You ever exercise on an exercise machine and keep checking the timer to see how long is left and it seems to go slowly? That is what is meant by the expression “watched pots never boil”

lol when I run on my treadmill I cover the timer with a sock so I dont keep checking the time. I only look at the timer at the end of my run.

I do bouts of 20 minutes on the treadmill, it cycles through speed, calories burned, distance and of course time spent. I did 30 minutes earlier for once. I love it but I’m afraid it might not be lubricated properly and I don’t wanna fall cuz the mirror is right next to it! 
I’ve been guilty of clock watching at jobs, especially the really boring jobs.

In high school English I sat in the front row and sat there watching the second hand going around the clock.
