…never boils.
False, it definitely boils. I’ve watched it.
I took the time, I squandered the time just watching it get there.
But a watched pot steals your time because watching the pot, checking the pot, waiting for the pot has no bearing on the pot boiling or the time it takes to boil.
So although it’s not quite as catchy, the saying might be something like this…
The watched pot is a thief…stealing time, focus and energy…and also, the pot doesn’t care that you’re watching it.
Go do something else.
