How I did it: Over the summer, I took up a cooking hobby. I started baking and simmering and grocery shopping like no other. And as I found recipes, I'd write them down in my catch-all notebooks.

But after awhile, as I filled in journals, I'd lose the recipes in the pages of my archives.

So in an attempt to keep them around, sometimes I'd rewrite them in my new journal, but after a case of serious writer's cramp, took it upon myself to fix the situation.

I whipped out the 4x6 index cards, got a pen, and started writing them down again.

Now all my recipes are organized.

Lessons & tips: Have a nice bold pen color, and lined index cards. Use shorthand for measurements!

Resources: Index cards, a pen, my recipes, extra time...
