Does anyone else get paralyzed on fixing small things because they're terrified of it becoming a larger thing? And how do you overcome it? (startrek.website)

I guess "hire someone" is always an option, but it's a difficult task sometimes, especially finding someone reliable. It's not even that the larger thing is outside my ability, it's just "ugh, I don't have time for this".

Curious if anyone has any tips and tricks to overcome this kind of paralysis.

If you don't fix it, it's still broken. So might as well make it a hobby. Buy nice tools and learn cool techniques. That way when something breaks you'll see it as a time investment in a thing that takes your mind out of work and "real" problems.
