The solution is WHO?Today we solute you, Corporate Motivation Consultant. You put the resolution in the hands of your workers, by giving them wasteful paper tablets that are half populated by header and footer. Not a faint header or footer mind you; rather, one that takes up the top third and bottom chunk of the tablet while being dark enough not to be written over. Given this display of engorged marketing technique, it would seem that the solution is not me at all; maybe it's "Motivate Through Excess?" Way to show us that you care, Corporate Motivation Consultant!
For the record, this is no reflection on my current employer (who is super extra awesome). I got a stack of these from a previous employer (not to be named) during one of their team motivation pushes. The tablets have been in my possession now for over a decade. A whole box full. That shows how popular they were at the office. Since I'm kind of a cheap pack rat, I thought maybe having them would be a cheap way to jot notes around the house. But every time I go to write on one, the header just screams
"Look at me! I'm more important than anything you will write on this page!!!"
Seeing that I have a square to write on about the size of a business card, I then turn the page over to gain more usable writing room - because the front is worthless like a spoiler on a Pinto.
So the solution is actually, "Turn It Over!"
