Such work is so insidious that it is cyclical, i.e. it simply can not be done once and for all, and secondly, it is not standardized. As a result, the woman is in the position of a hamster in the wheel - the case is replaced by another, there is no end in sight. So week after week. Fatigue accumulates, depression develops, stress becomes chronic. In this difficult situation, time management for a housewife is an effective solution.

Today it is designed for a variety of processes andorganizations a lot of time management systems. But at the base of all lies a couple of common universal rules: drawing up lists of current tasks, clear planning of their activities, regular (weekly or daily) summing up, analysis of the achieved results.

The FLY-lady system is one of the mostoptimal systems of such time-management, it was developed specially for women by American Marla Scilly. The main principle of the Fly-Lady is consistency and gradualness. Do not try to create an ideal order for one day in the house and embrace the immensity. It is not by chance that Marla Silli recommends her followers the method of baby-steps (English small steps). It is necessary to start with something one, and then move with small steps, without trying to do everything at once. The system of the Fly-Lady is based on a few basic principles that help to organize the chaos of homework.

1. Bring yourself in the morning in order (no slippers and bathrobes), put on comfortable shoes and apply makeup. Appearance - it is very important, in no case should you forget about yourself.

2. We create a certain point, which will become the embodiment of order and purity. Marla Scully proposes to use a kitchen sink, as we spend a lot of time in the kitchen and she is always in front of her eyes. First, clean it properly. And then just maintain in this state.

3. We are setting up a special magazine for describing routines-small repetitive everyday affairs that have to be done in the mornings and evenings.

4. So that your cleaning does not turn into a nightmare, we divide the whole house into separate zones and allocate for each your day of the week. For example, a dining and living room - Monday, kitchen - Tuesday, toilet and bathroom - Wednesday, laundry - Thursday, ironing - Friday. We spend on cleaning each zone for not more than one hour. What did not fit this hour is postponed until next time.

5. One of the main principles of the Fly-lord is: "You can not order trash!". Accordingly, our goal every day to find 27 used, unnecessary things and throw. This approach will allow you to get rid of accumulated rubbish inexpensively and gradually.

6. It is timely to extinguish hot spots. In this system we mean hot spots in the apartment, where chaos is easily and quickly formed. It can be a shelf at the front door, a desk, a computer desk and so on.

7. One day a week to devote exclusively to yourself. This means that no home affairs on the selected day, only sleep, rest, cosmetic procedures and other other pleasures. First of all, any housewife is a woman and you can never forget about it.

Flying with a broom and a rag: the essence of the technique

The fly-lady system is aimed at women, nothaving the opportunity to spend a lot of time on the household. They are invited to abandon perfectionism and clear the space around gradually. It is important to get rid of unnecessary things and garbage, plan all your homework and perform the required minimum daily. For enthusiasts, there are even special "tasks Kelly", helping to recall the things that most owners prefer to shelve.

The main idea of ​​the fly-method is the separation of an apartmentor at home to the zones. Daily it is proposed to remove only one zone, spending on the whole process only 15 minutes. Cleaning in the selected area lasts a week, then you need to take over the next section. This technique allows you to pay attention to the entire house, including the most intimate corners.

Pros of the system

The fly-lady system has many fans inall over the world. Sharing their impressions on thematic forums, they share their admiration for clean apartments, a balanced menu and a positive atmosphere that has reigned in the house. It turns out that 15 minutes a day can be spent on cleaning even the busiest woman. In time, discarded rubbish, cleanup on the principle of "clean clean" and the removal of "hot spots" - places where garbage is constantly accumulated, - allows maintaining order in the house without spending extra effort and time. A clear plan gives the impression that the whole process is under control.

Anti-Flight: Who will not help the system?

The principle of the fly-lady is ideal for housewives prone toconstant self-control. Those who are used to acting by inspiration, the framework set by Marla Scilly, seem too rigid. It's enough just to start the process for a couple of days and start all over again.

That the system worked, it is necessary to entice ithome. Not every husband is ready to wipe the sink with a towel after use and not every child will be happy if instead of sharing a reading or walking mother will be busy with the next task of cleaning.

The idea of ​​a fly-lady is not suitable for perfectionists. Some mistresses, passionate about the process, begin to spend the whole days cleaning, increasing the list of obligatory cases indefinitely. As a result, they not only do not have free time, but also significantly increase the cost of households, because modern cleaning tools and newest detergents are not cheap.

Appearance of the fly-lady

Often housewives, waking up and having breakfast,immediately begin to do household chores, sometimes without even changing their dressing gown or pajamas. First of all, take time for yourself. Take a shower, perform all the cosmetic procedures you need, apply a cream, lay your hair, put on beautiful and comfortable clothes. After this, you can proceed to your daily duties. The benefit will not only be that you will feel more confident and attractive. You do not have to think about how not to get into the spilled soup with a wide sleeve of a bathrobe and do not have to change clothes every time you need to take out the garbage. Some supporters of the system recommend in the morning not only to get dressed, but also to wear shoes. Shoes in this case should be comfortable, but not easily removed: for example, sneakers or sneakers. Its presence will help you cope with the temptation to throw it off and fall on the sofa.

Down with the trash

To start living on the fly-lady system, in the firstturn to get rid of unnecessary things. Leave only what you really use, as well as lovely trinkets that make you smile. But do not try to immediately disassemble all cabinets and mezzanines. Determine to yourself the area of ​​work with which you will manage for an hour, and thoughtfully go through things, carefully folding used and discarding in a separate pile are no longer needed. If you are gnawing doubts, put the unnecessary things in a separate box. If within half a year you pulled out a thing from there, she can return to the closet. If not, take the box out.

Clean sink

The kitchen is the face of the house. Try to ensure that this person is always neat. Take for yourself the rule: the sink must always be clean. Do not leave dirty dishes next morning. Even if you are tired and falling from your feet, take a few minutes to remove dirt and water from the sides, and in the morning the kitchen will meet you with freshness.

The Rule of Fifteen Minutes

Break your apartment into zones, and forweek, give one zone for 15 minutes every day. At first glance, this may seem impossible, but this time is enough to keep the house in order. Set the timer and proceed to wipe the dust, remove fingerprints from the lockers, clean the sofas and wash the floors. Once a week, select an hour to do a spring cleaning in the apartment. If you pay 15 minutes each day to your home, this should be enough.

Instructions

1

To become a "winged housewife", learnplan your time: day, week, month, etc. And then act according to the plan. First of all, create in your home a place that personifies the ideal order. The author of the system - Marla Scilly - suggests to consider such a place a kitchen sink. Try to keep it always clean and gradually spread similar habits to all other places in the house.

2

Daily work in the system of the fly-lady is called"Routine". They all can be different. Morning - putting yourself in order, loading laundry into the washing machine, breakfast, washing dishes, etc. Evening - checking the homework of children, planning for tomorrow, etc. Wear comfortable and beautiful clothes at home. In order not to blossom and feel in shape, Marla Scilly advises wearing shoes on lacing. In difficult shoes, there is hardly a desire to lie down on the sofa to look through the magazine, because you have to bend over, untie the knot.

3

Learn to get rid of junk, so you willit is much easier to maintain order. At least once a month, throw out of your house 27 unnecessary things: cosmetics and medicines with the expired shelf life, unsuccessful souvenirs, old magazines read, clothes that have become small or out of fashion. It's a pity to throw something away - give it to those in need. If they did not dare to part with anything, put it in a separate package and hide it for six months. After this period, discard the package without looking inside. After all during this time you have already forgotten about its contents, but since it has not yet been needed, it means that you can live without it.

4

Try not to buy a new one, untilget rid of the old. Have got a pair of kitchen towels, immediately send the old ones to the garbage can. While you do not use available stocks of cereals, pasta or canned food, do not buy new products. This will clear the place in the closet in the kitchen and save money.

5

One of the important points of the fly-lady system: always and immediately clean up after yourself. After all, wash the kitchen sink or wipe the stove immediately after washing dishes or preparing food is much easier than then spending an hour or more to wipe off fatty, stuck in the tile, stains. For two minutes a day, give cleaning "hot spots". These can be considered those places in the house, where, putting something in the morning, - in the evening you get a bunch of garbage. For example, a bedside table near the bed, a coffee table or a shelf in the hallway.

6

Divide the apartment into zones and plan foreach of them has its own time. For example, this week you will be more carefully cleaned in the kitchen, and on the next - in the bedroom or bathroom. Try to spend no more than 15-30 minutes per day cleaning the area. In this way, you can avoid exhausting general cleaning, when in one day you need to tidy the whole house.

7

And one more important postulate of the fly-lady: do not forget to pamper yourself. After all, this system was originally conceived in order to free you from everyday life and make you feel like a woman. Try daily to give yourself at least half an hour - your favorite program on TV, a bath with aromatic oils or a pedicure. Release the weekends from washing and cleaning and dedicate them to the family, reading your favorite books, meeting with friends.
