MitchieSM, do you wait until opening until putting them in? I would imagine that sticky dots are a pain to re-position...
Like BayAreaSM said, the ones I use aren't difficult to move at all. I use the Avery 1/4" colored dots that aren't see through, because they're the ones I can find consistently in stores. And I tend to have a number of pre-used ones littering the insides of my binders from ones that have been changed or gotten rid of. So I always have a store of them that I can easily pull from.
If we're in the middle of something, and I've already written out a long cue, I just move the dot and leave the words until a break when I can rewrite everything back out. But I will change things around as I get more comfortable with it. Or as I learn that counting all the people in my warnings takes much more time and the list of people I'm looking for needs to be pushed back a page or two, so that I can still give the warning in the proper spot...
