I have got a friend here who's quite obsessed with Post it notes.. Take a look and you will understand..Right from his workdesk to the dashboard of this car, it's all plastered with these yellow patches..
How do you use these little sticky things.. I just found out that they were invented by a 3M employee who wanted a bookmark that won't fall off from his choir book but can be removed without spoiling the book itself. Over the last 28 years people have so many uses including fun. Just search youtube for post it notes and you will find amazing videos and art work with these notes.
I guess the most popular is to use it as a reminder.. but when you create a such a mess like my friend does, I wonder how far it helps. I have used it to write my TODO list for the day, I have used it dispose chewing gums (ya...that's one of the best uses).. scribbled notes for people when i dont find them at their desks.. used it to note phone numbers (which anyway i lose with these stick ups)..i found someone interested in using it as origami paper..a friend found the best use in rolling up a joint..
I am sure you have seen it being used up in unexpected places...seems like it is one of the most ingenious inventions man ever made..
Obsession is an understatement for your friend. As though he follows them (rolling eyes)
ReplyDeleteI agree that throwing away used chewing gum is the best use :)
