Clock repair takes the tiniest tools and the steadiest hands. Big fixes often need small, patient moves.

Big repairs are usually made of small, patient moves. Nobody fixes a mechanism by force, because the parts are tiny and the work is slow and the main skill is keeping your hands steady while almost nothing appears to happen. Things that have gone wrong in a friendship, a grade or a body tend to respond to the same approach. The impulse is to do something dramatic, and dramatic is rarely what the thing needs.

Consider the problem you keep wanting to solve in one go. Choose the smallest real move this week and make only that, properly.
