Organizing Loose Leaf?


LostArk

Recommended Posts

I tend to accumulate a good amount of loose leaf notes / journaling pages. Right now I just throw them in a Shoe box or stuff them in journals. Is there a better way to organize them besides an expanding folder? Is there such a thing as a loose leaf binder that doesn't require me to punch holes in my pages? I use A5 paper exclusively.

I used to use a folder with a pressed cardboard cover. Inside was a metal lever that operated a clamp. It held the papers snugly in place, but was easily opened. I'm not sure what it was called. There are a few floating around my basement, but I have since decided that I prefer to punch holes (sorry).

If you have a LOT of pages, you are better off punching holes to put them into a binder.

FWIW, I use a box that some 8½ x 11 copy paper came in. I just throw the loose leaf in there these days. I do have a number of loose leaf binders with rings for holes though. The box is where most of my written-on loose leaf ends up at this time.

I have tones of loose paper ever where! I vow only ever to use notebooks for notes from now on.

 

 

About your problem. Black and red A5 notebooks are good quality and widely available. I'd get a a few of them if I were you.

All the suggestions so far are A4 - you mentioned you need A5. That makes it even tougher. I love the old style springback binders.

Correction - looking around I note that they do make an A5 version too.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
