Making this Blog Worthwhile

Trying to come up with this blog on the spot every week is starting to get complicated. Every Saturday I think, "Ah man! I haven't posted my blog for M COM yet." That moment happened again just three minutes ago. This blog assignment is like an annoying little dog that keeps coming back no matter how far you throw the stick. I like the assignment but I don't think I'm going about it right.

So what?

I am not giving this assignment enough attention to really get some meaning out of it. I am not thinking about it at all except when I'm going to turn it in.

Now what?

I need to be aware during the week of experiences that I can write about. Then I don't have to sit here at the computer and try to remember what I learned during the week. Usually my brain is so fried by Saturday that remembering experiences becomes difficult.

If I have this assignment in mind during the week, then I can jot a simple reminder in my notebook anytime that I learn something valuable. When it comes time to post this blog, I can flip through my notebook and actually write something worthwhile. When I write something worthwhile, I will actually be moved to do something worthwhile as a result of this blog assignment.

I think that's the whole point.
