Just do it

Before;
We're running out of basic household supplies. We need a 'proper' shopping trip. What day shall we head down to Saint-Girons/Tarascon/Foix and brave the min. 1 hour round trip?
Now;
We're running out of basic household supplies. We need a 'proper' shopping trip. I'll just pop along to Lavelanet. There and back and big shop done within the hour.

Before;
I fancy a bit of a jog, a stretch of the legs, nothing too far or too steep. Better jump in the car and head down to Massat then
Now;
I fancy a bit of a jog, a stretch of the legs, nothing too far or too steep. I'll just step out of the door and go as far as I fancy going!

Before;
I could really do with a good, long outing on the roadie, not too much ascent, just good distance. Forget it 1) There's snow down to 900m 2) Ascent is unavoidable.... unless you want a 1.5-2 hr round trip drive
Now;
I could really do with a good, long outing on the roadie, not too much ascent, just good distance. Let's go!

Before;
Fancy a coffee and a chat with me mate. Jeez, I just can't face the 2 hour round trip! Maybe another time.
Now;
Fancy a coffee and a chat with me mate. See you in 10 minutes, Pat!!!

It's called having a life. It's quite exciting really! Fun times ahead :-D
