Don’t underestimate the importance of four minutes. Not ever. Take my commute home on the train. I used to be able to make it home in under an hour by making all my train connections. It was tight but possible. That was of course until the geniuses at NJ Transit decided to change the schedule and bump my one train’s departure by a whole four minutes. Doesn’t seem like a whole lot but it puts such a world of hurt on my ride home. As a result of said four minutes, I miss my connecting train and it adds over 30 minutes to the ride home. Ugh. Such things just make a person not want to deal with the hassle.
Anyway, I think the point here is to not let the fine grained stuff pass you by. It adds up quickly. Like how four makes thirty. Know what I mean?
