How to use sticky notes correctly!
The Wrong Way
Take the sticky note at the bottom and move it upwards to remove it from the pad. See the photo, the blue line indicates where the adhesive is, and the red arrow is the direction to move the sticky note.
Now look at that note. It is curled where the adhesive is!
Stick it somewhere on the wall and pray it doesn’t fall off before you reach the end of this answer.
The Right Way
Now take another sticky note. Start at the left side of the pad and pull the note to the right. See the picture; the blue line indicates the adhesive again, and the red arrow is the direction to move the sticky note.
Look at the result again. It’s perfectly flat!
Now stick it next to the curled note (if it’s still there of course). See the difference?
Remember this and your sticky notes will never, EVER, come off that wall again.
Happy sticking!
EXPLANATION:
If some of you are curious to know the reason for this:
Peeling off sticky notes creates 'microfolds' in the paper, perpendicular to the peeling direction.
If the adhesive band is parallel to the microfolds(upper row), the sheets remain curled, similar as for fake eyelashes.
If the adhesive band is perpendicular to the microfolds, it countereffects this bending, making sure that the sheet remains flat.
