This is genius activity. I annotate the books occasionally and keep a reading journal! I never thought of keeping a commonplace journal for books I love this idea 🙏
it was nice to see a commonplace book video about them being for connection and vibes rather than performing so in regards to the call to action haha: I started for a variety of reasons but mostly I had a bit of a hoarding problem so it was an easy way to summarize and get rid of things. Basically I could take a picture of a book and write down my thoughts or quotes about it and then give the book away. Same thing went for my old notes from school after graduation, I didn't want to toss them without getting at least some information from them. So I took notes on my notes and then recycled the original material. I very quickly ended up finding out that they are quite effective for keeping track of liars as well so if anyone is dealing with that just give it a try lol
@@nikkisbooks_ there were a few other things that were equally useful when it came to dealing with the hoarding: like getting rid of 1 item every time I folded laundry or creating an emergency bag out of items I was almost ready to get rid of (which technically still worked but were clearly not meant to be used), but the digitization and consolidation into a commonplace book was still probably the most useful. when it comes to the liars though haha: focusing on one person and writing down the things they said the most frequently allowed for a sort of narrative to develop and then I could simply ask questions which would result in their behavior becoming more mentionable and thus more manageable. but that was mostly useful for figuring out how to not interact with those people anymore and not exactly a standard commonplace practice
