I don't find that the Post-It Notes distract me at all, and I don't have to keep a notebook around to clutter my desk. For me, with notebooks sometimes it's out of sight, out of mind. Once you start using the system you hardly notice these things at all until you need them. I do keep an additional notebook under my desk for calculation, or just trying to visualize an algorithm. Notebooks should generally be reserved for bigger and longer thinking, where you can also append the Post-It Notes to particular pages if you so require.
