Sticker placement, room by room
Where to stick your PROVE IT Stickers.
The rule: put the sticker where the task happens, not where you are when the alert fires. Distance is the whole point. Here are the spots that work, from people who use them.
Bedroom
- Get out of bed: sticker in the bathroom, not on the nightstand. If you can reach it from under the covers, it’s too close.
- Make the bed: sticker on the headboard.
- Start winding down: sticker on the nightstand, set for the time you keep saying you’ll go to bed.
- Put the phone away: sticker on the charging dock across the room. Tapping it puts the phone where it belongs.
Bathroom
- Take your meds: sticker on the pill bottle.
- Take your vitamins: sticker on the vitamin jar.
- Floss one tooth: sticker on the floss box. One tooth counts.
- Wash your friggin face: sticker on the bathroom mirror.
Kitchen
- Drink water: sticker on the water bottle.
- Eat breakfast: sticker on the coffee maker.
- Eat lunch: sticker on the wall next to the fridge.
- Do the dishes: sticker above the sink.
- Take out the trash: sticker on the wall next to the trash can.
- Feed the fish: sticker on the fish food.
- Water the plants: sticker on the wall next to the watering can.
By the front door
- Dude, leave for appointment: sticker on the wall next to the front door, alert set for when you actually need to leave.
- Don’t forget your keys: sticker on the wall next to the key hook.
- Walk the dog: sticker on the wall next to the leash hook.
- Go for a walk: sticker on the shoe bench.
- Check the mail: sticker on the mailbox.
Desk, gym and everything else
- Log off work: sticker on the desk next to your laptop.
- Get to the Peloton: sticker on the wall next to the Peloton.
- Stretch for 5 minutes: sticker on the yoga mat.
- Pack the gym bag: sticker on the bag tag.
- Plan tomorrow: sticker on your planner.
- Grab your wallet: sticker inside your wallet.
- Scoop the litter box: sticker on the litter scoop.
- Move the laundry: sticker on the wall next to the dryer.
Surfaces that work (and one that doesn’t)
Clean, dry and flat is ideal: painted walls, mirrors, plastic bottles, wood, glass, laminate. Metal can interfere with the scan, so test before you stick: hold the sticker in place, tap it with your phone, and only peel once it reads. The 3M adhesive is built to stay, and re-sticking weakens it.
