At work I use two memo pads with "to-dos" or "action items" along with sticky notes all over my desk with various reminders and more action items. Hopefully by next year I can also have use these sticky notes developed by a British company that uses "intelligent" paper embedded with a programmable built-in alarm clock that can flash or beep.

The Ixp-Note, 1mm thick, uses thermo-chromic ink – like that used on batteries to display the charge level – to show a digital clock readout on paper.

Its inventor, Lyndsay Williams, 49, of Girton Labs, said: “They’re ideal for putting around the house with reminders such as ‘feed the cat’, or ‘take your pills’.” She hopes the notes will be on sale next year at £10 for a pack of ten.

Nerds say what? What. Office managers everywhere say "Ah, hell no. Stick to your Staples sticky notes."
