Because I work remotely, I can’t leave notes for my colleagues. On the other hand, even before the era of remote work, I didn’t leave notes either. At work, I prefer to send emails or schedule meetings in the calendar. In my private life, with friends or family, I prefer to call because it’s faster to arrange something, whether it’s a meeting or getting some information.

Well, I prefer to leave a text message as this is the fastest way to convey information to the receiver. Writing or leaving a note might not surve the purpose sometimes as people nowadays hardly read. I remember, once my friend was looking for a key and she didn't bother to read the note on the board I left for her.

I usually use text messages for my friends or family, but because my parents don't check their phones in the morning I often leave notes on their drawers.
