How to use different types of post-it notes

When we are tidying up our lives, we have to spread out and put all the problems in front of us. So it is the same when working. We need to list all the details of the work, regardless of size, one by one, classify them, and then execute them.

Only when the work has become a flat one by one specific items, we can truly achieve effective management and effective tracking.

At the execution level, we need retention tools just like finishing, to improve our work efficiency, and some tools to assist and consolidate. For example, sticky notes are small items that help us improve work efficiency, but are low-cost but extremely valuable.

Post-it notes are very convenient, but many of our friends are useless. They haven't fully developed their original value.

To use sticky notes, we also have to categorize them first: distinguish them by shape and its degree of adhesion. They can be divided into record type large pieces, mark type long bars and label types.

Large piece and long sticky notes, no matter which they are, their viscosity is relatively low, so they are not suitable for long-term pasting, and short-term task reminders are more suitable.

Because of the large area of the large-sized post-it note, you can completely record the work list or message and paste it on the workbench or computer screen to remind yourself of the progress of the work. It can be removed after the related work is completed. Of course, because it has a relatively large area, it is very conspicuous even if it is dropped, so it is also possible to paste it on a hierarchical shelf similar to a file to mark the classification of temporary files.

Long sticky notes are more suitable for marking documents, such as distinguishing documents combined in a stack. Put a sticker on the first page of each document so that we can quickly distinguish them even if they overlap.

Of course, we can also use the difference in color or shape to classify and label the documents under review: sentence adjustments, typos, or even the place to remind the next node after a pause. It can be indicated with such a label. With such a reminder, our work can become more effective and convenient without having to repeat the work every time.

Moreover, regardless of whether it is a large or long sticky note, this type of sticker is weak in stickiness and can be torn off at any time without damaging the pasted file or desktop surface.

Label-type sticky notes, relatively speaking, are less convenient because they have higher viscosity and are more like being produced for long-term marking. In order to keep it longer, there will be more care in the design. For example, there will be a design similar to a protective sticker writing page such as a matte layer.

Then such a sticker, let's use it as a mid-to-long-term label, use it to locate, for example, the working partition of a file storage rack, or to label an archived file with the product name.

In this way, when we mark the medium and long-term folders, we don't have to worry about whether to mark with a marker, because after marking the folder with a marker, it can't be changed anymore, and the folder can't be used as a waste.
