    I immediately got a commonplace book after watching your original video! it’s such a game changer for me especially since it’s not natural for me to self-reflect/journal thoughts! i enjoy this perspective so much more

    Someone on Reddit mentioned that it could be a personal encyclopedia and I was thinking of making my commonplace journal something like that. A place where I can write about new facts about animals and such and world history.

      That's what I'm doing with mine, I like to collect a lot of information (some useful, some not so much) because I like the idea of being knowledgeable lol
      I find difficult mixing information that is mine with info that is not (?) like, I don't like the idea of putting my own thoughts (don't know why) but I'm working on letting some parts of me in that commonplace so it could be less of an encyclopaedia. For example I could write why I felt the need to copy that information or the thought process behind, for example I was researching which animal grows the most in his life (relative to its size) and I found about atavism lol

    Sis, thanks for breaking this down in layman terms. I don't mean to sound pick me, but nearly all of the commonplace book explanations I've seen on YT make it sound so esoteric and specifically academic so thanks for speaking in a way that's accessible ❤

    You're passion is palpable and made me want to have a common place book. Unfortunately, I'm also lazy! But I've also been wanting to remove myself more from social media and learn more things that interest me and document this knowledge. I need to stop relying on motivation and just do the things!

      @lovecarmella 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Do it ! I used to have one years ago, but I stopped because I wasn't motivated anymore, but now looking back, it is so worth it, especially for your mental health and its such a nice thing to look back to :)

      @@lovecarmella Thanks for the input! Sounds like we should both move past our lack of motivation and just do it. I hope you get back into it too. I was thinking last night about it. I'll have to look at my pile of notebooks and see which one fits the bill!

    i use sketch books to take notes from the books i read. I have stored them at my warehouse at work. The other day, we sold the company, but they said, Frank we have your note book. Yes, I saw 2008. The books I read and my mind set was differnt. Before I lost my parents and freinds. Life was much simpler and the more I found more books on lost and yes, These note books are holding our set in time. Great talk.

    thank you very much! i've always thought that my usual journal needed a second part because it wasn't getting all of what i wanted to express in it, and having both a journal (kinda use it like a sketchbook) and a commonplace book is all i needed!!

    I like how you include all the possible things to add - rather than simply one thing you happen to like. It really helps push the usefulness of the concept in connecting disconnected ideas. btw nice chapters!

      @boushae6364 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      She said before a journal is more focused on going in depth emotionally and more long winded lengths of text about situations in your life and deeper thoughts and a commonplace book is more chill and short little bits of information with the goal of learning who you are and what you like x
