I carry mine everywhere and jot down EVERYTHING in it: ideas, meeting notes, phone call notes, appointments, etc. I also use it to outline and draft articles, correspondence, and any other writing I do.
As things get done or transferred to permanent platforms, I cross them off. As all items on one page get done, I draw a big X on a page. When both sides of a page have Xs, I tear the page out. When all notes have been filed and all tasks completed, I throw away the notebook and start a new one.
I don’t keep my notebooks. I have no sentimental attachment to them. They help me keep all my notes in one place and get things done.
