A Population Survey of Desk-Level Reminders and the Paperless-Desk Mandate It Triggered
A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities and the School of Continuous Improvement surveys 1,142 sticky notes across 186 desks on one office floor, treating each note's undisturbed tenure as a survival outcome by desk zone, and reports Facilities' adoption of the population's ninetieth-percentile note age as the trigger threshold for a paperless-desk mandate later extended to the building's noticeboards.
