Get the Ball Rolling
To start something, especially a project or activity.
Examples
- Okay, enough planning — let's get the ball rolling on the presentation so we have time to tweak it before Friday.
- If we want dinner at that place, we should get the ball rolling on making a reservation now.
- I keep putting off the garage cleanup, so today I'm going to get the ball rolling by hauling one box out.

Remix: I'll stage it so the easiest choice looks like the only sensible one — all charm up front, no exit routes once they walk through.
