The last work outside of home job I held in an office was as an administrative assistant in a very busy, three person office {I was one of the three}. The position I held required multi-tasking which is a skill you either have or don’t have, I only learned that when I was to train some other workers at one point, although my boss had told me through the years she had found that the position I held was one you either had the skill for or did not. It is not easy to teach a person to multi-task, I, however, am great at multi-tasking as you can see from my online interactions, business, and multiple blogs in addition to being a mother of three.
When I started this administrative position job we used ACT! software for client renewals, client contact information and daily task lists. I was so confident that I could use Post-it notes as reminders of what to do each day, I love Post-it notes, always have, and my boss laughed at me when she saw my computer monitor at my desk covered with Post-it notes. My boss warned me that I would not be able to hold the amount of information I needed to do or follow up on with merely some Post-it notes. I was certain I could.
As the months passed and eventually years, I found out that Post-it notes rocked but the amount of information and tasks you have to do when working with corporate employee benefits required the ACT software more than I had ever imagined. The Post-it notes stayed for little reminders such as what I wanted for breakfast from the local bagel shop or maybe a message from a phone call, but overall the Post-it notes didn’t work to hold massive amounts of information. This is the time when my love for Post-it notes began and I started buying them any chance I got. Did you know that the cheap, non-brand Post-it type notes are nothing compared to the original? Yes it is true, this is one product I swear by Post-it brand and refuse to buy anything less than Post-it brand.
What’s your Post-it story?
I was not paid anything for this blog post, it’s just when I wrote my review the other day about Post-it brand it reminded me of this story and I just had to share it!

I agree with you. I love Post-its.

I learned my lesson with the cheapies. They just don’t stick. I tried explaining this to my boss when I was ordering for the office. She had to learn when those knock-offs wouldn’t stick as long. 🙂 I loved Post-Its when I was pregnant and working full-time. I would forget EVERYTHING unless I wrote it on a Post-It to remind me. My office was full of Post-Its, but it worked for me!
