Temporary solutions will become permanent solutions unless you explicitly hold yourself to fixing it within a certain time window because it becomes harder the longer time has passed.

This ranges from TODO's in codebases, to unpacked moving boxes, to replacing that sofa you got from your friend, to leaving a toxic relationship.

After a while you acclimatize to the situation and no longer see the issue, and unless something is really broken, it grows harder to motivate yourself to change.
