I'm confused as to why FlyLady needs to be sending me emails at all. Are they like "Go wash the dishes now!"-- because those I don't want -- or are they more like "Dear FlyLady, can you help me get cat vomit out of my favorite linen pillow cases?" --because those I don't want either.
Huh. Maybe I don't want FlyLady. But then my house will always be a pigsty and I will never know the pleasure of her inspirational ways.
I think you get a, "Focus on this today, in the grand, manageable scheme that we've got going on here..." It's not pushy at all from what I've seen. Like I said, I haven't started yet. But, I mean, I value the option of not having to think about it too much and just checking an e-mail to see what the plan is. Or ignoring it, as I choose.
So! I cleaned up the sink and wiped counters down while I waited for my coffee to heat up this morning. And then left it in the microwave, but whatever. I cleaned for two minutes, and it did some good. Excellent tip.
I'm one of 4 possibles for a freelance editing/copyeditor position to be decided today or tomorrow. I just got major flop sweat, and icy hands answering an email pertaining to it.
-ma, please. (How am I to go calmly back to the resume I'm working on?! I guess by switching back to the window. Deep breath.)
HOLY SHIT, I GOT IT!
I'm a copy editor for Carina Press!
I AM SO JAZZED!
Erin, that's great! Congratulations!
(Oh, huh. I owe you an email, I think.)
Woohoo, Erin! Congratulations!

There's one each day with the daily plan -- a reminder of what zone we're in (this week is dining room and entry way), what today's focus is (Thursday is errands, but it says you can rearrange that however it works best for you), and today's mission (today, it's to clean up all the jackets and shoes and stuff that collect by the door, and put them where they belong.) There's also the daily routine, which is the same every day, so it seems kind of pointless to email all the time. And then there are "testimonials," which I find annoying -- people who write in to tell FlyLady about how their life is so much better now -- and inspirational thoughts for the day and stuff like that. I've been getting it as a digest, so I just get one email a day with all of this stuff, and I read the daily plan and mission stuff and ignore most of the rest.
