cut corners

Originally used in travel terminology, as "to take a shortcut" (ie, pass by the corners, since cutting along any alternative path is faster than going all the way round the damn corner).

Used more frequently to mean skipping the hard stuff, use the easy way.

Exercise? You're kidding me, right?
I'd much rather cut corners and just get liposuction on this flab o' mine.

If you cut corners in school, you'll never learn the entire shitload.
