Small corrections protect systems from needing dramatic rescues.

Systems fail dramatically when small deviations are allowed to accumulate unchecked. Corrected early, each one is a minor adjustment nobody remembers. Left alone, they compound until the only available response is a large, expensive, disruptive intervention. The size of the rescue is usually a measure of how long the corrections were postponed.

Build a habit of small corrections. Adjust when you notice, not when it becomes serious. Frequent minor fixes prevent almost all of the dramatic kind.
