*I moved my 100 things to a page so you don’t have to read them or see them unless you want to.

I currently have my basement door covered in papers that have the 5 s’s on them, and I’m working out how to best implement them in my life. The reason I’m doing this is that even though I’ve found that FlyLady and other systems work well, they aren’t an end all for everyone, and I’m trying to find a system (or make one) that works well for ME, not a generic system that could be fitted into anyone’s lifestyle, even though, in reality, a system like that is still modified greatly every time a single person starts to use it.

Anyway, since I was introduced to the 5S principles (see earlier post), I have been trying to put all of the main principles from FlyLady into one of the categories. It’s pretty easy to see how everything works together, and even though she may not even be aware that her system works like this, it does, in fact.

At some point in the near future, I hope to post my thoughts on exactly how FlyLady can become the 5S principles, and show you an example of how practically any “system” of cleaning can fit into this mentality. It’s a great way to organize your thoughts, because cleaning this way is such a simple process, it doesn’t really need to be all that complicated. Of course, you get into more complex systems once you are organized, but the whole point is that it should take less time to clean an area (daily) than it does to actually USE that space.
