Sticky Notes vs Post-it

I had fun this week preparing for a presentation I was slated to give to a peer group. I had the opportunity to utilize a new app on my iPad; .

Sticky Notes

  When preparing for a presentation, I'm usually just brainstorming or puking out ideas on to a tablet. Getting into character requires effort, albeit little at that.

If that wasn't old school enough, I would then begin placing them in chronological order, on my upright freezer door. The cool thing about that (no pun intended) was that I could stand in front of the freezer and practice my speech, while looking at my notes at eye level. The one drawback to that was, I once took them all down and put them on a sheet of paper, as sort of a cheat sheet, and somehow during one presentation, I blurted out," take hamburger out to thaw at 2:00. Dang those to do lists.
By leveraging technology, I can now just prop my iPad up in front of me and glance at the different color "virtual" post its, and it's like my very own TelePrompter.
