This is exactly the kind of rule I try to avoid as much as possible.
Either by choosing processes that don't need them, by changing them to periodic schedules(Like checking the dryer lint on scheduled reminder), by having backup plans, or whatever else I can think of.
I call them "When X I will Y" problems and they're one of the things I always look for in almost any situation, to predict what I think is mostly likely to go wrong.
When you're in a complete flow state it's easy to forget that anything outside of X exists, even if some people just automatically think of Y when they see X.
