Dimples on the Edge

Why is it so easy to let things slide in the home or with personal belongings? Why do we accept our own negligence when it comes to ourselves?

For example: I have been living in my house for 6 years now, and have never done regular yard maintenance. I simply let my weeds overgrow until I get sick of looking at them and then pull. Same with routine maintenance and cleaning of my car. Outside of oil changes, I just kind of let it rock.

However, when I began prepping my home and getting things ready for my move, there were so many things that I needed to get on a more automated system. I added above ground watering to my plants. Why hadn’t I ever done that before? I would just water them manually every MWF, and while I liked the routine, automating sooner would have made my life so much easier. I set up monthly landscaping maintenance, and got my car washed, internally and externally.

Simple things that would’ve made my life so much easier the entire time I have been living here, and instead others get to reap the benefits. Another lesson that I will take with me to the future.
