A Post-it note is a wonderful tool because it sticks anywhere. Do you know the economical way of using sticky notes? Buy one or more in pad form ( 5 inches) and cut it into 5 small sticks because one Post-it note or Sticky note usually is about one item, one idea, or one important thing to do. It is a waste to use sticky notes in pad form unless you are writing notes on them. One more thing, don’t use white Post-it notes because they will not stand out. Bright colors get noticed easily. Here are 10 productive ways to use such sticky notes.
