Editor’s note: I know this one’s a little different from my usual columns, but I just had to get it out. I had fun writing it — I hope you have fun reading it.
I am addicted to Post-It notes.
I have no idea why. Size doesn’t even matter — though I tend to gravitate toward the modest ones, not the super-tiny squares.
I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on bullet journals (which I actually used, by the way). There’s one sitting in my desk file thingy right now — the kind that holds everything except the thing you’re looking for.
But still, I grab the Post-Its.
The commitment to bullet journals disappeared after I left my job. I used to go all in — tabs, ribbons, color codes. I even bought extra tabs to tab my tabs.
And now? I use Post-It notes.
Post-It Anxiety
I use them to take notes. And I realize this is a very precarious practice.
What if a Post-It falls on the floor?
Gets tossed during an ambitious cleaning spree?
Slides under an envelope?
It’s not good practice. Not at all.
