Information about how to use this site for fast help in troubled times appears here & on the Home Page.
Do It Yourself!
If you want to go straight to the DIY tools, scroll down to the No-strings Downloads below.
Otherwise, keep reading about the 4 more options you have for seeking free ideas and resources from the Inspector Ross site, that were mentioned on the Home page, as well as a new way to get all my books.
Search
Firstly, you can search the site using search bars in the banners of most pages. They're a bit hidden in the leaves, but hover somewhere over those until the search bar highlights. You'll get the hang of possible word combinations after a while. Try 'feel happier', then 'feel', and 'happy'. Different, huh?
Blog
Next, the blog suggests fantastic, free ways to keep you occupied and progressing while stuck at home. Since it was written against a calendar year, you can search it to find a starting place and then continue in sequence over the next however-many months until this current crisis passes. However, some of those posts might not be appropriate under new restrictions or if you've been impacted more severely. For example, if you're self-isolating or suddenly out of work, I don't imagine you'll instantly appreciate Reminder 12, Family Regroup or Reminder 19, Workday Routine.
Social distancing and workplace changes could profoundly affect how useful these posts seem to you. Yet, by adapting such posts to the way things are at any given time, they could be just what you need to stay motivated and upbeat. I could help you with tips for your own situation, or bring the posts together in a more usable way for you and for these times. Use the Help button located at the top of any Blog page to enquire.
Downloads
Then there is the Special Free Download (see bottom of this and the Home page) that provides an overview of how to use decluttering to help solve problems. Future special downloads will become available soon.
You can also help yourself to free resources from this DIY page, mindful of the fact that these, too, will need adjustment for now. I can help with that, unless you prefer to Do It Yourself ;-)
Email Course
Now is the perfect time to do this completely free email course. Even if you've been decluttering a while, the lessons will give your work structure. If you're new to the subject, you'll learn the 2 basic Inspector Ross methods of organising your stuff, and how to declutter 'non-stuff'! Lessons are really easy & delivered straight to your inbox. All you need is access to email, and some clutter!
Note: There's a 3rd method I can't call my own, which is great to kick things off when your home has gotten into a bad state, whether mildly or more so. We'll cover that one, too.
Book Club Membership
A new Book Club Membership lets you access and download the key Inspector Ross material for your personal, DIY use. It replaces my bookstore to make the whole process simpler. Just one payment and login gives you access to The Everies Book, the Planner and the Finish Your Pet Project! self-paced program, along with associated templates & publications. For half the cost of an introductory Everies coaching session, you can have all the Everies and Finish Your Pet Project publications including the year-long, DIY program to help you isolate the optimum project to work on this year. You can download multiple formats of each item as available, and obtain routine product support. The price is not recurring, and will be reviewed each financial year so you can opt in or out newly each year.
In Summary
The above 5 options are just some ideas. I don't want to make assumptions. Please let me know what kind of help you'd like with anything anywhere on the site. That applies to all visitors, customers & clients. You don't have to buy something now to click the Help button :-)
Oh, and there's a 6th option -- the free, no-scroll newsletter! If you've read this far, you deserve to sample an obligation-free issue in the new (2021) series! If you like it, you can sign up to receive regular issues -- look for the invitation banner that appears once each time you visit the site.

If you see something on here and then it's disappeared when you come back to try it, you can Contact me to find out whether you can still get it. (I want to keep the page pretty simple.)

Double-click on the download (after saving & scanning if you like, but all uploads are automatically scanned at my end) and if it opens in Normal view (the clunky one), select From Beginning in the Slide Show tab on the menu bar -- it should then play itself nicely.
