Abstract: Information is recorded, organized, and formatted using a computer, and printed onto paper provided with track-feed holes which are used both for feeding through a printer and for mounting the paper on ring elements of a binder. The pages are provided with fold lines such that the pages may be folded along the line to fit within the binder. When a page is unfolded, a foldout leaf projects outward beyond an edge of the binder so that the leaf and information recorded thereon is visible while turned to a different page in the notebook. Various paper designs allow tailoring of the system to user needs. In addition, step-indexing of pages allows headers on numerous pages to be visible simultaneously. Also disclosed is a task-oriented system for organizing information wherein the pages in the notebook are separated into sections and wherein pages in a section are devoted to a single topic.
