First, in the actual secret bit I would write it in several layers of code (preferably something highly impractical to crack and also in a made-up language). After that I would place it in a fireproof metal casing for which there's only one key, which I would bury under the ground about 1/3 of the way around the world from me. Obviously the container would contain a self-destruct mechanism if broken by force without using the key. I would then stick the notebook onto a satellite before it launches, attaching it using something which will launch it reasonably far from the satellite when I activate a remote control from the surface. During this whole process I'll be careful to never touch the casing or the key with skin, just clothing/whatever else, thus making it much harder to trace to me if found. That would allow me to leave the notebook floating in space, encoded, and unlikely to be found by anyone. If it is found, they would first have to find the key, which they would have to search manually for since they wouldn't be able to trace the case to me, then they would have to break the code, and then they'd have to figure out the language, also without being able to trace it back to me.

I'd write gibberish on every page of the notebook. In every open spot of paper, all over the place not staying in the lines, writing upside down, backwards, crooked, with made up characters on every...square...inch...of...paper. Then leave it for somebody to find just to **** with them.
Put it in a fireproof steel safe with a ten digit combination, put the safe in a bigger safe, lock that safe in a bankvault with a three metre thick steel door, surround the bank vault with sentry turrets, surround that with a moat of lava, and bury the whole thing a mile below the surface of the Moon.
Save all the information in a text file. Then place that file in an encrypted file. The place that file inside ANOTHER encrypted file. Repeat this until satisfied, using a different password for each encrypted file. Now get a micro SD card. Encrypt the card and place you're onion of files inside it. Now buy a water/ fire/ nuclear holocaust resistant safe and then another slightly larger safe. Place the smaller safe in the bigger safe. Now dig a hole no less than forty-three feet and place the safe at the bottom of it. Call a local contractor and have him put an in-ground pool in your yard. Several years later, move away and tell everyone you've decided to turn your former estate into a nature preserve. Tear down any signs of your home, fill the pool with cement, and cover it with several feet of dirt. Place a totem pole in the property and place signs around the property line that the land is a private nature preserve and is not to be disturbed under penalty of law. Congratulations, you have just successfully hidden a file. Repeat as necessary.
Why hold secrets at all, if you have to write them down?
If you need to write them down, then they shouldn't be secrets.
But theoretically, if I did have secrets I needed to write down... I'd just put them in a document and make a custom encryption program, and memorize the key to decrypt it for if I ever needed to do that.
Imagine you really did do this. How would you prevent top-secret intel from being found and read by family, friends, the nosy neighbors, even Big Brother?
And I am not referring to girl crushes or what you had for lunch this afternoon. I'm talkin' incriminating evidence, your deepest darkest secrets, etc. You KNOW you HAVE to write it down, share it with another, even if that other is a piece of lined paper.
The problem will be the coming days of paranoia, because you will not be sure whether your methods were sly enough to pull this off.
So, what will you do?
I would write it in a secret place where no one would see it, then put a lock on it or place it in a safe.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

GENIUS!!!!
actually, tear out the page(s), fold the page(s) up and hide them somewhere where noone looks (like the tape deck of a broken stereo, for example)
put your hands in the air and scream **** THE WORLD!!!
