In the world today,a huge number of techniques, different manuals, lifhak on a lot of topics. About how to clean the computer, clean the living room, chop wood and do a qualitative yet millions of different cases, you can read on the Internet.
Councils on various issues may becomea real storehouse of information, as they are left by specialists in various spheres of human activity. Having made just one query to a search engine, you get thousands of articles with the experience of many people who have already encountered your problem.
At one time a fairly popular movementbecame a different kind of "clubs", united on the basis of the common interests of their participants. For example, a place for "meeting" fans of rock could be a blog of some critic, and lovers of archeology happily went to the portal, which filled some famous expert in this field.
You ask:What is common 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 for the unification of thousands of women around the world.
All of them, as well as musicians or historians, hadcommon interests. With their help, the formation of such a powerful and at the same time such a useful organization has happened. We will talk about it in today's article.
So, we know about many success stories that hadplace 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 about a simple American MarlaShe created a blog in 1999. In it, she described all the women's tricks on a variety of topics: from cleaning up the house and ending 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.
Marla called her blog "Reactive mistresses" (FlyLady). 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.
A blog in which a woman left her notes,has reached an incredible popularity, because of what she decided to expand his profile and organize on its basis a real community. In it, every girl who has a question of interest to her, could ask him and begin a discussion with 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!
Blog Marla has become a valuable source of knowledge onsuch 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.
After the success of the American versionproject 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 about organizing their own time, more efficient work around the house and the like.
As the American blog grew into the presentmovement (having its own features, 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.
So, what does the systemFlyLady ("Reactive mistresses")? 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 hercases that need to 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 some or other tasks).
The main principle by which allwork at home, is a breakdown of all necessary zones into small intervals (this concerns time). For example, if you need to clean the bathroom, you do not force yourself to work there for the next 2 hours, but simply allocate 10-15 minutes regularly. During these short periods of time, 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.
In general, if we analyze some of theprinciples, guided by the system "Reactive mistresses", cleaning begins to look not like some "monolithic monster" that takes our precious time. No, the methodology tries to present us such a sphere as caring for the house, in a more positive light, to simplify it as much as possible and, possibly, even to turn it into something pleasant. After all, performing the simplest actions, we receive from cleaning a colossal effect - a clean and shiny house, happy household members 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.
For example, the technique calls for constant cleaningfor themselves. This is an important principle, which allows you to significantly reduce the amount of work during harvesting. Prepared dinner? 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 make one task quickly and relatively easily, rather than accumulate them, to 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.
Another interesting principle that offersTo us FlyLady (system of the organization of domestic work), is a full focus and refusal of distracting factors. 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, youwant 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.
After reading the reviews and recommendations of people whouse the system described in the article, you can hardly find information about the bad system FlyLady. 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 thus the system can become an excellent adviser not only in economic management, but also in terms of personal health.
For example, one of the most important principles ishealthy sleep. 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.
There are many other spheres thatare disclosed 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 the participants of this system are taking.
This and this knowledge is useful:they are accumulated by various people who are interested in certain aspects of a particular topic. It's hard to believe, but you can even find reviews of buyers of different products for women and their recommendations on the site of the system (FlyLady.ru), whether to buy them or not! Imagine how great the system can help in organizing your life.
And most importantly - participation is completely free!
It should be noted that in the world not onlythe described technique, dedicated to cleaning, caring for yourself and other topics that are 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 needed to be kept 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 teaching materials she explains the details.
In fact, it is impossible to say which course is better -"Anonymous lazy people" 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.
There are questions in which both methods givequite sensible 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 get prettier.
Another important point is assistance in organizinghousework. 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 more simple 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.
In fact, in the system "Reactive mistresses"collected those facts that are not something secret or unique. Many girls guessed or knew that there are some tricks, using which, you can make your life easier and make cleaning more enjoyable.
The peculiarity of the community is that itsa unique model has allowed to unite around this knowledge, to create a certain "base" of information character, which would give the opportunity to receive necessary advice quickly and simply. After all, as is known, in addition to some general recommendations, there are also concrete life situations in which the landladies need advice. The system simply allows you to turn to "colleagues" and ask their advice to those who want it. Agree, this is very cool!
In addition, "Reactive mistresses" is not the onlymethod. There are many similar concepts that simplify the management of household chores. If you want to expand your knowledge, you can contact them and find out more interesting and useful. After all, in the end, there is no limit to perfection!
