It's National Memo Day! A new week is ahead and It's time to get organised and on top of your to-do's.

 

Memo, short for a memorandum, is a document and form of communication, intended to inform a group of people about a particular topic. Memos are used for many different purposes, most often in the workplace. 

 

Do you still use memos/post-it notes for reminders, to-do’s or for messages to your co-workers? Or have you gone digital? How do you use this fun communication tool? Comment below!

Using post-it notes reminds me of school, I would plaster my bedroom in terminology for a variety of subjects and I would hope that the post-its had a positive effect on my learning! 

 

However, I now use post-it notes for reminders. Whether that's a shopping list, a to-do list for work or to remind me to call someone... The rainbow post-its are the best! They inject your space with colour and they also grab your attention.

 

I do like the 'Notes' app on the iPhone for tracking my workouts and for listing things on-the-go... However, a good post-it note and a pen always work a treat.

 

What is your view on this @EmilyCowan and @WillowOlder ? Have you gone digital?

    I use my Outlook email program and digital Sticky Notes on my desktop to keep track of work tasks. So I guess I'm still pretty old-school!

      Hi Jess,

       

      I am still very much all about post it notes and hand written diaries however I do also use the reminder app on my phone to prompt me.

        Hi, @EmilyMockett! 

         

        I hope things are well with you :)

         

        Oh my goodness, me too! I love stationery, I probably purchase too much. However, the concept of post-it notes is great. I use them in meetings to jot down notes and then I keep them in my diary. I also use post-it notes for brainstorming ideas - each new post-it is a new idea; it's a great concept!

         

        Ah yes, apps are always handy if you're an avid user of tech!
