And here we have a small yellow canvas waiting to be marked in my black or blue ballpoint pen. Surely it will stand out on my cluttered desk.

In the "user experience" analysis, it also includes a "go ahead and rip me off" negative emotional aspect as to pricing since 3M uses it as a profit-center with no competitors. It could easily be 1/3 the cost and still offer superb margins. Whatever the market can bear writ large. Caveat emptor and all that free-enterprise stuff ... It is a fabulous product in every way.

Great for any consultant running any sort of collaborative exercise. Just get people to write down their own thoughts or ideas, so that everyone has a voice. Yes, they are potentially a waste and nothing digital comes close in my mind, but the world is probably a better place having the Post-it as a tool for designers and consultants alike.

I "installed" them in the office I was working in, much to the chagrin of the office manager. Long story short, it gave me a deep appreciation for the adhesive used on post-it notes--the spray adhesive I was using in my DIY versions was a sticky mess.

It is a handy coincidence that the post-it originated in the most pixelated era of the last century, and it offers great oppurtunities for your very own 80's shrine. Hey, I used these for wallpaper in my room. I get treated to the occasional Post-It falling down though, you wouldn't believe how badly they stick to anything that isn't perfectly flat.

They're so great for recording small portions of short-term information (like shopping lists) rather than using a whole sheat of paper. But they seem to support the creation of both visual and mental clutter. I have a love/hate relationship with these little yellow scraps.
