Do any academics or other writers use stickers? If so, which ones do you use and how, and have you made any custom ones?I have a vague inkling that stickers could be really useful, but I don’t yet have any clear ideas about how.I was in a similar situation in regard to keywords until robinbluebird related a really good method in another thread.

I’ve been using stickers in my research for various reasons. I do a lot of archival research, so when I’m copying my notes into Notebook and I see, as I review, that I’ll need some bibliography on a particular topic, a put a sticker on that item for later secondary research. I also use stickers to keep track of different themes or topics. Another use of stickers has been to mark important information when deciding what I will make the focus of my paper or article.

I’ve also found stickers to be handy for signaling problems that need to be resolved for later.
