In Spanish there's a phrase pattern that would translate (literally) as "How to do X without dying while you try" ("Cómo hacer X sin morir en el intento").
Is there any similar concept in English? I feel I've read something like that, but can't seem to find it.
How to do X without killing yourself.
Word reference.com offers two translations:
WordReference.com "sin morir en el intento (Spanish-English)
without perishing in the attempt;
not die trying
