Other posters have already demolished the original post so I will refrain from commenting on it directly, but I will say the following:
The main value I get from paper sticky notes is that I stick them to my monitor, and they become a blatant physical reminder to attend whatever is written on the note. And if you ignore things for too long you eventually start losing screen real estate.
Digital sticky notes are useless - a half-baked imitation of both paper notes and real issue tracking systems.
- Gigachad 4y agoI think digital sticky notes have a use but it isn’t for reminders. At work we use Miro and the sticky notes for group planning. It’s very effective to have everyone sticking ideas in to a board and being able to arrange them. But I agree with everything you said. I moved away from check boxes in a notes app where everything had its own page and now I use a physical note book where everything is time sequential rather than sorted in to topics. Now I never forget anything as it’s all on one page sitting on my desk always.
- afont 4y agoThanks for taking the time to write this out waste_monk. I also use physical notes because theyre in the physical and cant avoid them. We're looking to give users a tool that anchors them to a goal rather than simply saying "lets do this now and hope it leads me in the right direction."
