Great video ! I've been using a common place book since I was a child. I didn't know what it was called but I watched my grandmother with hers and decided to keep one for myself . It's a must have in my life now more than ever. We are bombarded with constant mostly useless "information". It's important to weed out what's worthy of our attention and what's just useless rot
Wow, it's crazy to know how prevalent it was less than a century ago, but now it's rarely even heard of! I like how you said "It's important to weed out what's worthy of our attention and what's just useless rot." So true! May the LORD be with you, friend. :)
Indeed Chase, in our age of the Internet, our brain cannot manage as much information. Your clever idea of using a book (to write down the essentials of this information) is a suitable solution to correct this weakness. 📖👍
Excellent suggestion and my opinion is that they are very good. - I am unfortunately lost on this point. Tried so many times and forgot all my notebooks. Nevertheless, God gives me reminders of what to remember that is good to remember. And often it is quite a lot later than I would like. But with God on the team, it always comes at the right time. Thank you for sharing Brother💯🙏💯
Excellent video, I’m just starting out with my commonplace book and already I feel more uncluttered and focused. It will allow me to gather the main points and I’m starting a new job next week so I can share it with others too. Found your communication style so comfortable and great to hear your thoughts, I learn t a lot
ayy I made it before 100 subs commonplace book but relatively uncommon videos lol I like how you mentioned the fact that people can pass them on; as historically that was incredibly valuable; and also something seniors should consider today. How do you feel about the method some people use where they have one book as a sort of intake on the specific books, and then a second book for individual ideas from the original notes? somewhat unrelated: the chapters of your video felt really good to watch - how did you plan them?
Hey there brother! Thanks for the encouragement! 1. I actually like that idea! Tbh I am a bit disorganized when it comes to jotting down reflections.😅 I write them down on whatever I have on hand and tell myself I'll organize them later, but never do. SO... I might just try that.😁 2. Thanks! It's been a learning process, but I've found writing down my main goals for the video helps me shape the chapters. For example, for this video I wrote: "What’s the point?: The goal of this video is to explain the commonplace book, the idea behind it, its benefits, and how to keep one." Then I just broke those ideas up into sections. :) Hope that helped! Thanks for the comment!😁
Hi, there! This is Cheryl, Zach's mom. I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your life for the Lord and your TH-cam channel. You and your family have encouraged us so much! I thank God for allowing our paths to cross! I pray you always stay encouraged in the Lord. I know He has His hand on your life and your brother's and sister's lives, and I can't wait to see all the wonderful things He will do in and through all of you. May He richly bless you always!
Thank you so much! It has been such a blessing to get to know your son, and I'm thankful that the LORD caused us to cross paths! Can't wait to meet you all in person sometime soon. (Your music is amazing by the way!) Grace and peace to you and your precious family!
“Coffee and rain …” Exactly! Great job! Thank you.
Beautifully done! Bravo! Your common place book is beautiful and so is your handwriting.
Thank ya! :)

The LORD certainly has a way of bringing things to remembrance just when you need it!
Good to see you, brother. :)
I recently discovered mini-essays. My learning has sky rocketed.

The Pursuit of God is a good one. :)

A modern version of this "common place book" is Obsidian.
Yea I recently discovered that program. It's definitely a great way to connect ideas and thoughts.✌️
