My Ma used to talk about her post-run, hot latte as a carrot for completing marathon training. When I was younger, I interpreted this metaphor literally and tied a big crunchy carrot to the end of a stick and attached it to our food obsessed dachshund. She waddled around with it until a nice soul took pity on her (it wasn’t me). 

I don’t have carrots yet for these #thingsIwanttodo, but maybe the carrot can be doing them? Brain tricks are good for motivation.
