Why Are We Not Posting to the Blog?

It is kind of amazing how few of us are making blog posts. For something so important to our grade, we should be jumping at the opportunity for basically free points.  I mean, c'mon, I'm writing a blog post about how we are making blog posts.  We should be much more proactive about earning these points.  I know that in my own experience, I think about the blog posts when I am not around my computer, or when I am working on something else, but I don't remember to write posts when I have the time do them.  I think that in my own life, there are two main problems that contribute to this forgetfulness.  First of all, I am not very organized.  I'll be the first to admit that I oftentimes do not know when things are due.  I rely a lot on my friends to remind me what is due tomorrow.  Unfortunately, I don't see anybody in this class outside of class, so I don't have that luxury in this class. I should really have some sort of planner so that I can remind myself to do the blog posts.  Another problem that I have is that I procrastinate. I am one of the biggest procrastinators I know.  Unfortunately, that doesn't always work out for me.  Whenever I think about doing a blog post, I always think to myself that I'll do it later.  And that's I forget to do it, because I'm focused on other things.  What I need to do is be proactive, and not put off my blog posts until right before they are due.  Another problem that I have specifically with these blog posts is that I do not place enough importance in them.  I focus on other classes that I find more "important," or even other assignments for this class.  I work on getting those assignments done, and the blog posts just slip right past my mind.  This very thing happened last night, as I was studying for a test, and completely forgot about the blog, even though I had thought about it earlier in the day.  This will however, really affect my grade in this class, so it needs to stop happening.  Not only have I forgotten to write blog posts, but I also forget to comment on others.  It is simply baffling to me how I keep forgetting to get simple points like this.  Unfortunately, these are points that I cannot get back.  I can't keep doing this, and if anybody else in the class is having these problems, you need to shape up right along with me.
