The invention claimed is: 1. A kit comprising: a rigid container comprising at least two compartments separated by a single divider; in a first compartment of the rigid container, a first plurality of single-sheet tab notes, each note comprising at most a single opening and a clip inserted through the opening, where an upper loop of the clip is on a first side of the note and a lower loop of the clip is on a second side of the note, and the first plurality of single-sheet tab notes has a first color scheme; and in a second compartment of the rigid container, a second plurality of single-sheet tab notes, substantially the same as the first plurality of single sheet tab notes, except that the second plurality of single-sheet tab notes has a second color scheme, different from the first color scheme. 2. The kit of claim 1 further comprising: in the first compartment, a third plurality of single-sheet tab notes, substantially the same as the first plurality of single sheet tab notes, except that the third plurality of single-sheet tab notes has a third color scheme, different from the first and second color schemes, wherein the first plurality of single-sheet tab notes are arranged together in a first single group in a first portion of the first compartment and the third plurality of single-sheet tab notes are arranged together in a second single group in a first portion of the second compartment; and in the second compartment, a fourth plurality of single-sheet tab notes, substantially the same as the first plurality of single sheet tab notes, except that the fourth plurality of single-sheet tab notes has a fourth color scheme, different from the first, second, and third color schemes, wherein the second plurality of single-sheet tab notes are arranged together in a first single group in a first portion of the second compartment and the fourth plurality of single-sheet tab notes are arranged together in a second single group in a second portion of the second compartment. 3. The kit of claim 1 wherein the first color scheme comprises: a first color applied to a portion of a note defined by a straight line above the opening; and a second color applied to a portion of a note below the straight line, wherein the first and second colors are different. 4. The kit of claim 3 wherein the straight line touches the opening. 5. The kit of claim 3 wherein the second color scheme comprises: a third color applied to a portion of a note defined by a straight line above the opening; and a fourth color applied to a portion of a note below the straight line, wherein the third and fourth colors are different. 6. The kit of claim 3 wherein the second color is applied by dying the note and the first color is printed on the note after the note has been dyed. 7. The method of claim 4 wherein two side edges of the note above the straight line are substantially parallel as these side edges extend toward a top edge of the note, and two side edges of the note below the straight line are tapered as these side edges extend toward a bottom edge of the note. 8. The method of claim 1 wherein the container is translucent plastic and the single-sheet tab notes are visible through the plastic. 9. The method of claim 1 wherein a height of the divider is less than or equal to a distance from a bottom edge of a tab note to its top edge and greater than of a distance from the bottom edge to a top edge of an opening of the tab note. 10. A kit comprising: a container, the container having a plurality of compartments, the plurality of compartments including a first compartment and a second compartment, wherein the first compartment and the second compartments are defined in the container by at least one divider; a first plurality of tabbed note assemblies, the first plurality of tabbed note assemblies including a first tabbed note assembly having a first tabbed note and a first fastener, the first tabbed note having a first tab portion and a first note portion, the first note portion being approximately trapezoidally shaped, the first tabbed note having a first opening defined therein through which the first fastener is inserted, wherein the first plurality of tabbed notes is positioned at least partially in the first compartment; and a second plurality of tabbed note assemblies, the second plurality of tabbed note assemblies including a second tabbed note assembly having a second tabbed note and a second fastener, the second tabbed note having a second tab portion and a second note portion, the second note portion being approximately trapezoidally shaped, the second tabbed note having a second opening defined therein through which the second fastener is inserted, wherein the second plurality of tabbed notes is positioned at least partially in the second compartment. 11. The kit of claim 10 wherein the plurality of compartments includes a third compartment, the kit further including: a third plurality of tabbed note assemblies, the third plurality of tabbed note assemblies including a third tabbed note assembly having a third tabbed note and a third fastener, the third tabbed note having a third tab portion and a third note portion, the third note portion being approximately trapezoidally shaped, the third tabbed note having a third opening defined therein through which the third fastener is inserted, wherein the third plurality of tabbed notes is positioned at least partially in the third compartment. 12. The kit of claim 10 wherein the first plurality of tabbed note assemblies has a first color scheme and the second plurality of tabbed note assemblies has a second color scheme. 13. The kit of claim 12 wherein the first color scheme includes a first shade of a first color and a second shade of the first color, the first note portion being of the first shade of the first color and the first tab portion being of the second shade of the first color, and wherein the second color scheme includes a first shade of the second color and a second shade of the second color, the second note portion being of the first shade of the second color and the second tab portion being of the second shade of the second color. 14.
