This post is brought to you by Post-it® Brand. All opinions are my own.
I have a busy, cluttered mind that makes me great at writing but horrible at functioning in everyday life. I live on Post-it® Notes and coffee. I kid you not! Coffee keeps me going and Post-it® Notes remind me to do all the important things like feed my guinea pigs…and myself.
In fact, I have this note stuck to the inside of my iPad cover. That way, when I go to feed my imaginary dragons (which, for some reason, I NEVER forget about), I also remember to feed my squealing little guinea pigs up in Jacob’s room!
Speaking of Jacob, it seems like every other day I need to remember to send something back to school with him. In fact, right now he’s working on a reading log to earn a ticket to a theme park. The log must be sent back ON Monday. No earlier, no later. That’s a lot of pressure, remembering to send it back on a specific day. A situation like that calls for a very bright Post-it® Note!
Everywhere you look in my house, you’ll find a Post-it® Note with some reminder. I have them above my coffee pot, on my fridge, next to my computer. I keep them in the bathroom, my bedroom, even in my car. I have small notes, medium notes, and big notes that let me make whole lists:
Don’t just organize your world, do it beautifully with the Post-it Brand World of Color collections
The new Post-it Brand World of Color collections features a beautiful array of colors from nine different cities, including Marrakesh, Rio de Janeiro, Bora Bora, Jaipur, Cape Town, Bali, Marseille, Helsinki, and New York.
Post-it Brand makes a variety of colors, which is important to me. I need notes that stand out. I need to be able to switch up the color.
Sometimes those colors just need to gently remind me that I have things to do. Other times, like with Jacob’s reading log deadline, I need colors to really yell “look here!” Post-it Brand offers colors that do both and everything in between. Now, they even offer colors that take you around the world!
Each collection showcases colors inspired by its respective city. For example, the note on my front door comes from the Rio de Janeiro collection, full of dramatic colors reminiscent of the Brazilian city. Good old New York, New York with its steely skyline reminds me to feed my guinea pigs, while Bali gives me soothing reminders to tackle my to-do list.
Of course, since it’s from Post-it Brand, you know they have some great ideas on the Post-it Brand World of Color collections section of the website! Total eye candy, that page! Check it out and explore all of the collections in detail.
We’re all living in the same crazy-busy world where we need reminders from time to time. Why not make those reminders beautiful so we’ll actually WANT to look at them? I know that bright bit of Brazil hanging on my door definitely makes me feel so much more cheery. Plus, I’m not likely to forget that reading log, now am I?
What about how? How do you use Post-it Brand to bring color into your world and organize your life? Which of the World of Color collections would you love to try out? Tell me in the comments!
excellent post, keep it up
I go through post it notes very quickly. MY kids calls me “”Post it note Momma” since I basically put reminders in their bedrooms, books, folders, etc. As a MOm, I think it is important. You have guinea pigs, I have a very persistent rabbit, lol.
Love post it notes! They saved my life a few times back when I worked full time! I really should get them for my apartment so I can post–don’t forget to pay ALL your bills!
Haha! I use post-it notes. I leave them on the door to remind myself and my boyfriend of various things.
I use Post-Its all the time too. They are great reminders of all those little things we will forget to do throughout the day!
I literally don’t think I could get though life without post it notes. I know that sounds crazy but I use them all the time1
I do the same things with post its!! Its even worse when we travel and I need to remember to pack!
I love post it notes. I don’t think I would make it without them. I have them all around my computer sometimes. For important phone calls or dr.s appts. Gotta love them post it’s.
I really love the different colors of post-it. For sure, you won’t miss a reminder. It’s nice also that some have lines to make it easier to write.
I use sticky notes SO MUCH in my blogging and everyday life! I literally love how easy they are to use!
Post – It has been around for a long long time. With their unique papers and the endless arts we can do at them, I am quite sure they will stay for more years or so. I really love their color collections.
I must say I love the Post its. I am very forgetful and am so thankful for the Post its and their variety of colors of course. Thanks for sharing.
I seriously love post it notes! Especially the ones in really bright, girly colors!!!
Being a retired Legal Assistant/Paralegal my old habits have not changed. My desk is still the same way and I still use post its everywhere, and for everything! 🙂
Haha… I know someone who leaves post it notes around the house for flatmates! Some of them are quite funny but they are really handy to use 🙂
My life wouldn’t be a mess with out post-it. I love how these have lines though omg I have to look for them next time I’m at the store.
Something about a tangible reminder is still more effective than anything else. We definitely use them for ideas and lists 🙂
I always feel better when I have written things down and I have a visual reminder. I feel even better tossing them away!
I love post it notes. Sometimes I’m in a bright note kind of mood, sometimes a pastel one. I use them to leave notes to other people or to myself in my planner.
That’s so cool- I had no idea their colours came from that type of inspiration. Neat.
I use Post Its all the time too. I doodle a quick love note to my hubby, for him to wake up to. I’ll write reminders and stick them to our front door so he doesn’t forget something while heading out to work, I stick notes in my son’s lunch bag and I use them all over my mirror in the bathroom. We’ve got a huge one so I will write something I’m thankful for every day and I’ve framed the mirror with positive thoughts about my life….helps combat the winter blues, I should think! 😛
I take them all down as the mirror fills and put them in a mason jar. One for each year.
These new Spring colors are so pretty and I need to get some for work and home. I take all my messages on these notes and stick them in places to help me remember all the stuff I have to do!
Love post it notes! Everyone in our family has a color assigned to them so they know which notes/cores/etc. are assigned to them. Loving the spring colors!
That is SO smart! I should assign my son a color and leave him notes! Thanks for the inspiration!
Kind of sticky note obsessed here! I LOVE the different color collections!
Same here. I have sticky notes going for just about everything right now! LOL.
Post it notes are so quirky and functional!!!!
