my inner stuart smalley

I don't have enough tidbits for a self-help book, but I might have enough for a pamphlet. This would be one of them: I'm convinced that the best motivator in the world, even better than money, fame, or even the threat of humiliation, is a workout schedule written on a calendar. Who would think that drawing a line through each completed workout would be so gratifying? Give it a try. And if you're really set on reaching a goal, make it public (right, Emilie?).
