Organize Anything with a Wall of Stickies
Sometimes there is just too much on the plate to digest. If you are sick of looking at a computer screen and just want to lay out all your tasks or all the pieces of a presentation or whatever in front of you - create a sticky wall. There are endless flavours of software available to help organize your life and your tasks. It’s nice to try something different for a change, especially if you’re stuck or overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff you have to tackle.
Sticky wall tip: Use different colored stickies for different categories of things you need to organize.
Sure it’s a little 19th Century… but sometimes that’s exactly what you need to get the creative juices flowing sometimes when you have a mountain of things to organize. There are a lot of benefits to creating a wall of stickies:
- It clears off your desk
- You can fit a lot of stickies (pieces of the puzzle) on a wall!
- They are easy to rearrange and organize by priority, date, event, or however
- You can stand back and see the big picture
Sticky wall tip: A wall full of sticky notes shows everyone how much you have to juggle. If someone drops by with nothing to do - assign them a task and make sure they leave with a sticky!
Sticky wall tip: Put “fun stuff” stickies up too so you don’t forget to smell the roses once in awhile.
