Sticky Notes for Productivity

I am enjoying using Sticky Notes feature of Windows. Its an almost perfect organizational tool that Ive been searching. I am always using pen and paper to organize my thoughts and schedules but i find it quite tedious sometimes. With the use of sticky notes, i can jot down and plan my week workload in a two-monitor setup here in the office.

I used color coded sticky notes to remind me that Blue indicates task need to complete in school while Yellow may indicate tasks to complete here in office. Green indicates task related to project specific.And so on so forth..

However, I will not abandone the old school approach of using pen and notebook because I can bring this tool wherever I go unlike the sticky note which is only applicable at PC.

Make GMAIL look like Outlook

Ive been searching whole day how to organize my emails in gmail similar to outlook. One way of searching that in google is by typing " how to organize gmail by separating date" since Outlook is filtered like that. There are many results but I find inappropriate.

Finally, due to my persistence, I find a keyword to finally get to what I wanted.

...and this solves my problem..I could now read emails in an organize manner..because I simply have to unchecked Conversation view setting in setting.

You know, if this Conversation view is checked, emails from different persons are hard to trace especially when another person is copy furnished on a single subject email.
