New Uses for Dry Erase Markers

Productivity501:

Dry erase markers are wonderful inventions. Not only can you use them to write on the special dry erase boards, but they also work well on glass. You can use this to leave notes in some pretty interesting places.

For example, you can write notes on your bathroom mirror where you will be sure to see it in the morning. The window in your office can also serve as a nice impromptu whiteboard. I have a large desk made from a thick sheet of glass over a frame, so I can use dry erase markers to write directly on my desktop.

Obviously having everything you write in a neat wooden framed whiteboard is less messy and looks more organized, but sometimes doing something out of the ordinary is what it takes to get results that are out of the ordinary.

Now why didn't I ever think of trying that? Just be sure not try this with a permanent marker!

I don't know how people used to work without whiteboards. It was one of the first things I bought in the US. The markers work fine on glass, though I worry that if I leave them on for too long, they might stain. You of course, are probably going to go the high-tech route on this one...

Did you know that if you write on a dry erase surface with permanante marker you just draw over the mark with a dry erase marker and erase( with aa attachable KLEENSLATE eraser if you are lucky enough to have one) but any eraser should do. Also your white boards will last longer if you just use soap and whter to clean them instead of all that smelly fluid!
