That one thing you didn’t put away. That one task you left half-done. That one bill you didn’t pay.

那件事你还没放弃，那个任务也只做了一半，账单还没付。

All of those are small problems at first. However, they can quickly become big ones if left unchecked.

这些一开始都只是小问题。然而如果不及时核对，就会变成大麻烦。

Big Problems Start Small

大麻烦都是由小问题堆积而成的

In fact, most problems start small. But, when you neglect them or let them sit, they become big ones.

实际上绝大多数的麻烦都来自小问题。一旦你忽视这些问题，或对小问题置之不理，它们就如滚雪球般越来越大了。

Here are several Small Problems That Can Quickly Become Big Ones:

下面是极容易变成大麻烦的小问题：

1. Cleaning Up

清理

That one thing that you sat on your desk. Add that to the afternoon you left without cleaning up. And the papers you didn’t put away. Soon, you are swimming in piles of stuff that needs to be cleaned up.

这是你坐在桌前需要处理的一件事情。如果下午你没有清理桌子，没有扔掉废纸，很快你就会置身于垃圾堆中，一切都亟待清理。

2. Paying Bills

付账单

You let that one bill sit. You forgot about it and now it is overdue. Maybe you now have to pay a late fee, too. Ultimately, it can affect your credit rating and cause even bigger problems down the road.
