I tear them off and put them in a filing box in hanging folders labeled by month. The nice thing about tearing them off is that you can pull out the sheets that you might need while you're working on something. Sometimes I just spread out everything I need on the floor so I can see it all at once. I've got a keeper clipboard that usually just has my legal pad and pen in it with a calendar sheet and all the task sheets that it links to, but sometimes I have to refer to things from years ago so I may have a few sheets from 2016 or whenever when I'm working away from home.
If you do use this method, I should add that when you link to a note, you only need to add the significant digits to the link. For instance, say you're making a list which has the timestamp 202403261200. One of the list items has a link to another note, say, 202403251123. Instead of writing out the full link, you just write [251123] since the only difference between the links of the paper you're writing on and the paper you're linking to is the day and time fields. Later, when you read the shortened link, you know it must share the same year and month as the sheet it's written on.
Another thing. Try using a calendar sheet for each month. I carry around the current month and at least the next three as well. Each event on the calendar links to a sheet that has all the info I need for that event. This has been enormously helpful for me. It helps if you use graph paper legal pads for this so you can draw the calendar easily.
