Ever since college, Post-It notes have been a must have in my arsenal of tools to stay organized. I could easily write myself a reminder and stick it to my monitor, mark important chapters for easy reference, and my favorite – write a quick love note to my husband and stick it to the door before he leaves for work.
Recently, I discovered Sheer Color Post-It notes which has literally taken my reading experience to the next level. My friend and I share marketing books with each other all the time but when I come across an important quote, I’m tempted to highlight it but can’t because it’s not my book. Now with sheer color post-it notes, I can highlight, circle, and make notes without getting reprimanded.
My dependence on these sticky square pads isn’t rare. In fact, if you run a Google search on “how to use Post-It notes,” you’ll receive thousands of results including Leon Ho’s list of Twenty Uses for a Post-It Note.
What I love most about Post-It notes is that they can be used for other activities besides reminders, planning, and brainstorming. To prove my point, you can check out the entries in the “Post-it® Notes: One Million Uses & Counting…” contest on YouTube.
Here’s my favorite entry:

I’m a big post it note fan as well. I’ve never used the sheer ones though. Now I have something new to look for at the office supplies store

I get stressed out if there are less than four full packs of post-its on my desk. Somehow, I feel my productivity suffers when I don’t have copious amounts of them floating around.
Anyone see the list of office pranks where they covered an entire car in post-it notes? http://oddee.com/item_95415.aspx

I wish post it notes had the sticky stuff on two sides. One side is just annoying.

Very awesome. I had NO idea there were sheer post-it notes.
One of my fave uses, though, completely defeats their purpose. A few friends and I post-it noted a ‘friend’s’ car. The entire thing. It was incredible. And he was really angry, but it was TOTALLY worth it.
