Burden - Lose

bur·den

noun

1. a load, especially a heavy one.

In the proposed use burden is used metaphorically, so it is not an idiom, although both idioms and metaphors are figures of speech.

Head Start - you Win

You Snooze - you Lose

Snoozing means sleeping, or napping. The idea of this phrase is that if you let yourself get distracted from your goals (snoozing, or not paying attention), someone is going to beat you to them, and you lose. This refers to the old story about the Tortoise racing the Hare. When the Hare got cocky and took a nap, the Tortoise passed him and won the race.
