I think I finally got a genuine glimpse of what Flylady means when she urges us to make something — like decluttering — a habit “no matter what.” I got this glimpse while exercising this morning. If I can’t go to Jazzercise for some reason, I exercise “no matter what.” On days when there is no Jazzercise, I exercise “no matter what.” I don’t excuse myself from exercise because it is inconvenient or it takes more effort than usual. I just do it — “no matter what.” And exercising doesn’t take a mere 15 minutes like most of my Flylady missions and habits.
So, I’m seeing how I need to develop that “no matter what” muscle behind some of the chores (like decluttering!) from which I very easily excuse myself when it is inconvenient or takes some effort.

Very true! It’s easy for disorder and dust to take over if one doesn’t do those small chores every day.
