SHE is Flying

OK, so here's my first post - I'll have to explain to those 'not in the know' what a SHE is and why this SHE is Flying...

SHE stands for Sidetracked Home Executive. BC (Before Children) I had a very organised home and everything had it's place and I kept things pretty clean and tidy.
Now that I have a husband and kids the organisational skills seem to have left me and I find myself continuously juggling between various tasks and feel I get nothing done.
I start a job and don't get to finish it as something else appears on my path - yes, I get side tracked.
So in a bid to get back on track, I found out about Fly Lady who has developed a way to get one's home and life out of CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome) into some state of order.

The Fly Lady routines are based on the 'Sidetracked Home Executives' Index-Card file system designed by Pam Young & Peggy Jones.

Fly Lady has been given permission to use the SHE system and she transformed it into a very successful system of home management. Her book 'Sink Reflections' gives a good explanation of why some people are BO (Born Organised) and others live in CHAOS.

So, this SHE is flying - well, I've been following the Fly Lady routines for ages, but never really stuck to it as I keep getting sidetracked - GOSH - surprise!
This time I've sat down and set up the routines to work for the whole family.
Today was the first time test running the routines and so far so good.
