Jump the Gun
To start something earlier than you should, before all the facts or preparations are ready.
Examples
- I totally jumped the gun and told everyone about the surprise party before we'd even picked a date.
- Don't jump the gun — wait until she gives a firm yes.
- Am I jumping the gun if I book the morning flight now?
