Ok. Tell us all. Over 60 on THIS site? We are a small group. Don't expect anyone/moderator to understand.


Purpose? Why do you use them?

WHERE do you post em? Problems with the Where? (On skin? driver steering wheel? , sometimes they don't stick,,,,,,,.) What do you do then?

WHO is responsible for the remembrance, YOU or the Spouse?


How often?
How often? --Ooops, I see I have already posted that.

Is the note so small sometimes that you have to use a full sheet of paper,,,,increase the magic marker font size, so you can SEE it?

Ok, you have no idea what I am talking about. I get it. You are all my grandkid's age?

I'm on the good side of 60 and I have six post-its stuck in front of my keyboard right now. Can't remember everything. And no, none of them are passwords or usernames. That's something for guys on the other side of 60!

Meh. Post-it notes come unstuck. And if you think guys on the shady side of 60 are rare on this site, try being a GAL on the shady side of 60!

However, PapaLew & I work very well together on memory/location issues. I blank out on nouns, and he supplies them for me in conversations. He will search for something for a half an hour then ask me, and I'll walk right to where it is sitting, where he has been looking for the past half hour...


We make a great team. :)

I didn't realizing using post it notes was a young man's game. Feeling pretty good about the mid 30's now, thanks for the pick me up.

Not 60 yet, but I can see it from here - if I wear my glasses. Now where did I put them? Oh, yeah, on top of my head.

I don't use post-it notes. I used to use them when I worked.

If I forget something I just remember it the next time. Being retired means never having to do anything RIGHT AWAY.

Okay, the little bitty ones - they make great markers for multi-page documents to denote the pages where signatures are required.

Now I have to go chase those damn kids out of my yard.

I use several of the original post it notes (a blank one side of previously used paper, cut to post it note size with a paper cutter). Stab them on a wire nail type holder after use or toss in my trash can. Over sixty and still thrifty.

I'm not over 60, so the only thing I'll add to this thread, is if you're using just the regular post it notes, you're doing it wrong. Super sticky post it notes, is definitely the way to go.
