Die kurze Antwort
Bite the bullet and 2 more ways to face hard tasks

Die Sätze einzeln erklärt
-
It's time to rip the Band Aid off. So wirkt der Satz: Casual and quick
Use it when a painful task will hurt less if you do it fast, like giving bad news or ending something. It sounds informal, so avoid it in very formal writing.
“No, Jack. It's time to rip the Band Aid off.”
-
It's time to bite the bullet. So wirkt der Satz: Brave and firm
Use it when you or someone else has been avoiding a hard task and now must do it. It works at work and at home, but it doesn't fit a task that is only boring and not difficult.
“It's time to bite the bullet.”
-
Face the music. So wirkt der Satz: Serious, owning the blame
Use it when someone made a mistake and now has to accept what happens next, such as criticism or punishment. Don't use it for a hard task that isn't connected to a mistake.
“Face the music, mister Whitaker.”
-
Let's just get it over with. So wirkt der Satz: Tired but ready
Use it when you want an unpleasant task to be finished soon. It can sound a little negative, so don't say it about something a friend is excited about.
-
I've been putting this off for too long. So wirkt der Satz: Honest, a bit guilty
Use it to admit that you delayed a task and now want to start. It is natural in speech and in emails to friends or coworkers.
-
Here goes nothing. So wirkt der Satz: Nervous, light
Say it right before you try something hard or risky. It's casual and a little humorous, so it doesn't fit serious situations like apologizing for a big mistake.

Bite the bullet is only for hard or unpleasant things. A nice dinner isn't something you need courage for.
-
Noch nicht passend
It's time to face the music and start my new job.So passt es It's time to bite the bullet and start my new job.
Face the music means accepting the results of a mistake. A new job is hard but isn't a punishment, so bite the bullet fits better.
-
Noch nicht passend
It's time to rip off the Band Aid slowly.So passt es It's time to rip the Band Aid off.
The whole idea is speed. Adding slowly breaks the meaning, because the image is a fast pull that hurts for only a second.
