In honor of S. D. Goitein, I have a drawer in my Macey Co. filing cabinet labeled “Genizah” where I put all of my “worn out” notes. They get transferred weekly into the circular file.
Religious documents of the 9-13th centuries were never thrown away, and were thus put into a genizah when worn. Usually they’d be copied anew for future use. My reference was a nod to this tradition, but also tongue-in-cheek snark that I’m actively throwing mine away (circular file) on a regular basis. There’s also tangential references to the idea of fleeting notes, wastebooks, and double-entry accounting methods hiding in my practice here.
