Organizing treasure leads

How does everyone organize their treasure leads??  I am looking for a way to organize mine. Some of the ideas that I have come up with are plastic sheet protectors, three ring binders, and laminating the information (articles, etc.) Just curious what other are doing to save their treasure leads. Thanks for your input.

Mods: please feel free to move if this is in the wrong area. Thanks.

I keep a balance between my web links for my online stuff located in a Treasure Files folder in my Firefox browser, and then I have a digital treasure folder on my Windows desktop where I try to keep everything digitized and organized by separate folders within the main folder. There is a method to my madness... though I might be the only to be able to know where it's all at. I do keep hard copies to sometimes... I just prefer digital copies, as they are easier to search through on the laptop and I can keep multiple backups between my laptop and my two external hard drives. I also keep much of my digital content on my flash drive that I carry everywhere with me. Wow, I'm now realizing how OCD I really am.

Mostly hard copy. I do have some computer files, but to me theres nothing like having the paper in my hand. My main lead is in a separate folder, which is larger than the folders with my other leads. In fact, I need to make sub folders for it. I don't have anything laminated, but thats a good idea.

i keep a journal, carry it with me all the time, and back things up in a binder i might want for in the future.  works well for me. also... map on the wall of the country with push pins... easy reminders
