Creative Post-It Usage
GOD | Feb 6 2006
I have a dry-erase board in my room with the same notes I left for myself several months ago. I found that post-its work much better for what I was trying to do with it -- provide reminders for myself. The only thing to refine was a slight bit of resistance in finding a post-it, writing the reminder, and affixing it to the door, but I found a hack. I had been thinking of getting one of those pop-up post-it dispensers (especially after seeing the Machinist), but I just couldn't justify the (albeit relatively low) cost, since it's really not that hard to put up a post-it as it is. My hack, then, is to put a bunch of blank post-its in some pattern (I made them say 'Hi' this time) on whatever surface you normally use so they're already there when you want to use them. 18 Comments

That's fun, GOD. I visited some friends at Blogger/Google a few months ago, and one of them who shall remain nameless used his totally foxy Dell flatscreen -- powered off-- exclusively as a place to put his post-its. It seemed to work for him. Orthogonal: almost everyone I know who writes for a living -- particularly journalists -- are totally addicted to post-it notes. Everytime I do an interview, I make a point of asking reporters whether they have any little yellow pieces of paper stuck to the edge of their monitor, and without fail (so far) every single one has responded in the positive. :) » POSTED IN:
