The Fly Lady taught me that when I get up, I should make my bed, put on my tennis shoes, and FLY to the laundry room to get a load started. It works. She has many other tricks that I'm sure would make my life more productive, but these three have stuck. If you find me at home at any time of the day, you will find me in these.... even in a skirt (I put my other cute shoes back on when I go back out into the world):
Tennis shoes are my not-so-secret tool for getting more done in my day. I don't know what it is, but as soon as I put them on, I work SO much better. I'm not kidding. I go from snail to cheetah in a flash. It's weird, but it works!
Here's the next one:
Got yard work to do? Put on gloves. Even if you are going out for just a little while. You will get 2x the amount done. It's something about being able to attack the task with a vengeance and not really touch anything. ;)
Even better, pull out the gardening apron. This is my darling friend, Tammy, who loves to work in the dirt as much as I do. She keeps all of her tools handy in the pockets.
Lots of dishes to do, or cleaning? Oh yes..... with such cute options in rubber gloves these days, why not?? There is no doubt that cleaning toilets isn't half as bad with these pink babies on.
Oh and don't forget the MUSIC!!!
It makes everything more fun!!
I know this is the simplest concept, but it really does make a difference: Choose the right tool for the right task, and watch the magic happen :)
