I have all my writings in notebooks and stacks of copy paper. It takes up less room that way. I also scan everything so I will have backups. I have been saving information for around 60 years, so there's a lot.
You might want to write the date at the top of each page as you write it. It's good to have a timeline of thoughts.
As an example, I can look through my notes and see when I first researched the genealogy of Ezra Asa Cohen-Watnick to scope him out. He seems to be a good guy, but I didn't have any idea back then.
I want to index it all on the computer someday so it will be easier to locate individual pages that I want to see. I was trying to find something yesterday that I had written a few years ago about the Book of Jubilees. I didn't find it, but it's there somewhere.
OCR won't read my handwriting. It's only good for clear text. I've seen older books that I could read easily, but the OCR misread a lot.
The best I can do is index things and post images someday on one of my websites. I have posted a few things, but it would doxx me to advertise it here.

You should consider using OCR software to convert it into text and possibly upload it for the world to further research
