A sticky note pad comprising: at least two stacks of sticky note sheets, said stacks being disposed one upon the other, each of said sticky note sheets having top and bottom faces, left and right lateral edges (313, 314), a note-writing region provided on said top face, an index tab region projecting outwardly from said right lateral edge, and a removable pressure sensitive adhesive layer provided on said bottom face in proximity to said left lateral edge, said index tab regions of said sticky note sheets of one of said stacks being staggered with respect to said index tab regions of said sticky note sheets of the other one of said stacks in a top-to-bottom direction, said index tab regions of said sticky note sheets of one of said stacks being aligned to said index tab regions of said sticky note sheets of the other one of said stacks in a direction parallel to said left and right lateral edges (313, 314) of said sticky note sheets; a glue layer binding said left lateral edges of said sticky note sheets of all of said stacks; and characterised by a partition sheet disposed between said two stacks and adhered to said bottom face of a lowermost one of said sticky note sheets of an upper one of said stacks; and a protective layer having a lateral shield section adhered to said glue layer, a bottom shield section connected integrally as one piece with a bottom end of said lateral shield section and disposed below a lowermost one of said sticky note sheets of a lowermost one of said stacks, and a top shield section connected integrally as one piece with a top end of said lateral shield section and disposed above an uppermost one of said sticky note sheets of an uppermost one of said stacks, said top shield section covering a portion of said note-writing region of said uppermost one of said sticky note sheets of said uppermost one of said stacks; wherein said index tab regions of said sticky note sheets of one of said stacks are colored differently from said index tab regions of said sticky note sheets of the other one of said stacks; and wherein said index tab region of each of said sticky note sheets is colored the same as said right lateral edge of a respective one of said sticky note sheets; wherein said sticky note pad further comprises a transparent cover sheet connected to said top shield section and covering the remaining portion of said note-writing region of said uppermost one of said sticky note sheets of said uppermost one of said stacks. at least two stacks of sticky note sheets, said stacks being disposed one upon the other, each of said sticky note sheets having top and bottom faces, left and right lateral edges (313, 314), a note-writing region provided on said top face, an index tab region projecting outwardly from said right lateral edge, and a removable pressure sensitive adhesive layer provided on said bottom face in proximity to said left lateral edge, said index tab regions of said sticky note sheets of one of said stacks being staggered with respect to said index tab regions of said sticky note sheets of the other one of said stacks in a top-to-bottom direction, said index tab regions of said sticky note sheets of one of said stacks being aligned to said index tab regions of said sticky note sheets of the other one of said stacks in a direction parallel to said left and right lateral edges (313, 314) of said sticky note sheets; a glue layer binding said left lateral edges of said sticky note sheets of all of said stacks; and characterised by a partition sheet disposed between said two stacks and adhered to said bottom face of a lowermost one of said sticky note sheets of an upper one of said stacks; and a protective layer having a lateral shield section adhered to said glue layer, a bottom shield section connected integrally as one piece with a bottom end of said lateral shield section and disposed below a lowermost one of said sticky note sheets of a lowermost one of said stacks, and a top shield section connected integrally as one piece with a top end of said lateral shield section and disposed above an uppermost one of said sticky note sheets of an uppermost one of said stacks, said top shield section covering a portion of said note-writing region of said uppermost one of said sticky note sheets of said uppermost one of said stacks; wherein said index tab regions of said sticky note sheets of one of said stacks are colored differently from said index tab regions of said sticky note sheets of the other one of said stacks; and wherein said index tab region of each of said sticky note sheets is colored the same as said right lateral edge of a respective one of said sticky note sheets; wherein said sticky note pad further comprises a transparent cover sheet connected to said top shield section and covering the remaining portion of said note-writing region of said uppermost one of said sticky note sheets of said uppermost one of said stacks.
