- sethammons 6y agoI have a small, bound notebook and then a tear-away notepad. I jot down initial notes on the tear-away, then move them over to the bound notebook every few days. I do a very, very lite version of bullet journaling whereby I re-go through the bound journal’s latest entires from time to time and re-capture relevant tasks and notes as new entries. This gives me the spaced repetition to remember important things and allows me to drop no-longer relevant things.
