Behavior at Baseline

The week of observing this behavior has passed and this is what i remembered from the schedule I wrote last week:

Week of April 14th
Monday
10am - remembered to turn in forms
10:30 - meeting
12pm - turned in history homework
3pm - turned in forms

Tuesday
2:30pm - did some physics homework
7:30pm - created song list and script

Wednesday
6am - print experiment paper
10am - study for psych
11:30am - turned in psych. homework
7:30pm - finished physics homework

Thursday
8am -studied for physics
12pm - turned in physics homework

Friday
12pm - studied for history


the things i forgot to do:
- my promos and station sweeps
- studio time
- study for psych

and obviously most of them i didn't do at the assigned time.


The thing is, I do these tasks whenever i remembered them. I don't fail to do them because i set them aside, i fail to do them because i fail to remember them. And when i do, I'm always in a hurry to finish them, which i guess another reason why i forget the other things im supposed to be doing at that time.
The schedule i made last week is the ideal schedule for me so that i will not be cramming during the week. But i still ended up cramming my physics homework until 1am and trying to study as fast as i can the next morning before i went to school. If I had followed the schedule I set myself, I would have a good amount of sleep everyday and reduce more than half the stress im having just because i don't have my planner to remind me what to do.
My schedule isn't at all hard to remember because it's based on my daily routine. I usually do my homework after dinner, print things i have to turn in in the morning, and study the day before. But even my daily routine gets screwed up without my planner.

Operant conditioning is, in a way, given in my situation. If I remember my schedule, I would have a good amount of sleep, I'll be less tired, and less stressed. If I don't, an all nighter will kill me eventually. (just kidding)

Ideas that might help me improve this behavior in a long term basis might need more research about improving the prospective memory. The prospective memory is our memory of our plans to do in the future, like schedules or paying bills, taking medication. In my research i will try to devise a way for me to help me remember what i should be remembering to do.
