Sandra provides practical solutions on how messy people can bring order to their home. She is a recovered Messie who started a Messies Anonymous Group using her own practical techniques. The Mount Vernon method declutters around the peripheral of a room, progressing throughout the house. Her “Flipper technique” is a rotating system of weekly cleaning chores. She also gives excellent insight into why a person becomes a “Messie”. She is gentle, motivational and encouraging.
Although, I am impressed with this book, I discovered while reading it, a web site called Flylady.net which offers daily routines and support for women of the home. As the “FlyLady said, it is difficult to do two systems at the same time, so I chose to adopt the FLYing method and see where that takes me. I continue to recommend Sandra’s book for the excellent advice she gives to those needing help with keeping their home.
