You may keep many things in one file.

For instance, I prepare my blog entries in some Org file.  Each entry is
at the same time a TODO item, with todo keywords TODO, READY and DONE
("READY" means ready for publishing, "DONE" means published).  Each
entry has also a "LOGBOOK drawer", which is normally hidden, with
clocking (= time-tracking) information.  All in one place.  This is
beautiful.

Eg. convert them to LaTeX for printing on paper.
