The proverb "a watched pot never boils" is often misattributed to Benjamin Franklin, but the saying existed before his time, appearing in various cultures and languages, suggesting a universal sentiment. The idea behind it is that when one is focused too closely on an outcome, time seems to drag, and the process feels slower. The proverb serves as a reminder that patience is essential and that things often happen in their own time, without the need for constant observation.
