Tech Tip – Use “Sticky Notes” for Quick Reminders and To-Do Lists

Sticky Notes in Windows allows you to jot down reminders, ideas, or to-do lists and keep them open on your desktop for quick reference. Here’s how to Use Sticky Notes:

Open Sticky Notes:

– Press Win + S, type Sticky Notes, and open the app.

Create a New Note:

– Click the + icon to create a new note. Type your reminder or task. You can colour cose it and even add an image.

Keep Notes Visible on the Desktop:

Access Saved Notes Later:

– Sticky Notes automatically saves your content to your Microsoft account or local storage. To reopen your notes, open the Sticky Notes app again, and all previous notes will appear.
