This is all so true, Eric! A few months ago I started carrying with me two pocket notebooks (a lined one and a dotted one) and keep them in my hands during my commuting to work on the train (which is when boredom usually hits and I scroll on social media), and I replaced that toxic and useless activity with writing on my lined notebook and drawing on my dotted one... It's unbelievable how my brain reacted to this small change: more attention, less brain fatigue, and a lot of new ideas for my YT channel flourishing out of a 'normal day' train ride, just simply living in the moment, observing and noticing life happening! :) Thank you for another great and useful video!
Even though I enjoy the animals videos, but it’s so true about the brain fatigue. I feel mentally exhausted from scrolling through many “useful” videos.
So stoked to hear that Carlo! I find public transportation such a great time to come up with new ideas. Whenever I fly, I feel like my notebooks get filled real quick haha. I appreciate the kind words man!
Hey Eric, what you're saying is 100% true, it feels so good to put your phone down and just be present for some moments! Btw, what are some of the biggest problems you faced while learning how to write?
@@ericpfohl Hey Eric, thanks a lot for your answer! I've asked many writers the same question and consistency was one of the most answered ones! Do you mind sharing more on how did you overcome it, or what do you suggest others do to overcome it?
I’ve been there! My Content Clarity Crash Course is a great place to start, as I provide 8 days of prompts to get you started! Here’s the link: ericpfohl.com/content-clarity-crash-course
If this happens to me I doodle.. just draw lots of tiny circles or stick men, or anything. If a sentence comes to mind right it down, if not it doesn't matter.
I’ve been hearing a lot about commonplace books on TH-cam lately, which to my understanding seem to be small personal reference books for noting bits of information, quotations, and one’s own thoughts and ideas for future reference. Your notebook idea seems to be a combination of commonplace book and personal journal. Is this true?
Haha I know it’s ironic! I find it’s best to remind people where they’re already at! Plus, I’m not opposed to phones - just the misuse of them with without realizing it :)

The opposite of consumption is creation. This lights up my heart dude. Keep sharing please.
Stoked to hear that Greg! Keep it up man!
i was journaling daily and really love it, but since this nursing study begin i just have no energy to do it again, hopefully can do it again soon,😢
I’ve been looking around for advice but this is the best video I’ve seen, it’s clear and concise, thank you!
Wow, thanks so much Catherine! So glad to hear that!
keep it going! i loved this video, cant wait to see more of you!
Will do - more vids on the way :)
Thank you, I’ve always associated note books with to-do lists, not just to write down my thoughts.
This could help me with some of my stress.
Glad to hear it! I find writing things down most definitely helps my stress and anxiety. Feels great to keep things in order and check them off :)
The opposite of consuming an algorithm’s suggestions, while improving your personal algorithm.
True that!
This provides even more clarity why Im in the space to do more journaling than consuming.
Heck yeah man!
Very good video, and a great subject to mull over. *Grabs notebook to mull in ink.*
That meaty stache is dragging 'round a wise fellow.
Haha appreciate you KB. Always seeking wisdom!
Thank you.
You’re welcome 😄 Thanks for watching!
Thanks 😊😊😊
🙏 Thanks for watching!

So true Arthur! Hmm, I'd say one of the main ones for me was consistency and overcoming perfectionism when sharing my work.

I don't know what to write. I am paralyzed by the blank page

Write that you don’t know what to write.

thx super mario
You’re welcome! 🥸

Yes you are correct! I typically mix up my uses for my notebooks, and most of them end up being a mix :)
thanks
🙏🙏
I'm guessing the irony of the content of this video getting watched on YT isn't lost on you.
Haha I know it’s ironic! I find it’s best to remind people where they’re already at! Plus, I’m not opposed to phones - just the misuse of them with without realizing it :)
