Post It Notes

Well, first of all, I don't think anybody can do that. So the point is like a post-it note is very valuable. If I have a file, and I wanna make a note for the file or something.

I might take a post-it note and put a sticker on it. Or if I wanna tell somebody what to do with this, you know, file this and file a, and I put it in my outbox.
Those are great things for post-it notes. But when I walk into an office and see a post-it note. I had a person that worked for me, it was hysterical.
She had post-it notes all over the place, and I finally got her away from them.
They're not organized. And then people are looking for things. And they say,
well, I know what my organization is. And they have piles of files.

If I have them there, I won't forget them. However, if you have in your planner work on file x, you don't need to see it because it's documented. So it keeps you clutter-free. Which really helps you with focus.
