FLYLADY פליליידי

I am familiar with the FLYLADY for about 3 years now. She has a great method for getting people to organize themselves, and I have followed them and feel great about it (most of the time). You can see her website at flylady.com.

Ynet - La'Isha, is starting to translate some of her "articles." But I must say...whoever is doing the translating doesn't really understand her.

For example, one of the previous articles said something about "better to do one perfect job, than 10 imperfect ones.". But this is so against her ideas. Actually, one of her mantras is Housework done incorrectly still blesses your family. In other words, it is better to swipe the sink and get most of the grunge off, then deciding that it needs a good 30-minute workout, and figuring that you don't have the time now, and letting it go for another day (or week, or month.)

Today's article talked about the 27-fling boogie. And said that the flylady recommends doing it three times a YEAR!!! Actually, throwing out only 81 things in an entire year is a bit paltry, if you ask me. No, you are actually supposed to do this 3 times a WEEK. Listen, I get the flylady mailings...I know that I see this job more than once every 4 months!!

And one final picky....the Hebrew version of "you can't organize clutter, you can only get rid of it." Ok, this is a toughie, but how do your translate "clutter." Clutter is stuff that 1) you don't use, AND 2) you don't need AND 3) you don't love. In other words, all the stuff that is just sitting around "in case." However, this is not "balagan." "Balagan," to my mind, is all the stuff that you perhaps do need, do love, and probably use alot, that is sitting around waiting to be put away. Maybe it is sitting out because there is too much CLUTTER taking valuable space away from the "real stuff."

Oh...here's a place to see some good translations into Hebrew:
