Show us some pictures of your gaming, notebook or binder. I’m getting back into using a physical binder now that my games are more in person, and I need the inspiration!

Not much to show, I just use a ringed notebook for noting down things that happen during the game.
I've found that I prefer A5 format. With A4 it gets big and by the time I get to the bottom of the right page, the notes at the top of the left one are ancient. A5 is easier to manage
I prefer systems where I don't need so many stats. Savage Worlds is the most crunch I can work with. So for the plot I only need a way to check up on ideas and "arcs" and for that I use ObsidianMD on mobile or PC. I'm jumping around different topics a lot, so even having bookmarks in notebook would be hard to work with
Mine is a carboard with second hand paper (think used calendar pages, old printed pages) and a strong clip added over the top. Whit this kind of paper I use the other side of the page. I do this to sort of give it a second life. Also this is for notes during the session, this is then rewritten for Campaign Logger once I have time.
I do this both as a GM or as a Player because I like having good notes. In some games, when the game finished, I contact the GM and give him a list of the added NPCs he used, because sometimes my notes are more detailed than his.
Impressive! :)
