Tip #60 Fix It, If It's Broken

Do you have something around your house that needs to be fixed but you haven’t taken five or ten minutes to fix it? You’ll make a little extra effort every day to work around the problem thinking that you don’t have the time to actually fix it.

The truth is that you spend more time and energy working around the problem than you would actually fix it.
We should change our mindset again, that if something in our house is broken, we should first try to fix it instead of buying a new thing right away. Our grandparents had the right attitude when they would always try to repair everything, find the missing parts and come up with the ideas of how that particular thing give them some more use.
This way we will be able to save some money and our planet save from some waste.
