> How do you organize your paper notes? Meticulously. For each subject I keep notes on (projects, mathematics, reading, etc) I use a series of journals and different styles. For my projects I use a system somewhat similar to bullet journal[0]. The Leuchtterm journals are a great fit (and I'm glad I discovered them) because the pages are numbered and come with an index. I use the pocket at the back for reference cards. I like taking notes using my personal notation and being able to think in a quiet room without a glowing screen, notifications, or the temptation to check HN is valuable. It helps me get in the flow and solve the real problems. When I get back to my work at the computer it's usually pretty rote. For mathematics I use a dotted-pad with a system I developed for myself. I use smaller, lined books for my reading and diary. And they all stay in my office in my home indexed by shelf. And it looks quite handsome I think. I don't know whether it will be a boon or a burden to those I leave behind when I'm gone some day but I enjoy having a hard reference copy of my development and ideas.
