We've Been Using Post-It Notes Wrong Our Whole Lives

This has BLOWN our minds.

You're probably thinking how could we be using them wrong, you pull the note off then stick, right? 

Blogger Martin Schapendonk has made us aware of our incorrect usage, by showing us the more beneficial way to use the stationery.

Most people (including us) peel the sticky note from the bottom up. But this is wrong, as it  makes the post-it note curl and not stick properly.

The correct method is peeling from the side. You are meant to pull your post-it notes from the left hand-side, along the top of the adhesive. 

Here is a side-by-side comparison of the two techniques.
