I need to try it!

I know it’s not as effective but what about a digital version that is sync with your other devices? I work with 3 different computers at different places.., plus my phone.

I thought about doing something similar using Milanote for example or another whiteboard app.

What do you think?

Great question!

It's worth a try, the one thing I'm not sure how to replicate is the visual "done" container.

I've tried a lot of apps, and I still use a few:

- Apple Reminders for recurring reminders

- Things for a longer term lists

My struggle is my propensity to get distracted when accessing those apps, or get overwhelmed by the volume of upcoming tasks.

The nice thing with the sticky notes is that I only write out tomorrow's notes. There are a few on my board that have stuck around for days, but nothing like the overwhelm I felt when going into my to-do list app and seeing 50+ things I should do.

One suggestion I'd have is to try out putting up sticky notes at each of the computers. Put up the notes related to the type of work you do at that location.
