Who knew a little yellow square could be SO resourceful?<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh what an invaluable joy those little \u2018sticky notes\u2019 are for day planner organization and productivity! <\/span><\/p>\n

So of course, we couldn\u2019t resist diversifying their use to suit the electronic form, which we hope you\u2019ll enjoy, just as much as the original. <\/span><\/p>\n

Post-It (Note)<\/b> in the \u201cDaily-WS\u201d Tab \u2013 And boom, your annotations, observations, and jotted thoughts are always there when you need them most. One of the best features of iStratus Pro is that you also have the option to add your own signature, date, and\/or converting Post-Its to PDF. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hallelujah! No more forgetting or \u201cGhosting\u201d out little yellow squares. Those essential reminders or motivators are set and can be effortlessly exported or forwarded at the drop of a hat. Akin to a handy little pocket, you can simply drop biz into them wherever you go. <\/span><\/p>\n

Why The \u201cSticky Note\u201d Idea Works <\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve mentioned it before; distractions are a major inhibitor of our ability to organize ourselves in our modern, notification-obsessed working world. The iStratus \u201cSticky Note\u201d idea is your workspace best friend created to help you work faster and remain attentive towards the task at hand. <\/span><\/p>\n

You may have once been bestowed the \u201cWorld\u2019s Best Multi-Tasker\u201d Award in your home or office, however, in life\u2019s experience, no one is<\/span> truly <\/i><\/b>flawless at multi-tasking. <\/span><\/p>\n

When you think about it, this concept is really not an actual thing. What we\u2019re really doing is constantly switching our minds from one task to the next. Every time you take a coffee break or tidy the kitchen (which you can\u2019t stand looking at any longer because the kids left it like a bombsite) you\u2019re forcing your brain to change gears.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your brain cognitively resets this new information \u2013 and hello there, sluggish, brain drain that requires a reboot of its operating system.<\/span><\/p>\n

Multiple University studies have concluded that you\u2019re dropping the ball on at least 40 percent of your productivity by rapidly interchanging tasks. <\/span><\/p>\n

Following distractions, it requires approximately 23 minutes to recoup the same level of in-depth concentration you had prior to dealing with that chocolate milk explosion in the kitchen. <\/span><\/p>\n

In a world where productivity software reigns supreme, we realize, our attempt to digitize the sticky note, is a hard sell against the more popular original paper square. <\/span><\/p>\n

Going From \u201cBlah\u201d To \u201cHow Did I Ever Survive Without This?!\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s not news, that what is deemed \u2018normal\u2019 now was initially difficult to adapt to, simply because \u201cwe\u2019ve always done it this other way.\u201d This something we say far too often. Electronic sticky notes are a classic example. It\u2019s really not so different from the initial Post-It Note design idea, so \u201cwhy not just stick with the paper ones?\u201d (No pun intended). <\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re here to say, with some adjustment the process, will eventually go from \u201cBlah\u201d to \u201cWow. How did I EVER survive with this tool before now?!\u201d Give it a shot \u2013 change is good from 1977.<\/span><\/p>\n

They Do What? <\/span><\/h2>\n

Just think: When you\u2019ve plastered a wall or whiteboard with sticky notes for productivity and development, the only way to record detail is with a photograph, which often goes nowhere in the abyss of your phone. iStratus already has your sticky notes covered:<\/span><\/p>\n
