The machine needed oil. The garden needed water. The team member needed attention.
Problems appear from unmet needs.
Seldom do problems occur without warning. Often, the problems are completely avoidable. By providing our responsibilities with what they need, we can often keep things in order, running well, centered, and happy. When we ignore this need, more problems pop up.
Once you've solved that problem, do you have a maintenance plan to prevent it from recurring?
