Im a fly lady. To put it in simple terms you tackle depressing areas of your house in 15 minute spurts, this can be once twice or even 4 times a day..mine tends to be just once a day. I stopped over december due to being busy with crafting for christmas, but i have started to pick it back up again. I set myself goals and make lists for things that need to be achieved that day/week or month, i also meal plan by meal planning i have knocked my weekly food bill down from £90 to £60 a week, for everything. (who says you can't eat healthy foods on a budget?!) My mum moans her house is a cluttered tip and she doesn't know where to start. I tell her just tackle one small area at a time, ie one double cupboard , throw out or donate everything you don't need. The above book shelf in the living room was depressing me , so instead of looking at it and feeling down, i set myslef the 15 min task and managed to complete it.Tommorrow(well todays really) is to paint a small section of my chimney breast (the inside hole) so i can put a kitchen unit into it for holding all the odd cooking equipment like pans and to put all the above jigsaw puzzles in. The fly lady approach can be applied to anything in your life, learning a new technique for example, instead of looking at the whole picture and getting over whelmed, cut it down into more manageable chunks and your more likely to succeed . A baby learns to crawl before it can walk (well mine didn't they just fish flopped everywhere)
