Do something different

Someone close (not a client) was moaning about not having time to wash the car. I suggested they try a handwash car wash they regularly drive past and they said, "Don't be so ridiculous, I can do it myself."

Seconds later, they asked, "How much?"

It's about £6 and they've now tried it and are delighted with the results.

I hadn't realised but they'd been meaning to wash it for ages. Everytime they walked past / got in, the guilt was there... Exhausting.

Is there anything you've been putting off for ages that could be done by someone else for a small fee you'd be happy to pay?

If you think paying for it is unfathomable, can you just get on with it and do it so you can finally start enjoying your dirty car equivalent?

Do something different. It may make your day (like the person who now plans to upgrade and get a wax and vacuum next time they get the car cleaned professionally).

Or you may realise that just doing whatever it is frees up enough energy to make your day anyway.
