Don't get distracted. A lot of messed up meals are due to distraction. The margin between perfect and overcooked can be razor thin. Using a tbsp instead of tsp in baking can be devastating. Remove distractions, and just stand there and do it right.
Can't tell you the number of times I've watched people mess up meals because they go take out the trash, put the clothes in the dryer, watch TV, check on little Timmy, etc.

Case in point...I visited my daughter and her husband and offered to make Peposo for them, a dish I've made several times and really like. I got it going and ran upstairs for a 10-minute meeting. The meeting went on for 45 minutes -- it's was supposed to simmer for about 2-3 hours so no problem right? I didn't know how to use their fancy stove top and when I turned it down, I was actually turning down the outer ring and turning up the inner ring. (I typically cook over a gas flame). Luckily, my SiL turned it off before it ruined the nice brasier they had given me for Christmas and another dose of wine made it edible, but not really very good. It is a great dish, but I screwed it up royally that time.
