Publisher's summary

With the help of New York Times best-selling author and housekeeping guru Marla Cilley, you'll cure your household CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome) by changing your messy home into a soothing sanctuary.

Are you suffering from CHAOS, otherwise known as Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome? If your house is a jumble of dirty dishes, piles of paper, and never-ending laundry, you are probably afflicted. But don't give up hope, because now there's an antidote: The CHAOS Cure.

In her eagerly anticipated new book, Marla Cilley - aka "The FlyLady" to the hundreds of thousands who visit her website for daily domestic inspiration - reaches into our homes to help make housecleaning more meaningful and life less messy. With a little bit of armchair therapy and plenty of practical, tactical tips - such as "On the Fly!" quick fixes and genius uses for sticky notes - she'll help us get our houses in shipshape order before we can break a sweat. Along the way, the FlyLady teaches us to embrace household maintenance as an act of self-care, and to enjoy the soothing satisfaction of an orderly habitat.

Before you know it, you'll be on the fast-track to living CHAOS-free, surrounded by sparkling serenity.

If you feel LOST, this book is for you...

I have followed FlyLady for about 20 years and boy has she blessed me. As a mom with lots of kids and a very busy lifestyle, I’ve always defaulted back to the principals she teaches when I found myself spinning out of control. The principals she teaches are for everyone at every stage of life. I had 6 under 7 in the early days, and now have 4 in college and 3 in high school. Record keeping and paper clutter are an ongoing challenge and I’ve been able to manage it all very well by following her recommendations. Don’t hesitate to bless yourself with this book, it will help you improve so many areas of your life.

FlyLady does it again!

Another great book by Marla. Easy to get through, great ideas, encouragement through a no excuses platform. I love the “mom tone” she uses to put my butt in gear! She always helps me when I fall off the cleaning wagon. This is the first audio version of hers that I have owned. She does a great job reading it and is very easy to listen to. She sounds just like her Facebook videos and podcasts- like she is in the room with you! Thanks again FlyLady for another motivational book to start the year off right.

Mostly usual flylady info

It was a lot of the same info, but the routine info didn't seem to be there. I think if I didn't already know about that part, it wouldn't have come through in this book.

Finally, someone who actually understands what it takes to help those of us drowning in clutter.

I heard myself shout...

"Thank you, Flylady!" As I picked up and removed 4 pairs of jeans that I now call "fantasy jeans" and put them in the giveaway pile. Fly lady gave me permission to let go of my fantasy and acknowledge that when I am a different size, it will make sense for me to have clothing that is a different size. In the meantime, it makes more sense to have the space on my shelf instead of things I don't need on it. I have absolutely loved listening to this book! It is so real and so chock full of ideas and suggestions and recommendations and encouragement. Get this book.
