I know this sounds contrary to living a less-stressful life, however, we know that it’s the small stuff around the home that really does matter.
Whether it’s a squeaky door, dripping faucet, banged-up baseboards, or just something that doesn’t work the way it should(or did), it’s time to fix it!
Make a list of and challenge yourself to check ONE thing off of it EVERY week.
When you start fixing/upgrading small things, it motivates you to keep going. Yes, owning a home does take effort. But if you’re not handy – hire out! If there are companies that specialize in picking up dog poop from your backyard, you can surely find someone to fix EVERYTHING ELSE around your home.
Really. Do it. You’ll feel better.
