Do you have any advice on making the repairing process less painful? I’ve learned to repair things here and there: home, auto, woodwork, sewing, etc. and so I’ll make a repair purely out of the sense of obligation not to create waste. But I haaaaaate it. Every minute that I’m performing a repair, I’m bored to death. My brain is screaming at me to find any alternative occupation. I wind up spending the whole repair time drinking and/or distracting myself with podcasts to make the experience suck less, but then my results take a hit. You would think that the gradual accumulation of skills is something I would find satisfying, but I can’t see the process as anything but a chore. Does anybody have advice on how to cope with this in a healthier manner?
