Have you ever thought that post-its could be used in many other ways than simply referring someone's call to your boss? These cheerfully colored sticky notes are great for a lot of things. Read on to start becoming a post-it creative!
Steps
Step 1. Get a pad or two of sticky notes, also known as "Post-It" notes
Step 2. Write notes on it
The most obvious and intrinsic use of a note is to write messages on it. Detach it from the notepad and stick it on folders, chairs, computer screens, etc., wherever the person reading the message can find it. Put them on the door to write your return time or to say where you are going if you pop out. It is useful in the office, in the back when the neighbors come looking for you or in the shop when you are out for lunch. Of course, don't put it on your front door if you've already had security concerns.
Step 3. Use them to score a point
Are you reading a long textbook and want to remember where that important point is? Attach a post-it note.
Step 4. Summarize all the things to do at work or in studies
It can be helpful to assign a color to the various tasks and put your notes in an order that helps you remember all the things to do.
Step 5. Use them as temporary elements of drawings or projects, to carry around
Post-its can be really useful for anyone working on paper projects or story boards that need to be transported, such as theater choreographers, writers, artists, graphic designers, advertisers, etc. They are also perfect for mind maps when studying or for brainstorming.

Step 7. Use post-its for motivational purposes
If you need to motivate yourself to learn or change something, sticky notes can become your best friend. Think of things like:
- Stop smoking, eating sweets or other habits. Post colorful notes around your home or office to remind you to avoid those damn cigarettes!
- Learn a new language. Put new words on the most important items in your home or office. For example, if you are learning French, you could stick a piece of paper that says "miroir" on your mirror or one with a "chaise" on your chair. By seeing these notes over and over as you move around the house, you will quickly learn new words.

At school, it's fun to play the "sticky note game do me something". Write "…. -mi" (eg kick me, laugh at me, give me some donkey) on a sticky note and stick it on someone. When he finds it, tell him to stick it on someone else. After that that other person will attach it to another person again and so on.
