sticky-notes
Temporary paper reminders
Sticky-notes are small pieces of paper with a strip of low-tack adhesive on the back, allowing them to be attached to surfaces and removed without leaving residue.
They serve as reminders, bookmarks, or quick messages: Her monitor was covered in sticky-notes.
The singular sticky-note describes one such slip.
Post-it is the dominant brand name, often used generically.
