Jam tomorrow

"Jam tomorrow" is a phrase that originates from Lewis Carroll's "The Nursery Alice," a version of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." The phrase refers to the promise of good things in the future—specifically, the idea of receiving something desirable (like jam) but only at a later time. It often implies a sense of procrastination or the deferment of rewards, suggesting that while something may be promised, it is not immediately available or may never come to fruition.
