Back in the day, I had the spurious idea of releasing a set of Post-it notes with "ideas" and "concepts" already scribbled on them. Like, "Ready-made Post-its", or "Post-its-to-Go".

Buy a pack, spread them randomly on your whiteboard, take a picture, post it (ho ho) on Instagram, and hey presto: you're giving the impression of being hard at work on something.

I should have done that. In different colours, of course.

A screenshot of a paragraph from an article on, brace yourselves, "Design Thinking": "Key to design thinking's spread was its replicable aesthetic, represented by the Post-it note: a humble square that anyone can use in infinite ways. Not too precious, not too permanent, the ubiquitous Post-it promises a fast-moving, cooperative, egalitarian process for getting things done. When Cornforth arrived at IDEO for a workshop, "it was "Post-its everywhere, prototypes everywhere", she says. "What I really liked was that they offered a framework for collaboration and creation."
