Can't speak for newK, but for me its because there are certain things I want embedded in the paperwork. If these items were at the end, Id probably leave the rest intact. I like to tear off the very top of the weather brief which has the flt #, cty pair, rel #, disp #, rte, out and in times in both Z and local. I put this on the yoke clip and also use it to jot down SOB, Blk, T/O, min fuel, zfw, etc. Also, I tear off the flight attendant briefing form that has our names, flt time, and I add the destination wx and ride info(only if expecting greater than lt chop/turb) So to get those 2 items separated it requires tearing the entire package into about 3 pieces.

I'm still curious why you like to split the thing up, turning one document into four. Do you have different places that you put each new document? Otherwise, you now have four documents instead of one and when you want to find something you have to first sort through the stack to find which document contains what you're looking for. It just seems to me that it's easier to have one document, be familiar with the format so that you know the order in which things appear, and then you (and your F/O) are picking up the right document (the only document) on the first try and you can flip right to what you're looking for.
