Techniques in clubs

At one time, a very popular movement became various "clubs", united on the basis of the common interests of their participants. For example, a place for a "meeting" of rock fans could be a blog of some critic, and lovers of archeology happily visited the portal, which was filled by some well-known expert in this field.

You ask: what is the relationship between rock, archeology and lifhakas? We answer: there is a special women's club - a movement called "Reactive mistresses". This organization (if it can be called such a term), as well as a blog for rockers or archaeologists, has become a place of unification of thousands of women around the world.

All of them, like musicians or historians, had common interests. With their help, the emergence of such a powerful and at the same time such a useful organization. We will talk about it in today's article.

What is "Reactive mistresses"?

So, we know about many success stories that took place in the West. They look like this: a simple person does what he likes, and as a result, another new business model is created, some strong project, a start-up or something else - something that can not be surpassed even after years , Now you also thought about Google or Facebook, but it's not about them).

This story is dedicated to a simple American Marla Scilly, who in 1999 created a blog. In it, she described all the women's tricks on a variety of subjects: from cleaning up the house and finishing with the personal finances of the girls. With what surprise she discovered that over time her blog began to gain popularity, became in demand and interested in a huge number of women. Naturally, this became the motive for the American work on this project.

The success of FlyLady

Marla called her blog "Reactive mistresses" (Fly Lady). True, this is only one of the variants of translation, because this phrase can also be understood as "flying bees", "fluttering ladies" and so on. The bottom line is not this.

The blog, in which the woman left her record, reached incredible popularity, because of what she decided to expand his profile and organize on its base a real community. In it, every girl who has a question of interest to her, could ask him and start a discussion with the other participants. Thus, we get an active exchange of knowledge and experience, which leads only to the accumulation of both. And those that would be interesting to a woman, really a lot!

Marla's blog has become a valuable source of knowledge on such topics as "Home", "Family", "Finance", "Children", "Cooking" and the like. All that a woman can need in order to become a real hostess could be found in this project. Naturally, the founder of the movement was waiting for a huge success and recognition.

The Russian analogue

After the success of the American version of the project came to Russia, an analogue was created here. It was called "Reactive mistresses", and the format of the resource (in the form of a blog) remained the same. Today the project is available on the LiveJournal site and, if you go to it, you can make sure of its viability. Even a cursory examination confirms: here important topics are discussed for important girls regarding organizing their own time, more efficient work around the house and the like.

As the American blog turned into a real movement (having its own peculiarities, principles and rules), the Russian version also moved away from the concept of "just a site", announcing to its visitors these principles. It is noteworthy that for Russia the service was launched in 2003 (that is, even the domestic version of the community has an age of more than 13 years, which is also quite a lot). Such a venerable period of his life testifies that such an idea is successful and in demand in the society.

Basic principles and cleaning

So, what does the FlyLady system ("Reactive mistresses") mean? Initially, this is a tool for organizing your time and carrying out all necessary household work in the right way. There is a system of a number of steps, in which, the participant of the movement becomes on the way to more effective self-organization.

First of all, the advice of the reactive hostess includes the first point - the creation of an audit trail.

In it, the participant must record all her affairs that must be performed; Recorded areas of the house, which should be removed, an action plan is introduced on the days (on which day of the week the girl should be engaged in one or another task).

The main principle, according to which all work at home is organized, is the breakdown of all necessary zones into small intervals (this concerns time). For example, if you need to clean in a bathroom, you do not force yourself to work there for the next 2 hours, but simply allocate 10-15 minutes regularly. During these brief intervals, a person can achieve much greater results. At the same time, due to the fact that the timer is the main controller in this work, the hostess does not have a fear to start all these things, because she knows that her "torment" will soon end, and she will have to postpone the work.

Micro-Objectives

In general, if we analyze some of the principles that guided the system of "Reactive mistresses", cleaning begins to look not like some "monolithic monster" that takes our precious time. No, the methodology tries to present us with such a sphere as caring for the house, in a more positive light, to simplify it as much as possible, and perhaps even to turn it into something pleasant. After all, performing the simplest actions, we get from cleaning a colossal effect - a clean and shining house, happy households and a sense of accomplishment.

The main thing on which emphasis is placed in the leadership, which is distributed by the system of the reactive hostess, is the correct division, the "breakdown" of the entire task into smaller particles.

Cleaning of self

For example, the technique calls for an ongoing clean-up. This is an important principle, which allows you to significantly reduce the amount of work during harvesting. Prepared lunch? Take away all the dirty kitchen utensils before you start eating. This will reduce the amount of work after dinner, will give you the opportunity to complete the task faster. After all, it is obvious that it is easier to wash two plates than the same two plates and a couple of pots.

This principle underlies the system: we can, sharing tasks, perform them more efficiently and with less resistance from within. The main thing is to properly adjust yourself. It is better to do one task quickly and relatively easily than accumulate them, suffer from the very fact of the existence of the task, from the need to proceed to it and postpone everything at the last moment.

Focusing

Another interesting principle, which offers us FlyLady (the system of organizing homework), is full focus and rejection of distractions. The author of the system notes that we are inclined to distract from work before the fulfillment of the task set for us.

For example, knowing that you have to wash the floor, you want to look "for 5 minutes" in the social network. It is not difficult to guess that these 5 minutes will turn into a full 1.5 hours, if you do not stop on time. Adjust yourself so that you do not shift attention to foreign objects. And believe me, this will give immediate effect: the work will be performed many times faster.

Correct sleep

After reading the testimonials and recommendations of people who use the system described in the article, you will hardly find information about how bad the FlyLady system is. The reason is simple: there are no radical ways to change your life, as you do not offer and refuse anything. You just get recommendations that really make these or those everyday tasks of girls easier. And at the same time the system can become an excellent adviser not only in matters of housekeeping, but also in terms of personal health.

For example, one of the most important principles is a healthy dream. If you want to properly organize your work day, do not try to "catch up" the time due to late falling asleep. Better, on the contrary, get enough sleep, then proceed to your worries. So you, believe me, will win much more.

Other tips

There are a lot of other spheres that are revealed in the system "Reactive mistresses". Family budget, children's health, proper nutrition - all these and many other topics are repeatedly touched upon in the discussions that are being conducted by the participants of this system.

This and this knowledge is useful: they are accumulated by different people who are interested in certain aspects of a particular topic. It's hard to believe, but you can even find reviews on the website of the system (FlyLady.ru) of customers of different products for women and their recommendations, whether to buy them or not! Imagine how great the system can help in organizing your life.

And most importantly - participation is completely free!

Alternative

It should be noted that in the world there is not only the described method, dedicated to cleaning, caring for yourself and other topics important for girls. There is, for example, the so-called course "Anonymous lazy people." It was founded by Sandra Felton, who, from her own experience, was convinced that the house should be tried to keep in order, and that for this you do not have to suffer every time we force ourselves to do the cleaning. You can achieve cleanliness by simple steps, and in her training materials she explains the details.

In fact, it is impossible to say which course is better - "Anonymous lazy" or "Reactive mistresses". Best of all, if you really want to find answers to your questions, use the experience of both systems. So you significantly expand your horizons, change your view of cleaning and achieve this significant results.

Personal care

There are questions in which both methods give quite practical advice. For example, this is a matter of appearance. It is wrong to think that at home a woman can afford to look sloppy and ugly. Both systems recommend always keeping yourself in good shape, working on your appearance and never starting yourself. After all, in the end, how you will look, your family members notice: husband and children. And you yourself will treat yourself differently if you see a beautiful woman in the mirror. Even before starting the cleaning, both systems of the courses are advised to become prettier.

Attraction of assistants

Another important point is help in organizing work around the house. Do not do everything yourself! Involve households in performing tasks of various kinds, depending on the complexity. Following in the footsteps of FlyLady ("Fly Lady"), you can give an example: with her husband you can agree on keeping in order "his" territory (workshop, office, garage - the places where he is the main); And children should be instructed to perform simpler exercises if they do this in the form of a game.

Also, it is not forbidden to use different incentives for good work and the child's efforts, for example, to allow to go to the cinema or take a walk with friends.
