I remembered a short conversation that I had with a friend (Chris) several years ago during my lunch break today.  The chat dealt with the idea of maintenance and repair.  Chris’s thought is that it is always easier to maintain than to repair.  I agree with him.  While we were talking about a very specific problem at the time, it is an idea that can be applied to every area of life; work, relationships, fitness, and even lawn mowing.

Take a look at areas in your work and personal life that you want improved.  Are you maintaining them or do you wait until things are absolutely broken and then try to fix them.  As you can tell by the above video I have waited far too long to cut the grass in my yard and as a result it will take me about 7 hours to complete.  I will lose time and energy as a result.

There is always a larger cost associated with repair.  Relationships with Clients, Friends, and Your Lawn will be much better for it.
