organize my notes

Took a bit of time, but if I stay ontop of my class notes I will be okay… I am a perfectionist but sometimes i just have no time! I had to punch holes in everything, staple them and number them… :)

I have tons of old pieces of writing, ranging all the way back to high school saved for various valid and ridiculous reasons. I need one solid filing system that I can access and transport so that I’m not just keeping them to use up space. My memory is on paper.

got em in folders:

Bibliography notes:

Octavio Paz 1914

The Labyrinth of Solitude 1950

John Fowles, The Collector 1963
Wormholes 1998

Attachments 1977
August 1983
Perfidia 1997

President Putin won re-election when i took the above notes. GDP to be redoubled in 10 years, prediction.

Practical result: Destruction of appointment letter on which notes were taken. See “Throw out junk.”

I’ve had them all (mostly) stacked on a shelf, primarily in folders. Finding notes from a particular course was difficult and messy.

Now they’re still stacked, but the folders are mostly put into binders, and I have an index of which binder contains which courses, where each binder is (though that’s not really hard to see), and I’ve even grouped a lot of them by subject. Most(?) of my philosophy courses are together, as are most(?) of my computer science courses.

One or two courses seem to be missing, strangely enough. But major improvement, this is.

These are, of course, all for old courses. I’m done with college for now. Maybe I’ll go for a Masters or Ph.D. sometime.
