Do you keep your notes, or treat them as ephemeral? (alien.top)

I'm noticing I get stuck a lot on thinking about notebook structure and file structure in terms of how I'll archive them. But especially for notes I take while working on tasks, there's actually no need to keep them once the task's done and the information's on the page itself is migrated to my digital tools. So I'm considering just treating these kinds of notes as ephemeral.

I was just curious how picky others are about the notes they actually archive for long term keeping?

Ephemeral

I take written notes because it's faster than typing (I'm a decent typist but notes are not pre-structured, that makes it hard).

I usually set time apart to transcribe the nites into something more presentable a couple times a week.

The page with the original note is attached to this more presentable format but I've never looked at them, at this point, it's just a habit.
