I’m with you. Everyone comes over to my house for holidays and usually I don’t clean up until maybe a couple days before. It gets a bit frantic but its rewarding when everyone shows up.

So this weekend, my landlord stopped by to show a contractor outdoor work that needed done. I didn’t know he was coming or if he’d stop in to update me. I seriously accomplished more cleaning in a half hour worrying if he was coming in, than I would have gotten done all weekend. The stairs to my garage have had clutter I can’t stand & use as a barrier to leaving/bringing everything inside. It took me under 1 minute to just move that stuff farther into the garage. I know there’s a meme about this, but thinking someone will be to your house in twenty minutes really worked for me!
