As a three inch by three inch sheet of paper, the value of sticky notes are easy to overlook. It’s not just unique due to its adhesive strip on the back, but its proof of how something small can be significant. Whether you have used sticky notes in the past or continue to be an avid user of them, sticky notes can influence many aspects of our daily lives.
When we scan the stationery aisle of stores, our eyes can notice the recognizable bold, neon packs of the brand, Post-It. Regardless, there’s a lot of variety of colors, shapes, and sizes that you can come across. For example, the flag and tab-like sticky notes can be used to mark a page in a book. Including fancy legal documents that tell you to “sign here.” Sticky notes are a good way of writing reminders and organizing your thoughts or information. They serve different purposes, but remain special for each individual.
The value of sticky notes has extended more than its practical use. Acts of kindness can come out of sticky notes. Writing a nice note for friends or family, and even someone random. In schools, offices, subway stations, and more, sticky notes filled the walls with different messages. Motivational. Positive. Sticky notes make this happen, a small item becoming a larger project with purpose.
The value of sticky notes, whether of practical use or an act of kindness, deserves more appreciation. While sticky notes can just be a typical stationery item, it should be seen for its endless possibilities.

Your post explained the use for sticky notes really well, especially outside of their practical use. Being able to write/draw something and stick it anywhere for someone (or yourself) to see is really helpful and has so many different uses. Awesome appreciation post for sticky notes!
