That's right, today is the backwards edition of Works For Me Wednesday. Instead of leaving a tip, we are asked to ask for a tip.
Mine is very simple. I would like for as many people as possible to leave me a comment letting me know what kind of home management system they use. You can be as brief or as long as possible. You may just say FlyLady and leave it at that OR you might give me a tip that you found works for you that nobody has ever mentioned before. That would be awesome! We are all different and what you might think should work for everyone just doesn't. I don't have to deal with ironing shirts but I do have constant laundry..see what I mean?
So that is what I am interested in. You can check out other requests by clicking the banner above.
And don't forget about my book Giveaway (Amy Grant's new book)
I like Motivated Moms for home management.

We use the "hands full" home management system. Sure to have been mentioned on WFMW before -but it is that good to be mentioned again!
Whenever leaving or entering a room, consider and take items that need putting away or putting to on your way. Helps keep down the clutter and helps manage the home!

I keep cleaning products in each room that will need them. For example we have 2 bathroms, so I have a can of Comet and disinfectant wipes in both to eliminate running back and forth between bathrooms just to get cleaning supplies.
I swear by Rubbermaid containers! I try to grab them ONLY when they are on sale and use them for storage and orgainization. I use them to store holiday decorations and for clothes that are to be stored away for summer or winter (pack them with a new dryer sheet to keep smelling fresh) Also as my son grows out of clothes I put them in a container, along with stuff that I clean out of the house that I then have in one easy spot for next spring's yard sale.

I have adapted FlyLady to meet our needs. I also go to an AOL cleaning chatroom every day (mon-fri) where we challenge each other & clean together. Accountability helps me w/my housework just like it does w/my weight loss.

I have a rigid schedule (but I don't have kids, which would force me to be more flexible). I do laundry on Tuesdays, clean the whole house on Thursdays, do any run-over laundry and ironing on Wednesdays, see certain doctors and run errands on Mondays and Fridays...
