Why a desktop whiteboard beats sticky notes
I used to ring my monitor with sticky notes for to-dos, and half of them fell off or went stale. I grabbed a small desktop whiteboard and now the running list lives in one place I can wipe and rewrite. It sounds trivial, but it genuinely cut the clutter on my desk.
I use it every day for the day's tasks and quick numbers I don't want to lose. It erases clean without much ghosting, and having it flat on the desk, instead of a wall board I have to turn to, means I actually keep it updated.
What I liked
- Sits right on your desk where you'll use it
- Wipes clean without ghosting
- Clears the sticky notes off your monitor
- Cheap desk upgrade
What to know
- Writing area is small and fills up fast
- Included markers are so-so
- Not a replacement for a big wall board
- Surface can scratch if you're rough with it
Common questions
Is a desktop whiteboard better than sticky notes?
For a running to-do list, yes. It lives in one spot you can wipe and rewrite, instead of a pile of notes that fall off or go stale.
Does it erase cleanly?
Yes, it wipes clean without much ghosting as long as you use dry-erase markers and don't leave writing on it for weeks.
