Behold a favorite possession. Design genius. Simple, unbreakable, maintenance free. Reminds me of a genius move mi esposa made several years ago when she landscaped with large bolders. Beautiful, simple, unbreakable, maintenance free. So far, I haven’t had to fertilize or mow them.

I know some people enjoy spending their time fixing things. I’m more handsome than handy, so I usually don’t enjoy fixing things. I’d like to spend less time maintaining and fixing things—cars, bikes, the lawn, the house, although truth in advertising, mi esposa takes the lead in maintaining the house. Given my orientation, a condo would make more sense than a house, but the abrakadabradoodle probably wouldn’t like that so it’s a non-starter.

If you’re like me and you’d like to spend less time maintaining and fixing things, there’s two obvious courses of action.

First, declutter. Sell or give things away that aren’t used regularly and then have the discipline not to repurchase substitutes. Own less and buy less.

Second, seek out products that require less maintenance and fewer repairs even if they cost more and you have to delay purchases.

Damn, I kid you not, my wireless mouse just broke.
