I have forgotten the last two blogs now and it is irritating the heck out of me. I have written it down several times and heard Stephanie talk about almost every day of class. For some reason I stil cannot remember to write the blog by the due date. So I am doing this one ahead of time in frustration
I have to ask myself, "what is it that causes me to not remember this?" I think the answer comes in routine. I work 26 hours per week, 16 credit hours for school, and many other church related activities. I have very little time where I am just sitting down relaxing and it is very hard for me to get into any sort of routine with some things because I do not do them every day. A routine is very important in someone's day that is very busy, because with out it something simple, like writing a blog on time, can be easily forgotten.
I think that one affective would be to ask a close family member or friend to make the person sit down and do the work they need to do. This way would be most effective because having a person remind someone is more likely to trigger some sort of sense of his or her conscience. They may start thinking, "If (insert name here) told me I need to do this then I really should do it." On the other hand, for those who are more stubborn, a different approach would be to practice it ahead of time. If someone knows they are going to have a busy week it would be more effective to make a point to practice doing the task at a certain time of day each day or week instead of waiting to see when he or she has free time.
