Attention writers, help me come up with a plan to stop hoarding Notebooks

[War Eagle!]

Hello friends,

I've got quite a dilemma. I've got a notebook and magazine problem at the moment. I noticed that I am beginning to be hoarder of these items.

I run into a problem just throwing the notebooks away because in my mind the golden ticket is in one of them somewhere. I question if my old notebooks are some of those things that I have to let go of.

I've got notebooks from college, previous jobs, etc etc. Sometimes I seemingly used them but for the most part I am moving them from place to place during our quarterly cleaning sessions.

Hearing my despair what would you do? Would you junk them? Would you back them up somehow? If so how? Is there a process that won't take me 15 years?

Anything? Anybody? Thanks in advance.

I hoard notebooks too, then look back at them and crack up at what kinds of doodles I make or things that I write in them. I'm never getting rid of mine.

Sorry, I realize that's of no help to you.

I've got one word for you:

Do you use Microsoft Office? OneNote is awesome. I actually transcribed all of my old school notebooks into OneNote (as best I could since my writing gets a bit illegible at times)

That's a fresh one. I threw away a good chunk of them, but I do have MANY remaining lol.



That would definitely make sure of this S-Pen I've got with my Tab S6.

Not sure what your process is for writing and review, but I would suggest what BurghFan recommended by converting to digital.

Not only does it make storage much easier and less cluttered, but it would also give you an opportunity to review and possibly rework something in the process.
