Instead, assess your ability level and identify the DIY projects you’re able to safely complete.

Focus on the benefits of taking on a DIY.

If you focus on your motivations, they might be enough tohelp you past any FOMU.
Weigh the potential risks of the projects youd like to complete, and be realistic.

Think about FOMU-proof projects, such as replacing doorknobs or painting.
