What:
A piece of stationery with a strip of low-tack adhesive that enables re-positioning without leaving any residue. Can be attached to a wide variety of flat surfaces, including documents, walls, monitors, and white boards. They come in a range of sizes, shapes, and colours.
Why:
UX professionals are indecisive. We answer most questions with 'it depends'. Myriad bits of paper (or 'data) can be useful for creating the impression that we know a lot of stuff, so 'stakeholders' shouldn't mess with our conclusions. We may also have a latent hatred for trees.

David Straker's Rapid Problem Solving With Post-It Notes is awesome.
