  • Welcome back to our weekly Plan with Me chat! Get ready to simplify, plan and thrive in 2024! My principles are minimalist living, the cozy hygge lifestyle, and taking time for daily self-care. If you're seeking a healthier and more intentional lifestyle for 2024, you've come to the right place! Each Friday I answer your questions and give you reminders and pointers for Flylady housekeeping and homemaking. There’s also some book talk, plus four easy self-care ideas to choose from. And some random snippets from my hygge life here in Copenhagen, Denmark - let’s chat! Don’t forget our pact… I am here for you three times each week and you comment on every video. Which self-care missions will you choose for this week - 1, 2, 3 or 4?

    When you watch - remember our pact: leave a comment! Let me know which self-care option(s) you like best! I have chosen 2 and 4! 👋🏻😍 Gratitude: good friends who lift me up, that our children are so well settled in their apartments. The recipe I'm going to make is one I saved from the Swedish magazine ""Mitt Köck" for "Tomatpaj med Bacon". It is going on my menu plan for this week! Plus I've decluttered a few other recipes I had saved which I know I will never make! Go me! Go you!

    Diane,I would like to thank you for giving me the motivation to get my house back in order. I am a 57 year old lady living in Newcastle,England and have recently lost both my parents.
    I have a husband and two sons one with special needs and as a woman who was so house proud I had lost my way.
    I have started the fly lady system this week and have been so productive and am starting to feel in control of my routines again. You have also inspired my fashion sense.
    Zone 1 is now complete for week 1.
    Thank you.

      I just want to say...I read your comment and it could have been me that wrote it...I hate u r going through this but think u for sharing. I too have lost my way. I used to have such a warm, welcoming home and friends over quite a bit. I found my older brother deceased in 2009 from a heart attack, lost my mother in law in 2018, my mother in 2021 and my father in law in 2023. I starting feeling lost in 2010 and haven't had my home where friends can come over since. I will be praying for u this year and ask that u prayer for me...if u believe in prayers...if not warm wishes will work. Tk u for posting!

    Gratitude. I am so thankful for CZcams! Diane, your videos have helped me turn my life around. I never thought I could be a routines person, but I’m thriving through your videos! I’ve also learned to cut my boys & husband’s hair with CZcams, practice my second language, improved my cooking and so much more. So grateful for this platform.

    #2: I’m thankful for a warm, cozy home. I know, I know…not a small item, but it turned bitterly cold today in the midwest, USA and I’m very, very glad to be inside with a working heater. I’m also thankful for an internet order that was wrong when it came. I reached out to the business and received a quick email back from the owner. Not only is she sending what I originally ordered, but she told me to keep the order received in error. Made my day! #3: I don’t have much room by my sink, but I refreshed the cloth I keep under my dish soap, scrub and little succulent. Switched out from Christmas to January cloth. It is on top of a round trivet-type holder. I also changed out the vase that I keep a plant in. The plant is one I was propagating and I’ve had it there for a year or two! I decided to just keep it in water instead of planting it as it has been doing so good. ❤ Those are my two things! Hoping you have a wonderful weekend and I’ll check in next week!

    I am currently reading “Outer Order Inner Calm” by Gretchen Rubin to help me overcome hoarding tendencies. I’m about halfway through it and feel that it is helping me. I grew up poor and was even put in an orphanage for a time, so letting go of possessions feels like a threat to my security. But feelings are not facts and I keep working on it. Thank you for your ongoing encouragement.

    I’ve gotten really good at doing my daily tasks each day but I never get to the zone cleaning...until this week. Watched your kitchen clean and then was motivated to tackle the kitchen for at least a few minutes. Ended up checking everything off my kitchen zone list except cleaning the inside of the fridge. Which I’m doing today after this video! Woohoo! 💕

    Hi Diane. Thank you for asking me to comment and engage. I really appreciate it. I have mostly been a watcher for inspiration, but will now move into doing it with you. This is the kind and gentle nudge that I needed. Today, I cleaned a drawer as I listened to you. For self care, I will do them all. I’ll look up a hot, healthy mocktail to enjoy over the cold, Colorado weekend. I’ll try a Julia Childs recipe this weekend, also. I am always up for a gratitude list! So thankful for you! ❤

    I am going to try my grandma's sour cream cookie recipe. I found it when decluttering my late mother's things and keep shuffling it around and putting it off. I know I'll love it since when my cousin and I were in our early teens (I'm 75 now)my grandma made a batch and told us to help ourselves while she went shopping and my cousin and I ate ALL of them. Grandma wasn't happy, lol. I also was wondering about the comments and yes it makes me face up to commenting and holding up my side of the pact. You are so smart! Thank you. 🥰

    A few years ago, when i was a housewife, you helped me clean, declutter and have a home i could be pleased with. I had to begin a job at 59 years old ... after 4 years (two with a retired husband) the house is uncomfortable...not clutter just not as clean as I'd like. Time to get back to a routine. I don't know how you young gals juggle a job and home.

    I am going to spruce up my sink area by putting out new cleaning cloths and sending my old ones to my rag bin.
    Thank you Dianne for your inspiration and encouragement.

    I am grateful for our current good health, we had a heck of a December with the flu. And I'm so grateful for our school community that dropped off meals for us. It was so much more than dinner, not having to cook or clean up afterwards allowed us to rest and recover!

    Self care #4 is my choice for this weekend as my daughter will be visiting so a great time to try something new.
    I am taking care of my mom’s house for her since she moved into a home. Listened to this one as I cleaned her living room blinds.
    I have a project jar for her house, I pick at least one a day and spend 15-30 minutes on it, slowly getting rid of clutter .

    Diane, thank you for sharing your home with all of us! 1. I am very grateful for an old friend who passed away this week. The funeral was Friday 250 miles away. I was grateful my husband made arrangements so we could go on Friday and see friends we love. 2, I was grateful for our safety on the high traffic trip back today.
    3. I have been scrubbing my sink area everyday. But I haven't changed the knick knacks in a long time. I'm so happy to change things up around the sink. 4. I have a recipe for turkey and rice my husband used to make. I'll put in in the front of the recipe notebook so he can make it again. I've come up with some great ideas for Zone 3 next week. Can't wait for the swap parties! Thank you Diane!

    My self care is watching your new videos. For 10-15 minutes I sit with a cup of tea around 7pm on the day of their release, watching you and planning my own cleaning and simplifying tasks. Morning and evening routines are automatic now and for 15 minutes each day - sometimes 2-3 times a day - I’ll do another task be it clean or declutter. You Diane are always on my I pad giving encouragement during these times, often doing something different to me but it helps to keep me going. Thank you Diane, looking forward to Monday.

    I chose number three. I pulled out two little jeweled heart designs given to me by my husband on our 40th and 45th anniversaries. I will enjoy looking at them when doing dishes instead of having them put away in the china cabinet. Tomorrow is our 46th wedding anniversary.

    I've recently re-started my Flylady/SHE system and what a time I chose to jump back in! I had used and liked both systems years ago, and sort of developed my own hybrid plan. But I, too, hag fallen off the wagon and really, really, had to start over. Then I went to the doctor. That was In October and have been to at least one medical test a week since then. Some weeks it has been three and four. All that on top of the holidays, birthdays, and guests from out of town, and a bout of the flu!
    But I am doing what I can. Some days I see progress, some not so much. Today I tried a new kind of hot herbal tea, hung a picture of a beautiful waterfall on my wall, and started my gratitude diary, not just a list. And today I am thankful for my husband, who is awesome, and also that tomorrow I am taking the day off, just for my husband and me.💜

    I started watching you a year ago and followed your missions. My home is now better organised. It's still a work in progress but now I'm at the stage where there is less & less clutter in the house. Yesterday I decluttered the paper & magazines that were piling up in my in-tray on my desk. Also decluttered the recipe folder of aspirational recipes that I know I will never cook! Now to decide what new recipe I will try over the weekend.
    Thanks for your cheerful videos. They put a smile on my face each time I watch them.

    Dear Diane, each day I am grateful for having a home, food, heating and family warmth. It has not always been the case for me when I was young so now that I have the privilege to enjoy these basic needs, I am grateful for them every day 🙏 Thank you Diane for who you are and the share of your qualities and experience 😍 Today, we go to the restaurant with my godmother and uncle (81 and 83 years old). They are so kind, we want to spend as much time as possible with them. I will then try a new dish from the menu 😊 Wishing you a wonderful Sunday Diane 😘

    My family teases me because I keep everything. I have emotional attachments to all my things. This makes it SO hard to declutter even if I don't really like it or use it. I worry that whoever gave it to me will notice that I don't have it out or wear it. With your help I am purging even if a little each day. That is why it is called Baby Steps!!! Thanks for everyone's positive encouragement. I hear you.

    I'm greatful for my family. So very greatful for being inspired by the word of God. I am greatful for encouraging words from you and lots of others. Who daily bring a smile to my face and motivation to keep moving forward.

Get rid of things we aren’t using. Thanks for your help Diane. It’s bitter cold here (for us in Vancouver) so can give coats away to those in need.

    Teacher here. Four snow days without school, working from home. Did fridge stage 1 and hope to get it wiped down this afternoon. Floors swept. Bugs out of light shields in the restroom. I can’t seem to get the other one off. Lesson planning completed. Finishing a crochet project. Thankful for this time and a warm shelter!
