We'll burn that bridge when we get there. 

A saying that is usually percieved as a malaphor, but can be used to describe the determined yet patient way of getting things done. The meaning could be explained as "we'll come to the bridge, cross it, burn it and move on."

"Have you started studying for finals? There are three of them for three days in a row."

"Nope only for the first one. The rest... Well, we'll burn that bridge when we get there."
