Install Some Art
Image Source
You are busy. The world is busy. Why not make the whole thing in to a piece of easily removable installation art? Leave a note asking people to write what they have to get done on a note and you immediately have something profound and telling about the human condition. Eh voila!

Keep It Small?

You may, on the other hand, prefer to keep your art small scale! This adept and skilful use of the post-it note is a perfect reminder of the suffering that fruit goes through on its journey to our tables. A great statement about the plight of oranges in a cruel and uncaring world.
Make a Lamp
Image SourceSomething a little more down to earth, next! Do you have a sad and dusty old lamp shade that is one trip to Ikea away from the bin? Then why not turn it in to a post-it lamp. It takes little time and the results can be amazing! Be sure to use low energy bulbs or you may end up with a house fire! Or give it as a make-up present to those neighbors you recently argued with and you still haven't quite forgiven in the full knowledge that they aren't quite as energy efficient as you!
Make Some Puppets

There are times in a busy office that your colleagues will need cheering up. A pair of scissors, a pen and some of that non sticky sticky stuff, together with as many types of post-it as you can find will ensure tons of fun for everyone. You could even take some home for the kids to play with if you think they will stoop to such childish behavior.
Make Some Origami Shapes

If you want to attempt something more artistic and complex, then here is a great suggestion! Post-its can be adapted to anything, virtually and the ancient art of origami is no exception. Best not to try this if you have little patience and an obsession to succeed in seconds. However, if you are of placid nature, these can be attempted without wrecking the house in frustration once you have wasted your one hundredth post-it.

You could even make an origami thingy for every single day you have worked in a place (or months if days are too many). Then, once you are done, spread your creations around the office and encourage your colleagues to collect them up in order. It could be a whole new different type of hide and seek. Your initiative will most probably be rewarded!
Redecorate your friend's place!

You know that trusting friend of yours who gave you the key to her place while she was away, to feed the cat and make sure that everything is OK? Why not thrill and delight her on your return by giving her place a post-it makeover. She will never look at you in the same way again, promise! Never!
You can even do it properly if you so wish!

Remodel your Hotel
Image Source
If you travel abroad for your holiday and find yourself at a loose end one afternoon, then why not give the Hotel in which you are staying a post-it makeover. It will attract the attention of holidaymakers and owners alike. Well, OK, grudgingly, these aren't real post-its. Well spotted. They are in fact the giant-size economy post-its that have just come on the market for those extra large employees in an organization.
Make a Collage
Image Source
If you have an artistic bent you could take post-its of many colors and create a fantastic collage out of them. When those friends of yours who bore you silly come round they will spend all their time gawping at your collage, so leaving you free to finish off the last few chapters of that book you've been reading.
Give Your Office That "Minimal" Look
Image Source
Offices can be drab and boring places in which to work. Prove to your employer that you are more than just a jobs worth by taking time out (possibly a whole afternoon) to recreate your office for the new millennia. After they have realized and recognized the genius at work they will cease their incessant moaning. You may even never hear the word "slacker" again.

Variations on a theme are always a hoot around the office!
Follow up on you success!

As your boss so obviously appreciated the attempt you made to cheer up the workplace, why not sneak out at lunch time and give his car a similar treatment. Imagine the look on his face when he leaves the office after another blisteringly hard day and see what you have done for him! Employee of the month must surely beckon!
Tell him those three little words…
Image Source
You really fancy a guy at the office. You may be a little shy and retiring so a post-it note doesn't just have to be for those little reminders in the office. You may wish to express your deep and undying devotion to him without having to utter those words yourself. Just try and remember to put it in an obvious place so that he will know it is from you. Like your forehead. Then look deeply in to his eyes and try not to slobber. Job done.
Writ Large even?

..Or give the louse an ultimatum!

Some guys spend too much time on the internet and there are some specific sites that are, seemingly, made in order to wreck relationships. Whether it is World of Warcraft, Stumbleupon, Flickr or Triond, let him know how you feel and you will find that he will chose you over the Internet every single time. Every. Single. Time.
Dream in Color

An office worker's dream can involve all sorts of things, but perhaps nightmare's might look like this? Things to do, things to do, so many things to do!
Make Some Office Pets

Some elastic bands, a few felt tips, a pair of scissors and you have the ideal office pet, especially if it is close to Easter. Then your colleagues can pop little chocolate eggs in to the nest you have created, to thank you for all those lovely new uses for post-its you have shown them over the years!
