🤔 Hey, ParkNotes, newbie to the journaling/pen and paper hobby here. I want to express how timely me discovering your videos has been. I lost my wife to metastatic breast cancer two weeks ago; and keeping a diary, commonplace book, journal, and reading log have really helped me through this time. Instead of easing the pain through doom-scrolling on social media or Netflix, I've decided to get really uncomfortable and face the tragedies of life head on by writing all of it down. Nothing will change the pain of losing my love, but the way of pen and paper has provided an outlet for me to grieve well. Thank you for your videos and the passion behind them!
Brother, I am so sorry to hear this. Praying for you now! I'm really glad you're facing it head on instead of doomscrolling and putting pen to paper. These writings may become some of your most valuable possessions after this unbelievably hard season. Thanks for sharing this, man. God bless you brother
Oh man, I’m sorry. Praying for you. 1 Peter 4:19: “Therefore let those who suffer according to God’s will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.” May the Lord sustain you through this extremely hard time 🙏🏻
1. Is there a God? What is God? 2. What is truth? 3. Where did the universe come from and where is it going if anywhere? 4. What is the status of all of human nature? Are we special? 5. What's the meaning of life? Is there one? 6. What does it mean to live a good life? 7. What's wrong with the world and is there any hope? + P.S do not 'not-watch' the video, or perhaps don't discourage yourself from listening to the creator just because I provided a list. He provided tons of follow-up questions that ultimately instructs a guide on how to think deeply in complex ways that you should know about and this list was just so that you don't have to hassle yourself with rewatching the video to find another prompt. xoxo ✨✨
@@grithbrot9378 Oh no problem ! ✨✨ The point of this list was just so that you won't have to rewatch the video just to answer another question, but I made sure not to add in any of the follow-up questions as well because the creator still deserves to be watched especially that he was more on instructing a guide on how to think deeply rather than just giving a few prompts.
Shanks, this saves me a lot of pausing on my second watch-through haha. The first one is too get the general idea of the video, the second is to take notes 😅 🖋️ 🤔
I notice that each of these is a fundamental question to the different major philosophical disciplines: 1. Theology 2. Epistemology 3. Metaphysics/Cosmology 4. Philosophical Anthropology 5. Existentialism 6. Ethics 7. Social Philosophy
🖋️📓Parker, you’re filling a huge gap on TH-cam. You created the channel I wish I had started! You’re like the little brother I never had. Amazing. Never stop!
Parker! For years I've been trying to develop the habit of journaling. I've had multiple apps, with and without daily prompts, I've bought every journaling / diary-book concept known to man, and I've written two or three sentences in at least 20 different non-aesthetic looking physical notebooks. I love reflecting when out on walks, but never managed to really start taking notes. A sentence in Notes here, a recording of my voice there, but never something of true value that stuck with me. I KNEW getting the habit to stick would do me good, but never managed to do so. Then I came across your channel in june. For whatever reason, your representation of notetaking really hit me. Since then, I've written every single day in my journal, I bring a small "catch all" to work and elsewhere (it's been magical!), I bring a small "field notes" with my on both walks with my dog and when hiking in the mountains of my hometown (Norway, hey!), and I sit down with a physical notebook to take notes whenever I watch something on TH-cam or read an article. In short; it's become a life changing habit in weeks. My favorite time of day. I've also deleted Instagram and FB on my phone, and hardly ever visit the sites at all. All I want to do is either sit down and journal, take notes while reading or watching something interesting, or to go for a walk some place I can find solitude, so that I can sit down and write, contemplate and reflect. All this because of your way of presenting and talking about the art of note taking and pondering. And perhaps also due to your pretentiousness while doing so ;-) Thank you!
📓🖋🤔 I have had so many false starts over the years regarding 'journaling' of any sort, but I keep returning to it out of an inherent drive for analog recording and processing. It awakens something creative in me that is so alluring. Your videos have been really inspiring as I've started to cultivate a more robust and satisfactory journaling experience- thank you for sharing all this with us ❤
Journaled over 40 years. Checking in to modern methods. Discovered you today. Binge watching your stuff. I guess I have realized that I’ve been a closet philosopher for quite a while. Definitely an armchair of the theologian. I guess my library should’ve told me that decades ago. I am uneducated past high school, but well read.
Being well read *is* being educated. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. These degrees are mostly just a check box that you can teach yourself with greater success most of the time. - guy with B.S. of Computer Science
Parker, every video you create is incredibly insightful. You probably don’t even know the amount of impact you’re making in people’s lives. I’ve never taken a college course or had philosophical classes in high school. Your videos are a wealth of information. You’re teaching me how to think deeply, learn more about myself and understand the world.

📓 just started journaling 3 weeks ago but I am really enjoying it. I’m trying to learn to reengage my brain actively, and your ParkNotes has been invaluable! Love your well thought out videos!
📓🖋 I keep a journal/diary- just everything in one, whatever comes to mind that I have a feeling I want to write down, I write it down. I do it as a kind of meditation, to throw my thoughts out of my mind onto the paper
📓🖋️ I've been writing some kind of "logs" for the last 5 years, what happened today, what I ate, some word I heard or songs, things like that. Excellent video as always!
🖋 Great video! Love your content. The set up with the outline right infront of you is so neat and clean. Your ability to help trigger people's creativity and learning growth is awesome. Thank you for what you do.
🖋 So the question I'm most interested in exploring is #4 on human nature. I've been reading a bit of St Augustine and his discussion of the state of nature and its inherent goodness that is then corrupted, and its something that resonated with me, so it's something I'll probably expound upon. I've really been spending more time doing this kind of thinking and your videos have helped a lot with that, I look forward to more, and will be implementing a lot of these things just to help me clear and center my mind, as these kind of deep thoughts help me refine my faith and the things I believe far better than any random teacher might. Thanks again!
📓 🖋️. Journaler here. I diary each day, usually before bed, to unpack my day and quiet my thoughts. I have a box full of Field Notes books and use them to parse out various life focuses. I ditched the digital variants and have found returning to paper and pen much better and much more focused. Plus I get to use my fountain pens more. I’ve journaled off and on ever the years but have gotten more focused with it in the last couple of years. Time to get the philosophical side of things more organized and these are great prompts. I fall more in the eastern philosophy/religion view of things but have never put these views in a cohesive, singular format. That starts today.
📓. Send more prompts like that. I love them. I rediscovered my faith lately (currently reading the ecclesiastes) and i'd like to journal more about the scriptures. I adore your philosophical video, and I would like to see one video to emphasize on Christian prompts and one (another one ) on philosophy. Thank 🇨🇦
I would love to see you do a video on using a journaling Bible! It’ll be very fun to see how you think philosophically and theologically with the text of scripture
📓🤔 Thanks to you I started, during this April, to collect my thoughts in a Journal. It is truly incredible how the experience of writing can become a real moment of recollection, similar to meditation. Thank you for your advice 💪🏼
📔 I somewhat fuse diary and journal. There are days when I'm just working with thoughts, then there are days where I write about events, then that takes me into thoughts and exploration. I have a couple different notebooks with different purposes to try and keep things from getting too mixed up or bogged down, but my pocket notebook catches a ton of stuff that is humorous to look back on. I'll have a note about serial killers for a story idea I have, then immediately after is my note about better phrasing for my thesis statement., for example. Otherwise, the larger notebooks have specific purposes. One notebook per class, for example. I also have a "drop in journal," which is basically the desk version of my pocket notebook. 🖋
📓✒️I started back in early 2019 (because of Arthur Morgan) as a basic diary. It keep evolving and now has a calendar at the front, a to do at the back, a full permanent FYI section attached as a thin a5 supplement and there's a full set of index, futures based off Ryder's bullet system, Maurice move's project management system, as more of a flowchart, a separate monthly stat tracker based of Elsa Rhae's system, and basic formats of reflection and highlights. It's turned into my most important tool. I think that's the point. Just start slow and slowly start modifying your system based off what you need it to be
I actually use mine the same way! Something chewing at me and I need to think it through. Lots of times I'll just note it in my pocket notebook and then when I have time (or energy cuz that's a big part of it) I'll finally sit down and work it through
Parker -- 68yo Newbie here. Tried journaling a couple times, hard to organize my thoughts. These questions are deep, but vital…Thanks for giving me something to think about. Not getting any younger. Time to get started if it’s important to me, and it is.
📓 Very timely. I just started a fresh A5 notebook today with the intent on using it as a place for soliloquies, collected exegesis on various texts as they relate to my developing/evolving worldview, and meditations on how to approach epistemology in regards to it all. I've been trying to clarify what exactly I want to expound upon and the 7 questions gave me some great ideas. Perhaps that sounds like a lot, but to me those methods make sense as how I've attempted to tackle these questions haha.
I journal and creative journal daily, but sometimes the day's exhaustion puts a block on what flows from pen to paper. Thanks for this! Adding it to my intentions list for July to help me navigate those blockages.
🖋Journaler here, I usually use notebooks for different purposes, for example one for poetry and stuff like that, other one as a collection on some thoughts about things that occur to me, and a journal for everything like research, what i think about some stuff, a bit like using twitter
📓🖋️Hi Parker, I just wanted to say hello to you. I find your content and approach to writing fresh and inviting. As a fellow philosopher I just wanna congratulate you for your passion and hard work spreading the spark of thinking and the invitation to questioning ourselves. Greetings from Mexico. 🇲🇽
Going into inner reflection- mediative can be overwhelming if your are not " grounded" - meaning having a hold on present realty. Its blows your mind and may cause confusion of existence.
Lovely video as always! I have a question. What is that leather thing that helped the pages stay in place at the beginning of the video? Where can I get one? Thank you very much! 🤝🎩💯🏛
🖋️Good set of questions to become explicitly aware what you are thinking and why. I like explicitly the options there might not be a purpose. Also interesting to ask: must existing have a direction or purpose in order for it to be meaningful? The question of truth, specifically where is the demarcation (if any) between relative and absolute truth is a very important one. Positive channel vibe, be conscious about what you think and unraffle what you think you think and how you act, that's something I find myself very useful; specifically the delta
📓Park Notes, My Journaling has evolved through the years since I was in high school that is when it began. But I don't consider myself a Pro by any means. I love to learn everyday and improve and I feel like Journaling & Common Books has helped me do that.
First of all thanks you for all your hard work 💖🙏🏻 Second can you pls make a video about your daily routine and how you can minmalest the distraction ❤
Subscribed for the moustache. Content is a nice second. I'm a sociology major, looking to get back into just reading, thinking and writing on my own time. I do leather working, have done MMA, and love tattoos. Your channel is oddly, and welcomingly specific lol. Looking forward to diving into more
📓🖋 Love this video! Looking forward to re-watching and working my way through some (all!) of these prompts More like this please, especially with recommendations of stuff to read around each prompt. Thanks!
📓🖋 Great content keep up the good work! Probably the one I will be pondering about more is "What is truth" - especially in the time of AI this is something fundamental we should reflect on.
🤔 I've been hooked on the idea of having a sort of "second brain" by which I can observe and study it, and journaling is the best way to do it I guess.
🤔 Hello Parker. I have been writing my diaries for the last 3 months. I have not journalled yet. I am willing to try journalling next. But only now I have built the habit of writing diaries. So I think it will take some time. I started after seeing your video 3 months before.
📕Haven't made an entry since February but I guess I'm making one now. Started with logging workout sessions and then moved on to answering questions. Come to think of it, this journal has been used intermittently for a while now; I have entries dating back to 2015 and minimum 2 or 3 entries a year, with a few more some years than others. 🖋
📓Have been experimenting a lot with both keeping a diary and writing a journal for the past year or so. I'm currently keeping a daily diary, a weekly journal/diary combo, and a separate journal for just random thought output without a set schedule. My dilemma is trying to balance them all, because I feel they all have a place in my life, but also can become a tad daunting to keep up with.
I like this! Especially the random one without a schedule. You can triage your use of each one this way and fill them at different paces. Daily doesn't always mean more important, just a different function, I gotta remind myself
✒️ Keep up the great videos, could you make a video on what to journal about? Also how to come up with a prompt and how to start it. That would be awesome! Anyways, have a great day!
📓🖋 I've missed this video somehow. Over the years I've written about some of these questions in part. It will be interesting to see how it goes now. Also I personally don't see the distinction between a Journal and Dairy. The closest I get to just writing about what happened in a day is if it prompted some deep thought or strong emotions that need unpacking. It very quickly becomes more about philosophy and my worldview than what ever happened.
Love the prompts! And just to be annoying (and maybe a little bit helpful).... I take it someone already brought this up, but following etymology, a 'journal' is a daily recount of events. The Daily News is called Journal in French and Journaal in Dutch. It comes from the French word Jour, which just means Day.
Park is that pen that was just above your journal a fountain pen? Mont Blanc? Great video as always. You got me back into Philosophy after years of graduating with a collegr degree in Philosophy.
🖋📓One thing I personally struggle with when examining my world/life views is I feel like everyone has already thought of everything. Like every thought I have ever had already fits into preexisting theory, far better articulated than anything I could add to the conversation. I've sort of come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter, because writing is fun! even if everything I come up with is inevitably doomed to be derivative lol!
I tend to write about my experiences and all my analyses and thoughts regarding them, as well as existential epiphanies I have and any progressions on my view of society and the world based on my experiences and new things I’ve learned. Based on your description of journaling and diary keeping, would you say it is more of a journal or a diary?
📖 | Can you make a new video about Eros? (romantic journal) I really love that video of yours and I also didn't str writing it and you're the only one who has goes in depth about that topic so that's why I ask! 🙏
🖋The last question is the one that I will be writing about. I read every morning one different subjects and just write about what I spent time reading. It works for me and to me that is what journaling is. What works for you is how you journal. Have a great day.
The link to the book links to Cal Newport's Slow Productivity. Would appreciate if you could correct that! Planning to order the book via your link 😊. Huge fan from Thailand 🇹🇭!!

Positive channel vibe, be conscious about what you think and unraffle what you think you think and how you act, that's something I find myself very useful; specifically the delta
🖊️ What does it mean to live a good life? This is such a great question! Thanks for the great content!
📓Park Notes, My Journaling has evolved through the years since I was in high school that is when it began. But I don't consider myself a Pro by any means. I love to learn everyday and improve and I feel like Journaling & Common Books has helped me do that.
First of all thanks you for all your hard work 💖🙏🏻
Second can you pls make a video about your daily routine and how you can minmalest the distraction ❤
This is a great set of prompts. I like the Universe one best - I actually journalled a bit about that one not long ago.🖋📕
Subscribed for the moustache. Content is a nice second. I'm a sociology major, looking to get back into just reading, thinking and writing on my own time. I do leather working, have done MMA, and love tattoos. Your channel is oddly, and welcomingly specific lol. Looking forward to diving into more
Great video. It got me thinking a bit more deeply about my faith. 🖋️
Wow that's awesome! Thanks for sharing that
📓🖋
Love this video! Looking forward to re-watching and working my way through some (all!) of these prompts
More like this please, especially with recommendations of stuff to read around each prompt. Thanks!
🤔 looking forward to the journey
🙌🙌🙌
I have been journaling for 2505 days in a row. as of today.

Thanks. I feel the same way about drawing, I keep collecting empty sketchbooks bec. I won't decide on what to draw (about). ✒️
🖋 Definitely going to get my fountain pen primed and think through some of these questions. Great video idea!
Let's go!!
Thank you
🤔🖋 I really like these prompts. Gonna use them as part of my routine.
📓🖋 Great content keep up the good work! Probably the one I will be pondering about more is "What is truth" - especially in the time of AI this is something fundamental we should reflect on.
Totally! Thanks for the encouragement!
🤔 I've been hooked on the idea of having a sort of "second brain" by which I can observe and study it, and journaling is the best way to do it I guess.
🖋man you're invaluable for me currently, thank you!

🖋️📙 I've just found your channel and I wish I found it sooner!
🤔 Hello Parker. I have been writing my diaries for the last 3 months. I have not journalled yet. I am willing to try journalling next. But only now I have built the habit of writing diaries. So I think it will take some time. I started after seeing your video 3 months before.
📕Haven't made an entry since February but I guess I'm making one now. Started with logging workout sessions and then moved on to answering questions. Come to think of it, this journal has been used intermittently for a while now; I have entries dating back to 2015 and minimum 2 or 3 entries a year, with a few more some years than others.
🖋
📓Have been experimenting a lot with both keeping a diary and writing a journal for the past year or so. I'm currently keeping a daily diary, a weekly journal/diary combo, and a separate journal for just random thought output without a set schedule. My dilemma is trying to balance them all, because I feel they all have a place in my life, but also can become a tad daunting to keep up with.
🖋Haha
💪💪💪
I like this! Especially the random one without a schedule. You can triage your use of each one this way and fill them at different paces. Daily doesn't always mean more important, just a different function, I gotta remind myself
📓🖋 What does it mean to live a good life? What can I do this month to direct my life towards what I define as a good life. Great stuff as always!
✒️ Keep up the great videos, could you make a video on what to journal about? Also how to come up with a prompt and how to start it. That would be awesome! Anyways, have a great day!
Thanks!
🙌🙌🙌 thanks so much!!
🖋Thanks Parker! I feel like majority of my world is framed by Thomistic metaphysics, so these are good questions to ask.
🙌🙌🙌 let's go! Perfect!
📓🖋 I've missed this video somehow. Over the years I've written about some of these questions in part. It will be interesting to see how it goes now.
Also I personally don't see the distinction between a Journal and Dairy. The closest I get to just writing about what happened in a day is if it prompted some deep thought or strong emotions that need unpacking. It very quickly becomes more about philosophy and my worldview than what ever happened.
Great video parker
Please make a video on book recommendations of year 2024 plzzz love from india
The free will question, made me want to watch more park notes videos. Now I no longer believe in free will 😂 (jk)
This video is really helpful! 🖋️🖋️🖋️🖋️

Love the prompts! And just to be annoying (and maybe a little bit helpful).... I take it someone already brought this up, but following etymology, a 'journal' is a daily recount of events. The Daily News is called Journal in French and Journaal in Dutch. It comes from the French word Jour, which just means Day.
🖋 rally useful thanks.
🖋 great content, thank you
🫡🙌🤝
🖋Great Vid! Thank bro.
I'm still trying to get the hang of it and I've been journaling for about 3 years on and off so i need some tips😅📓
Been journaling for almost two years 📓
Are you enjoying it?
@@ParkerNotes yep
Park is that pen that was just above your journal a fountain pen? Mont Blanc? Great video as always. You got me back into Philosophy after years of graduating with a collegr degree in Philosophy.

Love this video. 🖋️

Thank you 🙏🖊️
🖋📓One thing I personally struggle with when examining my world/life views is I feel like everyone has already thought of everything. Like every thought I have ever had already fits into preexisting theory, far better articulated than anything I could add to the conversation. I've sort of come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter, because writing is fun! even if everything I come up with is inevitably doomed to be derivative lol!
📓🤔🖋️ I absolutely love your videos, god bless
@@bred1220 🙌🙌 thank you!
Don't know how emoji on phone. I've journal/diary/log for close to 50yrs. My great grandpa started me. Here for curiosities sake.
GREAT VID!!!! 🖌
Thank you!! 🤝🫡
🖋️ i’m late to this one but catching up on it as I’m up late tonight
🙌🙌🙌
🤔 what spiritual, psychological benefits may i get by maintaining a Journal?
I tend to write about my experiences and all my analyses and thoughts regarding them, as well as existential epiphanies I have and any progressions on my view of society and the world based on my experiences and new things I’ve learned. Based on your description of journaling and diary keeping, would you say it is more of a journal or a diary?
Awesome content
🙌🤝🫡
Great video😊
🤔 it’s been a few months but still learning!
📖 | Can you make a new video about Eros? (romantic journal) I really love that video of yours and I also didn't str writing it and you're the only one who has goes in depth about that topic so that's why I ask! 🙏
🖋The last question is the one that I will be writing about. I read every morning one different subjects and just write about what I spent time reading. It works for me and to me that is what journaling is. What works for you is how you journal. Have a great day.
I call it a commonplace book and write anything I want
The link to the book links to Cal Newport's Slow Productivity. Would appreciate if you could correct that! Planning to order the book via your link 😊. Huge fan from Thailand 🇹🇭!!
amzn.to/3RRh7Vv thanks!
📓 + 🤔.
I never feel like I am doing it right, and more scared of someone getting access to what I write
Them hands more expressive than my dad
🤔 I feel like I should be a journalist since I am a writer, but my fictional work is like my diary/journal.
