Whiteboards are essential in every person’s life and everybody can surely find use in the whiteboards themselves. Whiteboards have a variety of uses but the most important one is using them for planning. Of course you can plan using various methods such as just in your head, on your computer, or on a piece of paper. Whiteboards are different in the sense that you can clearly write or draw out whatever you want. Mistakes are easily replaced so you can get rid of them and start fresh. If you use a piece of paper you will go from paper to paper and loose some ideas in the process. It also use your hands and eyes in a more physical interactive way. This will keep you more engaged with the planning task at hand and allow you to do it better. Other than planning some other uses are drawing, keeping track of items, making a calendar, or doing math. These are just some of the few reasons why whiteboards are essential.
