It's All Been Done Before

After a long hiatus and a good deal of personal reflection, I think that I am finally ready to move forward again. Life and change seems to progress either at a crawl or at faster-than-light speeds. Everything suggests that I just need to keep moving along. Besides, living with someone who obsessively documents everything in video and pictures stirs in me the need to do some documentation of my own. For better or worse, here I am again!

I have been working on a particular "experiment" already, so I may as well continue through the end of the month, and then cue up a new project for the month of December. Consider the rest of this post as an introduction, then.

What is FlyLady?

FlyLady is a website dedicated to de-cluttering and other household cleaning duties. Given that my living situation changed with my employment status, so have my cleaning and organizational needs. [Thankfully, I couldn't have asked for a better result of being laid off. This is a good place to be.] FlyLady tries to take the guesswork out of housework, by providing the tasks and tools for you, right down to weekly and daily schedules.

I've been doing the Beginner's Baby Steps for my new-ish apartment, and I will be posting about them through the end of the month.

My next post provides an overview of FlyLady (The Good, the Bad, and the UGLY). It serves as both introduction and cautionary tale, after my most recent foray into the system.
