Go Win Something Pretty
On an online forum that I frequent, there is a thread titled, Get It Off Your List, and it is about finishing that one thing that is hanging around on your to-do list that nags at you, drags you down a bit, blocks you from getting anything else accomplished, and is an eat your frog de-motivator.
