the old guy got me addicted to these. at the outset, one would think these colorful little squared help with tidiness and organization. the old guy gifted them to me with that intent...the scrap-paper note taking method was bothersome to him. he said it look disorganized and he was afraid i'd lose something important. well, now that i am addicted (and i have some qualms about using this less ecologically sound medium) my desk and workspace is just as mess as before. in fact, it might even look messier because the clutter now posseses an awful flourescent color sceme. i just wanted to give him, and anyone else out there, some visual imagery of my workspace...and to let him know that my messiness lives on...even with post-its.
