Back to the question raised in the OP. For me I like to keep my secret phrases or passwords on a booklet containing other valuable articles and write-ups. Writing it on a booklet or two booklets as a way of duplicating them helps much. Copying passphrases/passwords online or storing them on the cloud or emails is a no-no for me. I like to keep it simple. Don't use a distinct booklet. Let it be on a booklet that won't trigger scrutiny of preying eyes. Then, sensibly leave the booklet at a place that won't make it look like you're hiding anything. After all, they say the best way to hide something is to expose it.
Your train of thought prompted me to "spy" idea. Why not write seedphrase on the booklet (or other paper or not paper only) using ink that can only be seen under certain lighting conditions? For example, ultraviolet. This way, by chance, no one will be able to see what you wrote, because the text in the booklet will be colorless under normal lighting.
