I employ a simple version of the bullet journaling method. I maintain an index at the beginning of the book where I add topics and the page numbers that I have information about it on. Still not ctrl-f speed of course, but I am not flipping through my notebook trying to find the right page. For your situation, I'll probably right down the job reference on the page of the day, and then add a `Job References` entry in the index and add the current page number beside it. At the end of each year, I'll digitize everything important for archival purposes (usually very little), and move over ongoing collections (like book list), to the next notebook.
- rovr138 6y agoHow much space have you found is good for an index?
- lazyasciiart 6y agoNot the poster you asked, but I keep one at the end of a notebook for exactly this reason: I don't have to guess how much space it will need.
- rovr138 6y agoOkay, this works! I have thought about this in the past, keeping it all documented on notebooks, but indexing is one part that has made me question how to organize them. Thank you!
- dTal 6y agoAnd you write it backwards from the end? Otherwise I don't see how this solves the issue.
- lazyasciiart 6y agoYes? I've also considered doing the index only when the notebook is full, allowing 10 pages or so. Haven't tried it yet.
