The Rules

Ok, ladies. Glad you're all excited to make new habits. I know I am. They say it takes 21 days to form a habit so I figured the last three weeks in February (7-28) would be perfect. I've assigned points to different items. Each day we have to post how many daily points we earned and what our cumulative total is. If you don't post THAT day, you don't get the points for THAT day. Fair enough? Also, no points on Sundays (should we do it on Saturdays?) We each put in $15 (if that amount sounds okay) and whoever has the most points at the end of the day on the 31st wins the prize ($75). And if you cheat, you're only cheating yourself. Honor system, please. Here's what I've come up with. Let me know what you think.

*Get Dressed to Shoes including Hair/Face, Brush Teeth (5 points)

*Make Bed (5 points)

*Swish & Swipe (5 points)

*Empty Dishwasher (5 points)

*Reboot Laundry (one load) (5 points)

*What's For Dinner? (10) (you get the points if you make dinner)

*Declutter for 15 Minutes (15)

*15 Minutes of Loving Movement (exercise) (15)

*Scripture Study (15 points)

*If you complete Flylady's mission of the day (15 points)

*Five Minute Room Rescue (5)

*Spend 2 minutes clearing off a hot spot (5 points)

*Shine your sink (5 points)

*Before Bed Routine (whatever yours is-brush teeth, wash face) (5 points)

*If you ever help clean the church, you can get 300 bonus points, ladies!

*Weekly you can get 25 points if you do Flylady's Weekly Home Blessing hour which includes:
  • Vacuum
  • Dust
  • Mop
  • Polish Mirrors and Doors
  • Purge magazines
  • Change Sheets
  • Empty all trash

When you do your Weekly Home Blessing, set a timer and spend only 10 minutes per item on the list. When the timer goes off, stop and to the next item. Anything is better than nothing!

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, post them and I can answer them (or we can decide together). Have I left anything out? How should we collect the money (at the end?). I can't wait to get started!!

*For the record, most of this content was taken directly from FlyLady's website @ Flylady.net. Check it out for further clarification.

  2. Got to get the money up front for motivation, otherwise we might get people crappin' out on us. I think we should send it to Christy. She is always good at getting things sent out. Super excited to whoop some hiney.

    ps. i just like to trash talk.

  3. FYI. To clarify, "loving movement" is JUST exercise. If you think it's something more, go right ahead and feel free to give yourself double points if you do that thing!

  5. No points for extra loads of laundry. Just one a day. Sorry. And the 7th is a Sunday. We will "officially" start counting points Monday.
