Post-it notes
-
I can't find any paper notes anymore. All I use for notes is OneNote. Works great for me.

I love OneNote and use it all the time as well. I use it for my more detailed note taking that will be relevant for an indefinite amount of time. Quick notes and ideas get put to paper.

I keep waiting for someone to come up with a solution that keeps track of my thoughts for me cos by the time I get round to writing them down the first bit has gone missing. I also have most of my better ideas stood at a urinal, must be something to do with relaxing and clearing blockages. My missus bought our 5 year old a couple of pads of post-it notes a month or two back. Whole bloody house is plastered in them now. I've woken up with new ones stuck to me before now.

My wife bought my son (5 years old) a hole punch and paper. You can only imagine what his bedroom looks like. If I gave the boy post-it notes then my house would be yellow. :-D

I am sure glad for this post; I thought I was the only one who did this. If I don't write down what I am working on, I am totally lost the next morning.
you my friend are not alone.

I'm totally lost regardless if I write it down or not. Stress is a terrible, wicked thing.

A friend of mine was called in to see the teacher when she went to pick her son (9) up from school last week. He has broken the school's hole punch. When she asked how he had broken it she was told he was trying to punch a hole in his underwear. I do not know if he was too hot and trying to create extra airflow, or if he had been intending to file them when he got home.

I don't care how much technology I have at my disposal, post-it notes rock. I have more f'n post-it notes on my desk, monitor, workstation, wall, then I can count. If I don't write it down immediately then I will forget it in 2 minutes. What was that? You wanted me to put the updates in last night? Are client is furious and is calling me a dumb ass programmer? I just don't have the time to use "to-do" type software and all that crap...I would love to use that kind of software but pen and paper rocks in so many ways. Thanks for listening. :-D
For small scope things, like stuff I need to add or change in code, it goes in the comment block at the top. For larger things, they're usually web-related, so I just keep the tab open in FF when I close it, and when I restart it, it's there. Got about 82 tabs open at the moment, and a second window for my auxiliary screen that has a good 13. :-O

I'm also glad for this post - makes me see that I'm not insane (mostly). :-D I've tried every organizer app under the sun, but always go back to my trusty pencil and paper. Paperless office - pshaw!

My Colleague uses 80 column punch cards. They fit well in a shirt pocket, hold a lot more information than a typical post-it and don't get gummy. He snagged a couple of boxes some years back. They also make great conversation with the younger kids at work.

what do you stick on the post-it note when you need to
The 3M post-it "super sticky label pad" is all-super-sticky *EXCEPT* for about 1/4" of non-sticky - there is a dashed-bar to indicate the edge with the non-sticky, since of course that's the edge you use to peel-off such a label. I have found these will reliably stick to the post-it-note, although indeed sticking merely a post-it-note onto a post-it-note does not seem to stick very well, the "super sticky label pad" is a big escalation in stickiness.
