Oh my word, I love this note I received after my recent podcast about the Visibility Rule. My FAVORITE part is how she was just thinking how much better she was doing. That is EXACTLY what happens to me, over and over again!
Hi Nony,
I’ve written to you before. You actually read one of my emails about having a housekeeper on a podcast! (Hello 15 minutes of fame!)
Anyway, I always listen to your podcasts when I am cleaning up before my housekeeper arrives. This week I was listening to the one about visibility and I was thinking about how I have become so much better about this rule because of what needs to be done before she gets here each week: surfaces, floors, dining room table, etc.
Then suddenly I looked up and realized that she would be here in ten minutes and I had spent the last 15 minutes cleaning paint out of old yogurt containers. While my family room looked like this:
So I guess I haven’t improved quite as much as I thought.
Thought you would enjoy that!

today I too became very aware of this. I’ve been sick, a friend offered to bring me homemade soup. I thought I had the room presentable for her to enter (secretly hoping she would hand me the soup and decline coming in), but as soon as she & her husband got to the door, I saw the error of my ways! We had a nice visit & I was very happy to see them. I’m sure they had lots to talk about once they left. (There may have been a few boxes still sitting out from Christmas gifts.)

So I just found out our company tonight can’t make it. (For the record, its ok something important actually came up for them – I’m not mad or upset at all.) Then I looked around and realized all of my cleaning would just be for US tonight. What a a treat!!
Clean house without company?! Does that that ever happen?!

There is always the option to use the “reader tab” and just get the article content. It’s not hard to do.
