In my day , smartphones weren't even a thing .

The first thing I do in the morning is make a cup of coffee.

I narrowly avoided hitting the car in front of me. It was a close thing.

I like to think things through before making a decision.

Sure thing! I'll be there on time.

Here's the thing , I need you to help me move.

I need to make things right with my girlfriend.

First things first, let's prioritize our tasks for today.

I need to have a conversation with him to set things straight.

You should just relax and do your thing.
