I rarely write notes because not not everyone can notice immediately. I prefer sending messages for people always have their phone with them wherever they go.

Both of them are good ways to remind others about their tasks, especially at work.

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.
