Scattered notes

I often say I'm 'checking my notes' to confirm certain details about my surveillance, yet it takes me a long time to follow up. There are several reasons for this:

1. My notes are all over the place, and they're often written on every conceivable scrap of paper you can imagine (see below);
   
   
2. The various notebooks and diaries I've kept are mostly taped up and sealed; and
   
   
3. I'm just plain disorganized.

Please be patient.

Here's one example of how my notes tend to be scattered all over the place, and why they're not easy for me to find:
