I have several friends that use it and love it. I was given a copy once and for me it was only ok. Like any tool you need to USE it.

I used it for several years. I really like it, actually. It reminded me to do chores that I would otherwise forget to do. Like switching out the air filter every month. Cleaning the top of the refrigerator, etc. And I liked how one task was "clean the middle shelf of the fridge" instead of "clean the whole inside of the fridge". So much more doable, and my fridge was always clean!

I didn't check off the daily tasks as much, b/c I did those w/o thinking anyway.

I really like it when I use it!

I've gone through times using it faithfully, and it really was helpful.

I bought it one year, used it for a week or so and then created my own version with some Fly Lady additions that better reflected the flow of my days. I still use a basic version as a catalyst, but I usually do not stay with any type of schedule when I'm not pregnant.

If you need a starting point, it's not very costly and can get you into a good rhythm if you use it regularly.

This was how I felt. I had lost my own plan in a computer transfer, and I have a tendency to plan rather than do. So, I though, "hey, its more than I do without a plan."

It helps me have a starting point when I just get completely frustrated with myself and want to change my habits "yesterday." I like the accountability. Rather, I need it.

That's not to say that a custom plan couldn't work better, but if you don't have anything right now, your house will be better using this than not.

Yes, it works well for me. After mid-year it's half price.
I just checked and it's $4 now, well worth the price.
