Sick of seeing post it notes all over your desk?

There is free software called “Stickies” which is an electronic note that sits on your pc desktop.

Stickies will not mess with your system files, it stores information in a single text-based ini file.

I’ve been using stickies for the past few months and it’s a great organising tool.
