125: The Power of Fixing What You’ve Been Avoiding
Update: 2025-06-09
Description
This week we reflect on the small but powerful act of fixing a broken wheel on an office cart—and what it taught us about decision-making, resourcefulness, and letting go of mental clutter. We explore how these “tiny wins” can create major momentum in your organizing journey, and how to know when it’s time to fix something, repurpose it, or move on.
This is part of our ongoing Fix It or Free It series, where each month we take on a single item we've been avoiding and finally make a decision. This month? A quick 20-minute fix made a big difference—and we’re breaking down why.
In This Episode We Talk About:
- How small repairs can spark a sense of progress and empowerment
- The hidden weight of “wobbly” systems and unmade decisions
- A practical mindset shift for tackling your fix-it pile with purpose
Mentioned in This Episode:
- The Fix It or Free It challenge
- Why “just fix it” can be a powerful organizing tool
- How to assess when to repair, replace, or release an item
