I can’t believe that I have never
written about one of my favorite organization tools. They’re little, but
they’re so cute and so versatile. What are they: mini, sticky tabs and flags! A
Post-it by any other name is just as sweet (no, this is not a commercial). It
usually works just as well, too. Let’s take a look at several different
categories in which we can use sticky flags: bookmarks, textbooks,
homeschooling, home management, Bible, other stuff.
The most obvious (to me) usage for
Post-it flags is as bookmarks. Let’s get a bit more specific, though, then we’ll
add to the list.

Disclaimer: while I love these little guys like nobody’s
business, I did a quick poll of some friends, who graciously added to my list.
Q4U: What are your favorite uses for Post-it flags?
I use them to divide my notebooks and planners up. I love them!
