed to let anyone in there!!! Not anymore!! I welcome them.. I want to pull people in my bedroom and bathroom now!! I love my clean house!!
And it's all due to Marla (aka) FlyLady!!
This is NOT a get in your face and get down and dirty-scrub your floors and walls. This is a BABY step program... She puts things into words only we SHE's (explained in the book)understand.
If you are someone who can't seem to get the house in order no matter how HARD you try, you HAVE to buy this book... It is so cheap, and so Richly Blesses You, and Your Family... You will not believe, until you are reading... I LOVE You, FLYLADY !!! You go Girl!!!

Summary: Hmmmmm
Review: This book is the key to overcoming my procrastination and having the wonderful home my family and I deserve. The routines are easy and take just a few minutes a day.
After about six weeks of following the routines, this morning I didn't "dress to my shoes" because I was heading out for a few hours. What a difference that made!! I didn't accomplish much of anything today, except shining my sink. But that's all right because Marla says I'm not behind and can start over again tomorrow. Areas that I'd previously considered cleaned and organized became even cleaner and better organized and areas that were cluttered became cleaner and better organized as I removed items which no longer blessed my family. After 40 years in the same home, I'm finally getting a larger house--just by following Marla Cilley's routines. My home didn't get cluttered in a day and it isn't getting cleaned in a day, but every day it's cleaner than the day before and I still have resources for the rest of my day. No more spring cleaning and fall cleaning for me. I now clean for 15-30 minutes a day. And this book isn't just about organizing my chaos, it's also about remembering to take care of me. Since I set out my meds in the evening, I remember to take them the next morning. If you love your family and your home and yard, this book's perfect for helping you organize your belongings and your life.
