What many of you don't know, despite having seen me in my home office in the numerous webinars that Law.com International hosts, is that one side of my office wall is dominated by Post-it notes. My five-year-old calls my office the 'Rainbow Room' because of the colourful sticky notes that have consumed one wall panel but that's also because she knows nothing of the content and connotations.

I rely on these notes to keep track of tips, news and trends, suspicions, ideas and fleeting thoughts. There's no real science to the colour coding but there is an order to the chaos, at least to me.
