问题都爱滚雪球：别让小问题变成大麻烦！

You let your email pile up. Or perhaps you are using your inbox as your todo list. Now, you suddenly find yourself with hundreds (or thousands) of emails in your inbox. Important items get missed or overlooked. Soon, your email is a mess of unanswered and un-replied to messages.
你的邮件堆积如山，或许你的收件箱就是你的待办清单，要做的事情都在里面。但现在，你发现其中堆积了成百上千（甚至是成千上万）的邮件。最重要的邮件要么找不到要么就被忽视掉了。很快你的邮件就成为了一堆无人回复的信息垃圾堆。

5. Relationships
关系

Small relationship problems become big ones when not addressed. Grudges grow, misunderstandings become mis-truths. And soon, what could have been addressed with a friendly conversation has turned into an adversarial situation.
人际关系中的小问题一旦不被重视也会变成大麻烦。怨恨增长，误会就变成了伪真理。很快，有可能通过友好谈话解决问题的关系，会迅速变成了敌对的情况。

6. Deadlines
最后期限

Small projects are easy until you run them up against a deadline. Suddenly a small task has become a crisis at the eleventh hour. You may find yourself without the materials or information that you need to complete it.
只要不拖到最后期限，小项目都是很容易完成的。但一旦小任务到了最后时刻，也不禁会成为一次“危机”。你会发现自己突然找不到需要完成任务的材料或信息。

Don’t Let Small Problems Get Big
别让小问题变成大麻烦

What small problems are you facing? Get to them before they grow into larger ones.
你正遇到哪些小问题？在它们变成大麻烦之前赶紧去解决。

You can save yourself much time and stress by addressing them early. Most problems start small… let’s keep them that way.
早点解决能给自己减少更多的时间和压力。基本上大麻烦都是源自小问题，就把它们扼杀在摇篮之中吧。
