Quote From: debbieofjcI saw part of the show today, and found myself yelling at the TV, "Tell them about FlyLady!!".
I've had trouble with clutter, and feelings of being overwhelmed, not knowing what to do about it.
I've read several books, including Sandra Felton's "How Not to Be a Messie" (and others). I got on a message board for "Messies" and saw someone talking about "FlyLady".
The website is http://www.flylady.net. Flylady is Marla Cilley and her crew. You can subscribe (free!) and get daily e-mail reminders and essays to help you get out of "CHAOS" (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome).
She can teach you how to get rid of your clutter and make your home a peaceful place. Her system uses baby steps (Our homes didn't get messy overnight, and it's gonna take some time to get it in order and keep it that way). My house is by no means great yet, but I'm improving!
I highly recommend Flylady! She (Marla Cilley) also has a book called "Sink Reflections".

Debbie, I wholeheartedly agree! I've belonged to a "Flylady" group for about 2 years now, I'm such a huge advocate as to what this way of thinking can do to give us SHEs (Sidetracked Home Executives) the tools to improve our lives, homes, and relationships. I actually haven't watched today's episode yet, but I posted on my group's messageboard yesterday telling everyone to watch. In reading their responses tonight, I just had to come to the Dr Phil site and post something about Flylady. Who would have thought there was already one here? *wink* The general consensus of my group is that Flylady.net would be a big help to some of these people on the show today, there was some concern that the solutions given didn't focus on long-term internal changes and were too 'quick'. In fact I wondered in my post yesterday, "I wonder if Flylady will ever make Dr Phil's radar?". Now there's a show I'd like to see!
