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

You can also buy restickable gluestick and make ANYTHING a post-it. I have a few gluesticks and keep one in a pouch in my bag but I don't know if its reusable. I'll have to see if I can find any re-stickable gluesticks next time I'm running errands. Thanks for the pointer, pooks. » POSTED IN:
