As you can tell, clearly, I am already late for my second posting. There's a lot of things on my plate this semester with school, being the Academic Senator with the Associated Students on campus, as well as working with the Campaign Measure RR to better Mount SAC. With that said, I had a Senate training meeting today from 9-4pm. After the meeting and after sending a friend home, I came home at like 6:30pm and dozed off to sleep because I was so tired. Well, that really costs me since I woke up at like 8:30pm...YIKES! Obviously, I was late for my posting. I wanted to write this entry throughout the week and even on friday night, but I kept on assuring myself that I was going to remember and have tons of time after the training session today. Long behold, I was wrong. So, the behavior I will be observing from now on forward is checking my planner. I love my planner but sometimes I get too lazy to check it because I always think the tasks are already "consolidated in my memory." Well, today proved me quite the opposite. So, by checking my planner more often, I will no longer have to rely on my memory and just look at the tasks as it is written. Also, if I write down tasks to be done ahead of time, I can mitigate procrastination and finish my work before it is due and late posting would hopefully not happen again *knock on wood*. I can be more assured that I finish all of my tasks and have them done on time. Plus, another bonus is that I won't need to keep writing things on my hand and therefore I will decrease my chances for skin cancer :). If you had seen my left hand on friday, you would've thought I'm ridiculous.
If anyone has any other suggestions to solve procrastination or how to better organize my tasks please don't hesitate to let me know!

Post-it notes are your best friend. And as a plus, they come in fun shapes, sizes, and colors. YAY VARIETY! :)
I have the same problem as well.
Before I go to school everyday, I tell myself 'okay,today i am going to write down my homework in my planner'. It never happens. I'll end up doing things like half an hour before its due. I even forgot about our first psych test until the day of. that's why i didnt have a notecard.
what helps me occasionally is writing on things on the back of my hand. like before i go to sleep if i forget something before i go to sleep, i write it on the back of my hand. when i wake up in the morning, i just do it without looking at what i wrote down.
i guess its like mentally writing it down? i dont know
I love my planner too. Although, most times I don't really check what's on the next week til the next week. And by then I am pretty screwed. So with time management I just usually keep everything boring and consistent. BUT! I can offer a suggestion.
After I finished summer session this year I went all out and did a lot of partying. As the fall semester came around, I had problems committing 100%. I went to my cousins wedding, got really drunk, had fun with my family, and then I took a ribbon wrapped around this little love quotes and wrapped it around my wrist. And kept it there to consistently remind myself that I can have fun on a weekend and that I will always have a time to have that fun. NOBODY KNOWS. Well I guess now everyone can know. But I hope the concept helps.
try to wear something that reminds you of your responsibilities so that when you look at yourself you always remember you have something to do or blah blah blah, yeah?!
