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.

Thank you kind person. This is annenormous issue for me, and it was extremely helpful having you spell this strategy out so simply.
