Sticky notes can be great tools for getting and staying organized...they also can be a huge detriment to effective organization. It's important to use them properly.

A few wonderful uses for sticky notes are:

Quick reminders: If I want to remember to bring something with me before exiting my house, I'll often leave a sticky note on the door to remind me. Or, if I have to make a phone call before starting my work for the day, I'll stick a sticky note on my computer monitor to remind me to get that task handled.

Temporary Labels: And I really mean temporary...as in, I'm only using them for the project I'm working on, and then they'll be discarded. For instance, let's say I have a stack of photos I'm sorting. I may use sticky notes to delineate three categories of photos: Childhood, Teens, Adult, for example. Once everything is sorted and in albums or photo boxes, the sticky notes are discarded.

Driving directions or someone's address: I may jot a quick address (and/or driving directions) on a sticky note if I need to drop something off at someone's home. That being said, if it's an address I plan to return to in the future, that information gets transferred to my phone contacts.

Bookmarks: Sometimes I want to refer to certain pages in books (like cookbooks) and will use a sticky note so I can quickly jump to that page.

Quick love Notes: Giving and receiving love notes...posted to the bathroom mirror, stuck in a lunch box, etc. is fun!

Here's where using sticky notes, however, becomes ineffective:

Using them to hold and display sensitive information (such as passwords, credit card numbers, etc.) and sticking that note somewhere prominent where prying eyes can see them.

Using too many of them...like sticky notes all over your computer monitor, refrigerator, desk, etc. When you have a sea of sticky notes everywhere, the important ones become 'invisible.'

Using them for EVERYTHING. Sticky notes should never be your 'main' form of information-holding or note-taking. For the most part, they're used for very quick TO DOs and reminders...and are meant to be discarded fairly quick. Important phone numbers and addresses should be entered into your paper or digital address book. Today's TO DOs should be on a paper or digital TO DO list. Your appointments should be entered into your paper or digital planner/calendar.

Using them as permanent labels for file folders. Sticky notes stuck in the center of file folders are not easily seen in a filing cabinet.

Two more important notes:

1. Be careful. The sticky part, on sticky notes, can become unsticky and easily lost.

2. The second you place something larger on top of them, they become cleverly hidden. So, be very careful about placing sticky notes on horizontal surfaces where you could inadvertently place something on top of them.
