This blog is a classic example of how a deadline can remind a person to do something. I generally forget about this assignment from one end of the week to the next (unless I think of a really great topic idea), but when it's Saturday morning, and it is time to actually sit down and write it, I suddenly remember that I have to write 750 words and I get on it.
Deadlines that are consistent are also part of a schedule that we all get used to. I sometimes manage to walk across campus from one class to another with out really realizing where I am going or how I am getting there. I don't need the room numbers after I have been to a class once or twice. In fact, if you asked me for my own address right now, I couldn't tell you what my room number is because I know how to get to my room…so why would I need to know the number?
Then again, if I sat down in the middle of the week and listed out all the things I had to do over the weekend, this blog would be on the list, and if I needed my room number for something, I could probably come up with the number (459).
The moral of this story…
When you see something or do something all the time, you may not consciously know the information or what you need to do, but you will definitely remember when you need to.
