Shortcut for cutting baby carrots

I often buy baby carrots to put on salad, but struggle to cut them into smaller chunks with a knife because they are small and they roll. The other day as I was chopping I looked at my knife block and said "hey, I wonder if my kitchen shears would be easier..." I tried them and sure enough, using the scissors to snip the carrots into small pieces is infinitely easier!

Of course you should only do this if your shears are kept clean enough to touch food directly, but mine are. I now only use the shears to cut baby carrots and it takes seconds instead of minutes, with much less risk to my fingers. That's my kind of shortcut - easy and safer!
