The Spiral Notebook Effect - Where’s My Desk Wednesday

by Julie on December 26th, 2007

spiral_notebook.jpgIs your desk cluttered with a million little sticky notes with reminders like: pick up bread, don’t forget meeting on Wednesday, call tom at 555-5555 and so on? I used to be a huge fan of the sticky notes. I had them every where and before long, there were so many of them that they lost their effectiveness. I am still a fan of the sticky note, I just use them only for very important reminders that I need right in front of my face.

What do I do with all the other little notes I need to scribble down? I use a powerful tool called the spiral notebook! Yes, I know, it’s been around for quite some time, but the spiral notebook is a great thing. I use it to jot down phone messages, little reminders, thoughts I don’t want to forget, article ideas, books I want to read and more.

To make it a little more organized, you can break up your notebook into sections. That’ll keep you from flipping through all of the pages looking for that one phone number.

My husband keeps a very small notebook in his car. He keeps a running list of things he needs to do. It also helps when I call and ask him if he could bring 10 things home from the store.

A small spiral notebook can help clear your mind and your desk!
