Ooh, I haven't heard of the commonplace book before but I love the idea. I add things into my daily bullet journal or my phone but then, as you say, they are scattered and haphazard. I'm definitely going to give that a try
Love the idea of a commonplace book! I have screenshots and pieces in my notes, and I struggle to find what I’m looking for. This would be so helpful! I’m going to give it a try.
It’s an interesting name - commonplace - I wonder where it came from? I’ve only been writing in mine for a couple of days but I’m already noticing the broad range of sources I’m taking inspiration from.
We tell ourselves to just let it go but it’s not always that easy, is it? Physically shaking it off can make it more doable, I’d love to hear how you get on with it 😊
A commonplace book sounds wonderful! This might defeat the purpose, but I would love to find a digital one, where I could collect and organize my screenshots and add comments, etc. Do you know if such a thing exists?

It’s a great idea, isn’t it? I wonder how long it’s been around for. I’m already liking having one place for all those bits and pieces.
I’ve found a spare book, and I’m going to doodle in it later today. It is an interesting name though 🤔

I know Michael Dean here on Substack writes logloglog which is a compilation of his daily logs. I find that practice fascinating.
This sounds so interesting, Perzen, I haven’t thought of writing a daily log, I’ll check it out, thanks. Do you do it?
Ah thank you for mentioning me! :)
You're welcome, thanks for sharing your love of your commonplace book!
Great post! We’d do well to shake it off for sure!

Have you looked at Evernote? I think you can save different types of things with that app.
