I can't bring myself to put pen to paper and, therefore, I use post-it
notes too.
For you youngsters, there was a time when post its weren't yet born so BP
(before post-its) I used to just put a bookmark at that page, or a paper
clip and a piece of scrap paper saying whatever I wanted to say. I think
the guy who came up with the idea should be immortalized in bronze.
