I work at IDEO, where I've written at least 10,000 Post-Its. Especially before COVID, we would use them all day, for weeks at a time.
I guess IDEOers all use Post-Its the "wrong" way according to this article. Yet somehow we manage to stick them to boards and move them around without issue... The only problem is when new hires try to stick Post-Its to whiteboards—don't do that!
If you want to peel the Post-It from the side rather than the bottom, go for it, but there is no reason to write on the Post-It sideways and stick it with the adhesive going vertically. When that happens accidentally in a brainstorm, people literally apologize.

- turnsout 4y agoGenerally you write the Post-It, then peel it. So, writing with the adhesive on top, you could peel it from the side. But the article describes writing the note 90° rotated which is just odd. Edit: I was wrong—I see now the article is NOT implying that you write the note 90° rotated. But I agree with others that the photos are not communicating this well.
