Dear FlyLady,
I can't tell you what a difference flying has made in my life! I used to move stuff around until midnight one day a week to get ready for a cleaning lady. Now my house is almost always company ready (still have to finish the office!)
I'm having trouble moving ahead with decluttering and missions though. I know Flybabies sometimes don't like change, but I'm having a problem with the flight plan. It's just too much information at once, and some of the messages get lost. I really miss the emails with one idea in them.
I've been thinking about your interest in the book Made to Stick. I actually have read that book and love it too. I think we got an email that said don't tell your kids to do five things just ask for one and it will stick.
I think that is the problem I'm having with the flight plan. I used to delete emails as I did them, and I felt like a had a personal trainer telling me to do the missions.
Now it feels more like my "to do" list, but its on the computer so I can't check it off unless I print it out.
If you could go back to sending the missions separately it would really make a big difference to me and maybe others also.
Thank you for everything. I'll never give up flying!!
