It's not completely lacking. I can just move a file to a different place on my computer's desktop, just as easily as I could move a real file on a normal desk to leave myself a message.

The interesting thing is that it doesn't even have to be relevant to what it's supposed to remind me of. In fact, the more unique (and thereby, less relevant) the change is, the better the odds are that I'll remember what I want to.

The primary downside is that it makes you more sensitive to people moving your stuff around. They generally have no clue that they could be disrupting something.
