The sticky note is a ubiquitous yet taken-for-granted item of modern life. Its sticky invitation to note-making has made it a compelling and wholly fragmentary organizational tool. Examining this simple technology in the reader’s lifeworld, this article aims to glean insight into the phenomena of memory, noting, reading, and the ongoing yet ineffable moments of meaning-making in our everyday life.
