Productivity versus Organization
Beyond using sticky notes for creative and diy uses, is productivity and organization. Without which, I am a lost cause. Sticky notes, or the other version, Post-it Notes™, is something I've relied upon for years while at the computer. I inherited this kind of "quick note" taking, and often see it as a way to link to the note, knowing full well it becomes a bit of clutter on my desk later on. I just don't know when to stop and declutter the oodles of "scratch work art" that becomes me. Perhaps one day, it becomes 'noteworthy'. In the meantime, a pile of them, written with good intentions float about to remind me of something important to remember. I basically learn from the writing it down part. That is productivity! All kidding aside, it's the organizing that baffles me the majority of the time. The good news about this is how easy it is to drop in the trash, if it's lived out it's life term. That's part of organizing, right? Stickable or not, does not matter, but I prefer the glued back paper without leaving the hardened glue at the top. I tend to yank that off and find myself with loose papers again. So, good invention, yes, and if you haven't seen this quick trick, you'll love it. Use a binder or chip clip to make your sticky notes stand up. That way your note will reflect back to you while you work.
