I spend a lot of time fixing things, for myself and others. (Computers, electrical, plumbing, etc). While I learn a lot, I wonder sometimes if it would be better to pay a professional and do something else for which I am more 'valuable'. Do you do the same, and do you find it worthwhile?

A lot more than it used to be. But I’m also getting lazier. I used to spend all weekend learning some new tech on my computer and now I can’t be bothered.
