The thing about flylady is to take very small steps - it is too easy to get overwhelmed by trying to do everything.
Also - the journal is actually really useful but not in the way you are thinking. Ours is considered the book of all world knowledge in our house. This is where you store the information that you often need quickly but don't necessarily have easy access to. Phone numbers of local takeaway places, emergency numbers, details of medications, blood types, emergency fire plans, favourite recipes - all sorts can be kept there. I don't use it to keep track of what I've achieved housework wise, just as a record keeping folder. It's usually a long term project to set up btw.
The most powerful tool flylady gives you is the knowledge that you don't have to keep going until you finish a job - just 15 mins makes one hell of a difference
