These are probably one of the handiest tools I use in the office. I have several reference books, directories, etc. that I need often. It's just so nice and neat to use a flag to identify a place I use often and can just flip to that area instead of looking for it in the index or the page number. Very handy. I also use them when editing so that it's obvious where I have marked a correction or addition or simple change.
I work in Insurance and these flags are awesome to mark where you need signed or to tell the customer important information and I love to write on the flags to leave myself explanations!!!!
I'm a new teacher and I use these and the 1/2 in. flags for organizing lesson plans and class rosters every day. I don't know how I would have gotten through my first year of teaching without them!
This particular post-it flag size is one I use on a multitude of tasks. My desk is full of files that I mark with them immediatly, and then move on to the next. However, I also use these not just on folders, but on my task board so that I will remember other things, that if I don't write a note on, I will forget! Yes, truly, I WILL FORGET! I suggest, you begin to look for other than desk ideas, they are great in the kitchen for reminders of what to put on your list for the grocery store and so much more. I have been using these ever since they came out and will continue forever good luck and you will see what I mean!!!
These work great for me when I am marking areas in my code book I use for work. There are some references that I don't use often, and take a long time to locate in the reference - the flags make them easy to find, and having different colors helps me sort them.
