I spend a lot of time fixing things, for myself and others. (Computers, electrical, plumbing, etc). While I learn a lot, I wonder sometimes if it would be better to pay a professional and do something else for which I am more 'valuable'. Do you do the same, and do you find it worthwhile?
I enjoy fixing things, even other people's shit, so I categorize that time as entertainment instead of work. It's time I'd otherwise be using to doomscroll on Lemmy.
Entertainment value nails it
