yes, as a newbie here, thanks.. I take the BEST it offers, and let go of the rest as not critical to my need for learning anti-hoarder education.
I say DO NOT make your bed the first 15-20 min. you are out of it !! WAIT
Why? the human body puts out a PINT of moisture thru the night, by allowing that to dissipate/evaporate you have LESS smelly sheets for LONGER and a fresher bed to get into at night.
I have habituated to tossing back all the bedding as far to the bottom as I can to air it out while I shower, brush teeth, etc, when I come back for my clothes THEN I make it.
just saying' ! I can go a week between laundering bedding.
(historical fact: Jackie O was kinda spoiled.. in the WH she demanded her sheets be changed for her daily nap, and again afterward for the night.. but she was FLOTUS..so OK. the maids did it.

another PS: I find that as I become a crone I AM shocked at how much swearing is on youtube..in places like makeup tutorials!!!
and I wonder WHY young women have to come across so darn tough and crass ..nothing to do with "girl power" ....this is just lowest level of communicating but other 20something like it.
Maybe it is their revenge for buying into the need for a "brazilian" in our culture. (women like Amy Schumer have finally taken it past any sense of 'funny' or trendy...everyone is now revolted)

Yep, Flylady's too precious and the other one's too profane. I found the happy medium with You Are Not Your Brain, and also another book, How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind by Dana K. White, who is one of us.
When you get to maintenance, and you will get there, Don Aslett's books tell you how to zip right through cleaning.

Hi closet of chaos, my son, the autism sufferer, gets quite upset when I swear in English. I have to be careful to swear in Spanish.
I'm not going to identify it, since the proprietor isn't here to defend himself, but there's at least one site 10 times more profane than UFYH. 😳

Autistic people don't like certain things which aren't proper and I respect that:) I'm rather fascinated with autistic people. I worked with high-functioning autistic children for awhile and I found it very rewarding ♡
