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.

No. I'm the guy people call when they need stuff fixed.

I'm way more worried about messing with things that aren't broken. If it's already busted, I usually don't have to stress about making it worse - and even if I do, I just fix that too. It's actually pretty hard to cause irreversible damage.
