What Does It Mean to “Keep the Ball Rolling”?

by | Jan 19, 2025 | Daily Expressions

Here’s a question: Have you ever started cleaning one room and somehow ended up reorganizing your entire house? That’s keeping the ball rolling.

This phrase is all about maintaining momentum—whether it’s a project, a conversation, or even a workout you’re trying not to quit. Imagine pushing a giant ball. Once it’s moving, it’s easier to keep it rolling than to stop and start all over again.

Think about a group project. Someone throws out an idea, another person builds on it, and before you know it, you’ve created something amazing—or at least presentable by tomorrow’s deadline. That’s teamwork fueled by momentum.

The key is to avoid losing steam. So when you’re in the zone, whether it’s brainstorming, cooking, or planning your dream vacation, don’t stop. Keep the ball rolling, and you might just surprise yourself with what you can achieve.
