A recent article highlighted six different household tasks that, if done on a yearly basis, could save thousands of dollars in home repair. After reading the information, you may reach one simple conclusion: upkeep is important.

Difficult as it is to shell out a hundred dollars here, a hundred dollars there for maintenance, it is an essential part to the prevention of larger problems. As Financially Fit discussed in a recent article, upkeep is especially important for homeowners:

In this economy, you may be tempted to delay or even skip minor home maintenance repairs, cleaning jobs and inspections in your home. But don’t be penny-wise and dollar-foolish. That $200 or $300 you save today could result in expenditures of $3,000 or even tens of thousands next month or next year if hidden problems in your home go unnoticed and become worse.

Consider coughing up a little dough to take care of these small jobs before they morph into gigantic, expensive jobs later.

This article brings up a very important, yet very underrated notion about active precaution. For many of us, the idea is quite simple and relatively easy—be proactive in care and reap the benefits. Yet, sometimes it’s easier said than done. After all, continual upkeep doesn’t just cost us money. It costs us time. And for many of us, it is the latter that becomes the deterrent to our success.

Unfortunately, stalling on or neglecting processes can lead to extreme disorganization, loss of productivity, decreased value or even loss of motivation. These problems are all expensive, time consuming and/or difficult to mend. So is there an easy and convenient way to recuperate the broken process of upkeep in your home or office? Absolutely!
