Marla Cilley, a cleaning and organizing specialist from North Carolina, started the FlyLady mentoring group more than twenty years ago (the name FlyLady was inspired by her love of fly-fishing). Her aim was to offer a practical approach to organizing that prevents homeowners from feeling overwhelmed.
The FlyLady system breaks down household cleaning and organizing projects into focused 15-minute increments. The easiest way to follow the method is to sign up for Cilley's emails, which you can do for free on the FlyLady website. You'll receive daily messages, including a checklist for the day, suggested cleaning routines, projects to tackle for the week, and testimonials from other FlyLady users.
She starts you out with “Baby Steps.” Yes, she literally calls it that. Then she moves on to decluttering different zones.
