What’s the point of sticky notes?

When you can set notes on your phone or write things in a notepad or journal, is there ever a need for sticky notes? Of course.

Many people find sticky notes to be essential productivity tools. Sticky notes, post it notes, or adhesive notes are a great tool for many reasons, but particularly because they’re:

• • Low tech: easy to use and understand, they require no training at all to use effectively.
• • Colourful and visible: it’s hard to miss a colorful sticky note stuck right to your computer monitor or onto your daily planner
• • Can be stuck anywhere: no matter where you think you need a reminder, a sticky note can be stuck there.
• • Portable: the small size forces you to think about what you’re writing so you produce a concise message
• • Versatile: they can be used for many things, such as quick memos, short messages, brainstorming, to-do lists, and much more
• • Stylish: sticky notes come in a wide range of sizes and styles, so if you want something that’s a little more fun or something with a bit of flair, you can show off your personality with a functional and stylish option.
