Hidden uses of sticky notes

Hidden uses of sticky notes: memos, marks, etc.

Memo: Important events that are easy to forget are written on a sticky note with a thick marker and posted in a conspicuous place in front of the table. For example, next to the computer, on the partition, you can see it as soon as you look up, and it is difficult to forget. Especially before a holiday, if you still have some unfinished tasks at hand, it is recommended that you list them on a sticky note first and stick it on the computer monitor after turning off the computer.

Mark: After the files are divided into categories, you can put sticky notes on the top page and write down the key points before storing them. It’s clear when you open it again. It's the same in life. If you put the milk that was just opened in the refrigerator, write down the number of the bottle it was opened on. Otherwise, after a while, you will forget whether the milk is still drinkable after how many days it has been stored.

Post-it notes

Post-it notes were invented by 3M engineer Arthur Fry in 1974. Originally, scientists wanted to study a very sticky glue, but found that what they got was a weak glue with weak stickiness. A person from 3M Company discovered its real value from this experiment. Post-it notes have an adhesive back so you can jot down what you want to do, then peel it off and stick it where you can easily see it.

Remind yourself of to-do items. And it can also be used to inform people of information, which is very convenient. The response to the sticky notes was unsuccessful at first. Later, the marketers thought of sending the sticky notes to secretaries of the top 100 companies for trial use. The response was very enthusiastic, and the sticky notes successfully created a reputation and became a best-seller.
