You can probably get to it from behind your firewall--I did.  I heard about it on a moms' list I'm on.  Flylady assumes that your house is so messy you can't have anyone over without at least a day's advance notice--definitely describes my house!  She sends you several emails a day, reminding you to do certain core tasks.  As these tasks become habits, and you don't have dirt on every surface, she has you add things like slowly decluttering your home 10 minutes at a time.  Some of her tips are more for working women (like me), some for stay-at-homes but I find that those can be adapted to my schedule without much trouble.  Her motto is "baby steps" and "you are not behind, just jump in."  It's kind of refreshing for me, because I tend to see the whole house as a post-tornado zone that won't be helped by my piddly efforts.  



Note: this is *not* commercial as far as I can see--it costs nothing, you give them no info but your email address (I use my web email rather than work email address).



After a week, I'm already in a couple of routines that are making the house more habitable.
