Sticky Notes I Never Hope to See!

Yellow stickies discouraging teamwork, idea sharing, brainstorming, and creativity.

By Chris Dunmire, CoachingYourCreativity.com

When used thoughtfully, yellow sticky notes (like 3M's Post-Its ®) make wonderful bookmarks and helpful jots to co-workers sorting through your pile-o-stuff at the office. They also make quick 'n' easy reminders that conveniently hang on monitors, doors, desks, and wherever else a sticky sticks.

But watch out! These stickies contain capacity for sinister stirrings: for anyone who can jot and tittle with a ballpoint pen can also launch yellow missiles of magnanimous magnitude aimed at destroying your attempts at terrific teamwork, illuminating idea sharing, brightening brainstorms, and courageous creativity.

May you never be struck with stickies as surreptitious as these...
