Ignoring a small problem as something inconsequential leads to giant frustrations later on.

Imagine a mosquito in your room at night buzzing around your ear while you’re trying to sleep. There’s a good chance you will turn on your light and try to find a solution to the problem. It will usually involve a lot of jumping and clapping in the air.

Now picture a fly buzzing around your house. You let it be as a small issue that will take care of itself and it finds a way into your garbage to lay some eggs. Before the garbage goes to the curb, there’s an infestation in your house.

The batteries in your flash light are dead and the only time you could be bothered to remember replacing them is when the power goes out at night.

The quick fix for a household repair causes structural damage after being ignored for a real solution years later.

The corner cut in your work results in having to do twice the amount of work later on.

A small problem that can be remedied by a bit of extra care and time is worth the effort for your sanity down the road.
