This is a HUGE problem for me. The first incident that came to mind was one time when I stayed up all night decorating a birthday cake. And it wasn’t even a complicated one. It started with the icing being the wrong consistency. I was so frustrated because I couldn’t get it the way I wanted it and I just ended up having a complete meltdown, scraping the icing off and redoing it, then scraping again, over, and over and over.

The best solution is to walk away. Unless it is something that absolutely must be fixed, leave it and move on. That night I should have put the cake and the icing in the fridge and gone to bed, then tried again in the morning. If I had done that I probably would not have spent all those wasted hours on it before I finally figured out that I just needed to add more milk. And I wouldn’t have felt nearly as stupid for not seeing that incredibly simple solution

As for how to deal with weeds, my solution is don’t.

And now I have to ask, what the heck is a “drip line”?
