The sticky note system I mocked for a year actually works

My desk mate has this color coded sticky note system for tracking which files need signatures, and I thought it was the dumbest thing ever. But after three days of using it last month when she was out sick and I had to cover her, I didn't miss a single deadline. Has anyone else had a system they hated that turned out to be legit?

3 days of covering for someone turned you into a sticky note convert? That's wild, I would have just let things pile up and blamed the system. I guess sometimes the dumbest looking methods are secretly genius, which is annoying to admit. Now I'm wondering what other silly tricks I've been ignoring for years.

Hated to admit it but now I'm color coding my own desk.

Hated to admit it too @karen361, but I got a label maker last week and now I'm color coding everything. Never thought I'd be that person, but it actually helps me find stuff way faster.
