A blessing in disguise
Something good that seemed bad at first.
A dime a dozen
Something common
Beat around the bush
Avoiding saying what you want to say because it's uncomfortable.
Call it a day
Stop working on something; finish
Cutting corners
Doing a bad job on something to save time or money
Easy does it
Slow down
Hit the sack or Hit the hay
Go to sleep
It's not rocket science
It's not hard
Make a long story short
Tell a story in a brief way; don't tell every detail
A penny for your thoughts
Tell me what you are thinking about
A perfect storm
The worst possible situation
Comparing apples to oranges
Trying to compare things that are not the same
Do something at the drop of a hat
Do something without planning it
Don't count your chickens before they hatch
Don't count on something happening until it's actually happened
Don't put all your eggs in one basket
You need a variety; don't have all the same thing
Don't give up your day job
You're not very good at something so don't make it your career
