Well, first of all, I don't think anybody can do that. So the point is, like, a Post-it note is very valuable. If I have a file then and I want to make a note for the file or something, I might take a Post-it note and put a sticker on it. Or if I want to tell somebody what to do with this, you know, file this in file A, and I put it in my outbox. Those are great things for Post-it notes. But when, when I walk into an office and see Post-it notes, I had a person that worked for me, it was hysterical. She had Post-it notes all over the place and I finally got her away from them. So it's, you know, they're not organized. And then people are looking for things and they, they say, well, I know what my unorganization is. And they have piles of files, you know, well, but if I have them there, I won't forget them. However, if you have in your planner, work on file X, you don't need to see it because it's, it's documented. So it keeps you clutter-free, which really helps you with focus.
