Yes, I write on little journals, I have almost 6 yrs doing it and I have a little box full of them, It isn't organized but it's always nice to look through when I'm searching something.

I do this too with the little journals. Started in 2011 and am on journal #72 at the moment. They still fit in a shoebox.

My secret is to transcribe the journals to text files. Then it's searchable, too!

A frequent (daily) transcription process also yields other benefits such as being an intrinsic reminder system.
