One Thing I Learned About Fixing Things Immediately: They Spoil
You need to stop procrastinating
My toilet seat broke over a year ago. I managed it until a month ago when a plumber came to fix something else in the house. It was such a relief to me the convenience of not always fighting with the seat every time I had to sit on it.
My water pressure was slow. I will grunt and be frustrated every time. Water dripping somewhere, I will sigh as I mopped it repeatedly.
I found out my standing fan was shocking anyone who touched it. It never crossed my mind to fix it until a friend said, “Why not call an electrician?”
I grew up with my brothers or my dad or a male figure, fixing stuff or having stuff taken to go get fixed.
If you had asked me why my stuff was spoilt, I will give you the whole story of how it broke down. It never crossed my mind that the story should be — oh, I need to get so or so to fix that quickly.
Don’t be like me who will rather live frustrated than get stuff fixed immediately. These little things negatively impact your moods and you don’t even know it.
Look around. Fix your space. There is power in early intervention.
