Shine the Sink!

The first step in starting the FlyLady program is to shine the sink. She says that every evening, before you go to bed, make sure your sink is shining!! That means all the dishes must be done and the sink must be clean.

Last night before going to bed I made sure the sink was shined. Corey helped and was really excited about this new program. We got all the dishes done and put away and left the sink shining. This morning, waking up to a clean sink and no dirty dishes, really started my day off on the right foot. Waking up to dirty dishes can make you feel like you can't get anything done, like your day is shot, it makes you a little depressed. But FlyLady's emphasis on keeping the sink shiny really works. The house just feels better. I don't feel like I have an unbearable load of work looming over me. I feel good!!

But, it's laundry day, so now I go to fold all the laundry. Another new goal in this process is to get the laundry folded the same day it's washed. Lately I've been putting it off, planning to do it the next day, but I'm still folding last week's laundry...so...today is the end of that vicious cycle!!
