Are You Putting the Cart Before the Horse?

by | Jan 21, 2025 | Daily Shorts

Let me ask you this: Have you ever started packing for a tripā€¦ before booking the tickets? Thatā€™s putting the cart before the horse, my friend.

This phrase describes doing things out of order, usually with hilariousā€”or disastrousā€”results. Itā€™s like trying to frost a cake before baking it or buying a treadmill before deciding to exercise.

The saying comes from a literal image: a cart in front of a horse doesnā€™t go anywhere. The horse needs to lead, just like our priorities.

Next time you catch yourself planning the ending before writing the beginning, take a step back. Ask yourself: ā€œAm I putting the cart before the horse?ā€ If the answer is yes, rework your order and watch everything fall into place.
