Post it notes are the bane of my life. Ever since their invention and subsequent take off in about 1978, I seem to have been drowning under a veritable ocean of them. Prior to this, I recall having to jot most things down in a diary, whether it was a meeting, reminder, or a specific event.
I did this because I have always had a memory like a sieve, anything that can fall through, will fall through.
Not so now, look at the average desk in an office environment, and you will see all of life spread out before you. Post it notes with "Tommy's birthday" or "wedding anniversary, book table". If you have to write the latter down, it really is a sad day for your long suffering spouse or partner.
For goodness sake, get a diary and write it in there or insert a timely reminder in the calendar of you email client software. It is not beyond the realms of reason to put a reminder on ones' own mobile phone.
Fortunately working from home, the plethora of post it notes no longer exists in my life, but I guess I can sympathize. These handy little notes are so popular because they are quick, easy and convenient, and in a modern office environment can nudge or cajole ones' memory into action.
