Brilliant! I have some green post it notes, some blue ones, and some pink ones. One could go crazy and categories once thoughts as well.

Yes! Using lots of colour categories would be amazing! I can imagine I would be reorganising them so they look nicer on the wall 😆 But then other interesting story ideas might pop up! Definitely a way to go crazy! 😆

Great post! I love the idea of carrying a element of an idea around all day and finding things to connect to it… Def going to try being more creative with my post its, rather than just writing to-do things on them!

Oh the to do lists are helpful too 😆

The carrying part of an idea around has been so helpful! If you haven't read it, I highly recommend Tom Hart's How to Say Everything - he talks about this idea. The book is aimed at comics makers but so useful for all visual storytellers

What a great system - and I enjoyed the Post-It note facts… did you ever see the film ‘Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion’, where they pretend to have invented Post-Its 😂

Romy and Michelle has been on my watchlist for ages, but I still haven’t seen it! I’ve heard such good things about it, must get round to it! 🥰

it's been a while but I remember it being very funny - and LOTS about Post-Its!
