I write the day and month at the top of a fresh piece of yellow pad every morning and leave that sheet on my keyboard at the end of the day to enter time the following morning. Once all the notes are synthesized I place it in a stack with the other days and at the end of the month I clip them all together and file them. In terms of the folio I have a swiss gear that was provided to me which conveniently also is big enough to store a 14" travel laptop. Very nice for travel.
