Default motivation

The message
from "Seven" contains these words:

ok,


How do I motivate myself to go out and remove them weeds when it was
hailstones here earlier on and is still freezing?


The weeds are mostly dandelion, is it worth taking them out now or will they
die with the winter frost?


No, they will crouch underground doing muscle flexes and sucking in
nutrients all winter, so that at the first sign of spring an almighty
squat thrust will force up a huge rosette of leaves and flowerbuds.
Thanks to a winter of underground fitness training every dandelion will
be twice as strong healthy and floriferous as it was the previous
autumn...especially those innocent little seedlings which look so weak
and feeble, and can be tweaked out with a mean finger pinch.

Wait for a day when the soil is damp but not soggy or frosty, and
you'll find it's not too hard to prise up the larger plants with a fork
slid under the rosette; the aim is to get as much unbroken root as
possible.
