Hmn...sticky notes

I've found a use for the post-it note function in my outlook program.
I now have about twenty idea notes for one of the several story ideas in my head.
It even has different color 'notes', and different ways to set up the screen where you can call the notes up.
And all without covering my home desk (or other surfaces for that matter) with little colored squares of (easy to lose) paper.
Which means less fuss, less stuff to travel with me in the bag, and easy organization. Next step is to see if I can access them with the word processor program so that I don't have to open my email when the laptop isn't connected to the net (Because those error messages when it tries to download new email from a connection that isn't there is downright annoying, thank you).
But, most important; I Gots Notes! Down In A Spot! Where I Can And Will Get To Them Easily.
Which means I will work more on that type of stuff rather than just drooling and staring at the pretty screen in between RP slumps. Now if only I could get re-attached to my art programs the same way, I'll really be rolling. ^^
By the way; does anyone else notice any 'comfort quirks' about their work? I mean like needing to sit in a certain chair, or using only certain supplies, or being comfortable enough to concentrate in specific ways before you can work?

Weird, huh?
