Getting the knowledge book started.

Used this in the army for other knowledge now it’s my reloading knowledge book

I just write down my specs and load data on a piece of notebook paper and leave it in the case with the respective dies.

In life some of us are super organized and make being so look effortless. Me not so much unfortunately. I discovered that a half sheet of 6.5X11 piece of paper fit perfectly in the Lee reloading book, and many others as well. I put my notes and recipes on that paper and use them as bookmarks for that particular cartridge. From experience you can add half as many pages before the binding gives out on the Lee or Speer books.
ETA: I started doing this when typewriters and a triangle square were the tools of choice and never felt the need to "update" my logs.

I'm so scatterbrained that my organization never lasts very long. Most of the time my "organization" looks like a disaster zone.

Ha! Good use for those. I have a whole drawer full of those things. Never knew what to do with them, but didn't want to throw them out

Me too - I use note cards though, and I include the velocities from my chronograph on them if I'm working with a new load. I have a basic, inexpensive chronograph, but when I get home from shooting, it's pretty easy to plug the velocities recorded on the note card(s) into a spread sheet on this computer - if I'm interested in averages, and SDs, and that kind of stuff. Then I write that data on the note card too, and into the die box the note card goes.

Same here. I have a dresser for targets with data written on them.
My Speer book has loads written under the data.
My Lyman book has note pages in it.

Great.
Now I don't know whether to feel relief that my small collection of scribbled-in composition notebooks is normal, or shame that I haven't begun to organize using page protectors and spread sheets.

I have been feeling a semi-conscious urge to cull out the more important data and notes from amongst the scribblings just so I can find them faster...

If I had a binder that cool, I would have figured out a way to use it as well, but I'll just have to admire yours ...

This one was free but I think they go for under $20 normally.

I knew that I’d use it *someday* post service but just never knew what for.

A type-what now? Is that like some kind of computer?

 

[jonas66]

Yep.
Clunky, noisy, error-prone interface.
The electron usage was in the antiquated actual physical manifestation and required frequent manual intervention or re-supply.
Formatting was done in non-standardized freehand.
Reproduction and distribution induced mass tree-murder.

Wait...how's a triangle square?

Sounds like torture!

I use the cloud to keep track of my data. Don’t know if that’s a good thing or it’s bad to do.
