I have never been able to motivate myself to blog.
Faced with the requirement, I find myself again staring at a blank box and unable to start.
And then I think, if I have this problem, surely others must. I mean, I can't be the only one who doesn't want to keep a journal, write a blog, update my status regularly etc. If blogging is going to work in an educational setting, then all students are going to have to participate, not just the ones who like doing it. How to get the IDon'tWannas (like me) to blog?
Daily Blog Tips suggests blogging about something that one is passionate about. This makes sense for personal use, but if students are assigned to blog for a class, they aren't necessarily going to be passionate about the subject matter. He (Daniel Scocco) also says that when I don't want to do it, I should force myself. Thanks.

Pick the brains says I need to focus on the positive things in my life, focus on a positive goal, and direct my energy toward success. I think I just hit the fortune cookie trifecta.

Uh, OK. Thanks.
