Nothing strikes fear into a messy heart like an impending doorbell.
We’ve been sharing FAQ posts where we gather together the things I’ve written, spoken and videoed to help answer questions we are asked regularly.

Answers to Questions about Preparing for Guests from my Live Q&A Videos:
I address the problem of having a busy schedule when preparing for guests in this Decluttering Q&A Live (at 37.46) – “I am needing to clean the guest room before we have company next month. I’m afraid that I don’t have enough time and often I have so much work to do, the times I plan to work on it, get delayed because I am doing other work for my businesses.”
In this Decluttering Q&A I share about feeling ashamed when you have family visiting your messy house (beginning at 33.22) – “I feel so ashamed when my parents come visiting because of all the clutter, but they don’t mind too much and understand I’m a full time working mum. I declutter but it takes a long time. How can I get over this?”
