The Big Yellow Sticky Secret

Don The Idea Guy December 31, 2015

bys12312015Hopefully you’ve been following along, but I just published my 365th consecutive post on my side project site BigYellowSticky.com. Before I pull a muscle patting myself on the back, I just wanted to say it was a lot of fun and quite an experience producing a daily piece of art and offering it up to the world. But the big secret (as revealed in the final sticky note) is that every single 3″ x 3″ Sharpie®-scrawled note has been a piece of advice to myself.

Little reminders to practice what I preach. Small nudges to focus on topics that were at the top of my mind. Itty-bitty bullet points from lessons learned via mistakes I didn’t want to make twice.

I’ve been writing every single one of these 365 Big Yellow Sticky notes to myself in 2015 (I hope you’ve gotten some helpful advice from them, too!), but next year — 2016 — is all about YOU.

I’ll be continuing my daily yellow sticky posts for the 366 days of 2016 (it’s a leap year!) and I hope you’ll be along for the ride.

Each month I’ll be choosing topics and themes for us to focus on in order to help you get the most out of 2016 and make it your best year ever. All with help from the humble yellow sticky note.

Won’t you share the journey with me?

The Ugly Back

Everyone goes to the museum to admire the pretty fronts of artistic tapestries, but the ugly backs face the wall and are rarely on display. My wife decided she wanted to host a big family Thanksgiving this year. While we were in the process of cleaning up the house and putting our (my) clutter. Hapy […]

My Three Words for 2022

Several years ago I started choosing an annual trio of words to help me stay on track with my goals, focus my actions, and guide my decision making. I copied the practice from Chris Brogan and you can click on that link in his name to visit Chris’ page to read about how he chooses […]

Want hot ideas? Let the tap run.

I’ve written in the past about how I come up with some many good ideas (spoiler alert: it’s because I also come up with so many bad ideas). I’ve also shared how important it is to throw away the first dozen or so ideas you come up with because they’re not going to be especially […]
