Post-its are the most common item on my corkboard (yes, that's my corkboard/desk) followed by photos, newspaper cut-outs, buiness cards and artwork from my kids.
Honestly, I don't think I'm managing my Post-its well. just the other day I threw away about 40 post-its that had been all over my desktop (actual) w/out even looking at them. On the one hand, I was greatly relived to not have to read them and be reminded of things I probably didn't do. On the other hand, maybe there were some important "stuff" on them.
Does going electronic solve the problem? What if I just put all my thoughts, to do's, and ideas in a file on my computer? I'm a big fan of Coppernic desktop. It searches through my 50,784 emails and 48,490 files (complete coincidence that these numbers are so close) in a split second so I never have to remember where a file or email is stored. But, I need know a 'word' in the thing I'm looking for. I.e., something in the file or email that Coppernic will match.
A file may not cut it for me because I'm afraid I would never open it or search for it if I can't remember what's in it.
What do you do? Have you found an electronic solution to Post-It Proliferation?
