Author of Note to self, Alex Ostrowski, says he created the book because "Every now and then I am struck with a refreshing clarity of head, a lovely moment in which I can see a thought so plainly that it offers me a simpler perspective on things. I try to write them down but usually lose the note - hence this rather large book of tear-out posters! Each one is designed to help me remember something which I usually forget from day-to-day."
Unfortunately the book is sold out, but you can create your own notes to self. The next time you have an amazing idea...write it down...and no, I don't mean on the back of a crumbled receipt that winds up getting washed with your jeans. Been there! Here's to writing down self-motivating thoughts to get you through the day.

I *heart* Alex Ostrowski ... each one of his projects is more whimsical and wonderful than the last.
I have to write everything down.....then I run through my little book later on for inspiration!
love.
Always a good idea! I love the first one because it is so true.
Cute idea for a great self motivator.
simply, i love.
so cute! Love your blog, by the way!
fabulous notebook. too bad.. I'll have to bookmark this new find then won't I!
Love these! Notes are what I live by... my desk is covered... only they are things to do... and not FUN things to do... sigh... note to self give myself a break!
These are great...I have tons of post-it notes all over the place with little reminders and bits of inspiration...a collection of posters would be much neater :)
So kicking myself for not thinking of this first! I love it.
I love his stuff!
this is great! love it!
Great way to store affirmations, love it.
so fantastic. i also love that rainbow on the wall in the bottom photo! i bet he's a fun guy to be around. :)
You always find the BEST stuff!!!
This is great!
That is a wonderful book! I can see why it's sold out.
bummer it's sold out! It's a brilliant idea :)
Ooooh I love this idea-- and it's so well executed! :)
Lovely graphics! The idea reminds me of these posters from orange beautiful.
Yeah they do - thanks for the link!
these are great--i totally needed some nice notes to self today, and i love ostrowski's reasons for creating the book. thank you for sharing!
i love this idea!i'm going to try and remember to do this!
What a wonderful idea. I like to draw happy stick figure notes to my friends and husband all the time, especially when they're feeling bummed. I should start writing positive notes to myself and just wallpaper my cube at work, where I need the encouragement the most!
I did make a happiness diagram note to myself though. I was having a really bad day, and I was super depressed about my job. So I thought I'd make a visual of all the things I love and that make me happy. I'm up to five Post-It notes already and growing (http://reverieblog.blogspot.com

Great idea all around!
I love this! I would love to buy it...
Love it. Love your blog.
Love it - and love the tear out poster idea for that book.
Very cool. Love your blog :)
These are great and they would definitely be more fun than the zillion stick-its I have around my house.
I LOVE THIS!
Yes. I have my own little note to self book but it's falling apart. I should do a little diy myself.
