I remember the old days of having to carry about different A4-sized pads of paper for different lectures in my bag when going to university. Getting home at the end of the day and having to face the laborious task of going through each notepad trying to collate my notes and put them into some kind of workable order. Needless to say, the novelty of keeping on top of things soon wore off and left me with notepads and notepads of unorganized, badly taken notes which probably affected my performance.
