Hello readers, today I have a very interesting note for you, one of those you have been asking me for on social media , and it is about how to Sticky Notes in books and also how to underline them. Actually, I don’t usually mark books, but I do put post-its on them.
How to Use Sticky Notes in Books.
If you want to start using this method to remember some phrases or scenes that you liked in your favorite book, then here are some tips.I use these little flags a lot, in almost all my books, to highlight a phrase that I really liked, a date or simply the appearance of a character.
Remember that if you are going to underline your books, do not do it with a liquid ink pen or similar, as the mark can go through the page. It is advisable to use a fine-tipped pen that dries quickly. You can find this information in detail on the product box.You can also use this method to mark a dialogue where a character is described. Also, I usually put it when someone dies, in order to remember why they died and on what page they turned.
Sometimes I stick a square post-it note on it, and on it I write a summary of the sheet.
I tried various options, and eventually came to the conclusion that I like plastic, multi-colored ones. But only the part that protrudes outward can be colored, and the other half must be transparent. Otherwise, it will be impossible to read what you have marked if you stick the sticker directly onto the text.
This is how it looks in the example of the edition of Gone with the Wind that I read:
I usually use plastic sticker bookmarks because they have a transparent part that doesn’t cover the text on the book.

10 Advantagoues of Sticky Notes in Books
Brainstorming
Brainstorming is a collective discussion of a problem. During the process, each participant offers their own method for solving the problem at hand. At the same time, it is necessary to record all proposals and ideas in writing. It is very convenient to do this with the help of stickers. Using stickers is useful when it is necessary to sort the information received during the discussion.
Mind maps
During the brainstorming process, a certain concept is developed. It can be designed as a mental map or an intellect map. This is visual information that provides “food” for the vector of thinking.
Mind maps are used to consider a new topic, learn foreign words, vocabulary words of the native language. They are also used to make a list of things to do or stages of achieving a goal.
If the mind map is created electronically, stickers will help you instantly write down an idea so that you can later enter it into a computer program.
Foreign words and expressions
For visual learners, this method of memorizing foreign words is very effective. They perceive visual information best, which is ideally provided by stickers. Complex foreign words are written on multi-colored pieces of paper and placed in different places in the apartment or simply on the wall. They can be glued to objects whose names in another language need to be remembered. Different colors can be combined by theme. A picture is even made on the sticker next to the word to strengthen the association.
Notes from books
Some people write down important quotes and favorite thoughts from books on stickers. Then they stick these pieces of paper into a large notebook.
Motivation on stickers
Goals and tasks require constant reminders. Otherwise, they become unclear in the subconscious. A person needs a strict vector, from which it is impossible to deviate if it is necessary to achieve something. Goals can be written on stickers and pasted in places where they are often found: near the computer, on the refrigerator, on the mirror. It would not be superfluous to supplement them with motivational quotes.
Organizer
With the help of stickers, it becomes possible to competently organize the educational process. This is a good organizer that will show important dates, tasks, reminders, events. All information should be located in a visible place, so self-adhesive papers are an ideal tool for organizing activities.

You can’t make notes in books. But no one forbids you to use stickers. That’s why they are used as a small quotation book that can be glued directly to a book or textbook. This is very convenient, because you can immediately see what valuable thoughts and in what book the reader found.
Event planning
If you are planning an event, be it a sports competition, wedding, anniversary, creative competitions, activities or a house party, your head will be full of thoughts: where to start, what not to miss, what are the nuances and details of the event, how to assemble a jury, what to give as prizes?
