I use 3x5 cards to jot notes to myself. I'm sure that this system can work for many people. I see that some people subsequently organize their thoughts, notes by organizing their 3x5 cards.

That's fine for one person. Has anyone had any experience using 3x5 cards in an office system, where the information needs to be transmitted to other people? For example, you might put some info on a 3x5 card, then pass it to a secretary/assistant/collegue/whoever. I'm sure it is fine if they just use it like a scrap paper, but has anyone tried using this with information needed on a longer term basis? (For example, recording people who need to be called back, etc.). Does the small size of the 3x5 card make the card easier to lose/destroy?

I use them in my office all the time. Most of the notes I send to anyone in the office is on a 3x5. Seems to work well for leaving notes to my secretary and to ask my boss for input or to check on various things. No one has mentioned any concerns about them and the lead office assistant has gone out of her way to make certain that I have exactly what I need to use. When she finds something different (like those post-it 3x5's) she always picks up a few for me to try.

One thing is for certain, they always know it's a note from me. <G>
