Hello Bo Christensen,
I like the ideas for your forthcoming book. Is there any way I might
contribute or be helpful?

We (Bo Christensen, Kim Halskov and Clemens Klokmose) are trying to rectify this by writing an edited book volume tentatively entitled ‘Sticky Creativity’ where we cover the psychology, design, and technology perspectives on sticky notes in 10 chapters (the book is to appear in 2019 on Elsevier/Academic Press).

If you were practicing design in the 1970s before the advent of the Post-It, what design practices were you doing that today is done with sticky notes? The invention of the Sticky note is not likely to be the initiation of all the design practices now done with sticky notes – so what similar approaches was carried out before, can you provide examples, and what did you call these?

> 5) The properties of the physical Post-It note is hard to digitally imitate. Do you have stories of technological/software attempts to mimick Post-It notes: when was this, who did it, and what was the result/learning outcomes? In our book we have three chapters covering technological attempts to digitally infuse the Post-It note, but we would love to hear of more examples.

If your story or parts of it enters into the book, then we will of course credit you, so please include your title, full name, and affiliation if you have a story to share. If you know of any professional designer or design researcher with interesting Post-It note stories to share, I would really appreciate it if you could forward this email to them!
