You know when you put off doing something because you think it’s hard, and then you finally do it and it was really easy? So you wonder why on earth you didn’t do it long ago? Yeah, that.

When my first key stopped opening the car door remotely, I put it away and used the second key until its battery also started dying. This morning I spent a few minutes on Youtube, then realized that I had the right sized batteries. Voila, both fobs are now resuscitated. I don’t know if I should feel inordinately pleased with myself or embarrassed that it took me so long to get to such a simple task.

Now I’m asking myself, what other inconveniences am I tolerating that could be mitigated with less than five minutes’ effort?
