post-it

Adhesive reminder square

A post-it is a small piece of paper with a lightly adhesive strip on the back, designed to stick temporarily to surfaces without leaving residue.

Originally a brand name (Post-it), the term now refers generically to any sticky note: She covered her monitor with post-its.

Post-its serve as reminders, bookmarks, or impromptu labels.
