Very good analogy, Sarah! I might print out that image of the car as a reminder!
I'd only like to add that I've read how many people and 'things' are pulling your time in many directions these last few years, and I STRONGLY relate to that, even now, with just Mum and myself, I've already pivoted 3 times in 2 days. Suffice to say, we may not need to dedicate time for the FULL maintenance, but I'd suggest getting help or breaking it into smaller, manageable pieces over time so it's less scary and grating on the nerves! (aka convincing myself as I write this in a comment to you ;-) ) My list did a mini-explosion yesterday with a house issue, so your post is perfectly timed! I literally called for help earlier today, so it's now in the 'moving forward' pile.
