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.

I think it's also important that sometimes the 2 dishes is just the 2 dishes, otherwise your brain starts to say "sure you say 2 dishes, but that really means the whole thing!"

Make a stack of dishes next to the sink. Put two items or a handful into the sink. Only wash the items in the sink.

A sink blocked by a stack of dishes is not a usable sink.
