Set a limit on surprise visits

Decide what notice you need before someone comes over, including familiar visitors.

Try this

  1. Choose the minimum notice you need and the channel you actually check for visit requests.
  2. Explain whether the visitor should wait for an explicit yes before traveling. Keep the rule clear for familiar people as well as occasional guests.

A worked example

“Please check with me before coming by, even if you are nearby.”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

Make clear that an unanswered message is not permission to arrive.

This is a voluntary planning exercise. Keep your notes private, adapt the language, and leave any question unanswered. It does not require Ourling or a purchase.
