Oh gosh, so as you can tell, I forgot once again. I planned how to celebrate a good friends birthday rather than focusing on my blog. I can't believe this is happening. I can remember just about everything that is due and yet this is the second time I am late for my blogging. For some reason, I just don't register blogs apparently as homework. Okay, so from the comments in my last blog, cellphones are a good idea I guess. For awhile, I decided not to resort to cellphones for reminding me to do things because it takes me too long to input words since I don't have a cellphone that has a keypad with all the letters. However, my cellphone is still a good idea because I always have my cellphone around me and so I would be forced to look at it when the alarm goes off to remind me of an event. Another good method would be placing a sticky note on my forehead or just my hand. Or, I guess I could rely on writing on my hand again.
As for operational conditioning, I would rather chose reinforcements rather than punishments because I love positive things rather than negativity. So, I think I will be using positive reinforcements. That means, I will reward myself for doing blogs and reading my planner.
I love to eat but that is definitely not a good reward system since I also want to lose weight and body fat. So, since I also like to go shop and buy things for my house, I will reward myself with money. I will make a chart for myself. Every time I check my planner or my cellphone about homework or blogging, I will give myself $2 to spend for shopping. I will be starting by taking all of the cash out of my wallet and add to it, every time. That ways, every time I forget to check my planner, I also forget to add cash in my wallet. This is a fixed ratio because every time I do it, I get rewarded and it will be $2 everytime that I perform those actions. If I reinforce this strictly, I will have to read my planner because I will be needing money in my wallet. Hopefully this is helpful.
