Abstract: A motion-detecting note holder is disclosed. Such a note holder includes a note retention member, a motion sensor, a note-waiting indicator, and a controller in communication with the motion sensor and the note-waiting indicator. The controller, upon receiving a motion-detection signal from the motion sensor, causes the note-waiting indicator to provide a human-perceptible indication that a note is in the note retention member.

Abstract: A motion-detecting note holder is disclosed. Such a note holder may include a message writing surface, a switch, a motion sensor, a note-waiting indicator, and a controller in communication with the switch, the motion sensor, and the note-waiting indicator. When the switch is actuated, the controller, upon receiving a motion-detection signal from the motion sensor, may cause the note-waiting indicator to provide a human-perceptible indication that a note is waiting on the message writing surface. The message writing surface may include an easy erasure message writing surface.
