Let us now praise Post-it notes
Merlin Mann | Apr 18 2005
Phil Gyford has a neat trick, by which he adds a few large Post-it notes to the inside cover of a book he’s starting to read. Handy way to make notes on the go. I’m also a big fan of these removable/re-placeable Avery Write-On tabs, which you can stick in the front cover of your Moleskine or similar notebook. Makes it easy to do the Jerry Brito trick—creating ad hoc sections and shifting the location of your current TODO page, etc. In other news, Amazon should be delivering my copy of Rapid Problem Solving with Post-it Notes tomorrow. Dunno if it’ll be any good, but it does look intriguing and got good reviews. Got a good sticky-note trick to share? Planning? Brainstorming? Contextual notes? 36 Comments

 Post-It Notes are great for...Submitted by Lars (not verified) on April 18, 2005 - 12:36pm.
Post-It Notes are great for capturing and communicating thoughts and ideas, for yourself or in collaboration with others. But there are so many good ideas in the earlier comments that I wanted to contribute a slightly different use of Post-It Notes: Whenever I drill a hole in a wall, I fold a Post-It and attach it to the wall directly below the drilling area. The adhesive connects with the wall and the rest of the note forms a little horisontal “shelf”. When I drill the hole, the dust collects on the shelf. Just fold up the Post-It with the dust inside and bin it. No need to bring out the vacuum cleaner for a drilling job again. » POSTED IN:
