post-it note

Adhesive paper square

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

Used for reminders, labels, and quick messages: She left a post-it note on his monitor.

The name comes from the 3M brand Post-it, though the term applies generically to any repositionable sticky note.
