Keep Me Away from Stationery

It's possible I have a small addiction to office supplies. Notebooks count as office supplies, right? But it's not limited to notebooks. If it's paper or pen related in some way, I'm all in.

A while back, I spotted some Post-it notes that looked like planets while I was on Etsy. As tempted as I was, they were ridiculously expensive and I passed. I saw them a while later on Temu, but I'd heard horror stories about them, so hard pass.

I'd forgotten about them until Amazon put them in a recommended for you window. Oh, yes, please! The price for a set of six was what the Etsy seller was charging for two! And they were on subscribe and save, which meant they 100% were going to be ordered.

And wouldn't you know it? That's the subscribe and save delivery that was delayed a day. They finally came, though. Here are my planets/moon sticky notes:

Earth, Mercury, Pluto, Mars, and two different versions of the moon.

This wasn't the only recommendation Amazon had for me that day. These are a different sticky product. They showed them being used as tabs, which would totally work in my notebooks because I could tab each individual book/story with a different color. I've got separate notebooks for each series, but the Paladin League is mixed up as I got ideas for later books and wrote them down.

I also have one notebook in my tote bag, so ideas for multiple series are completely mixed up in there.

But my other plan is to use these tiny, mostly round notes to call attention to important notes in my notebooks or in my planner.


The left side of the circle is cut off so they're not completely round, but I'm intrigued by the possibilities with these notes. I do have stickies that are completely round, but they're also much bigger than these. Too small for a long note, too big for a quick hit. I haven't used them yet and there are mixed reviews about the adhesive, so I have my fingers crossed that I like them.
