That is awesome, but I have to admit I have yet to use this feature.

Not only could I have virtual sticky notes, I could do things with them too. Once I had added all my notes to Google Keep, I started to explore the other functionalities of this amazing tool. The accomplishment was almost overwhelming as I didn’t think I would ever escape the sticky note cycle I had been doing for so many years. When I finished my space was organized and clean. I dove right in and within a few minutes I had transferred all of the important notes from around me to a screen on my computer. It was a ‘desktop’ where I could place virtual sticky notes to my heart’s content. When I opened up the software I quickly understood what it was. The day Geneva told me about Google Keep, my desk was a mess. This would take some time and it always felt so good when my area was clean and free of the multi-colored sea of stickies. Every so often I would go through a spring cleaning for just sticky notes, making sure I hadn’t forgotten any tasks or that I had bought that book someone told me about. Pretty soon my monitors, my desk, my notebooks would be covered in sticky notes. When I was working and needed to make a quick note or write down a task, my trusted stack of stickies was waiting. I used to have a stack of about five different sized sticky notes close at hand. If your desk looks anything like my desk used to, this tool is for you. After a few clicks of the mouse I had opened up a brand new world.

I have been a long time fan of Google and when Geneva Hooten, Lead for Innovation and Improvement in my office, said, “You gotta check this Google App out!”, I was on it.

How can a nifty piece of software in the cloud possibly clean off my desk? A lot easier than you might think.
