🤔 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!

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 ✨✨

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 YouTube 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!

🖋️📓Parker, you’re filling a huge gap on YouTube. You created the channel I wish I had started! You’re like the little brother I never had. Amazing. Never stop!

[cracklingsoda]

You are making great changes in others' lives. Keep em comin. I would love if you could make a single dedicated video on just reading logs.

[deriegle]

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.

[benjishama]

I've been watching you for over a year, genuinely one of my favourite youtubers. Keep making videos!

📓🖋🤔 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. Dr. Anderson is a personal friend of mine by the way, and I will have lunch with him tomorrow and his family.

Journing for the past 18 years. Your journaling point ideas makes it more organised to reflect back.😊 I am going to start today on it.

📓 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

🖋 honestly, your videos are such high quality!! They make me think, and I love that ❤

📓 🖋️. 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.

📔 Journaling for many years. Naturaly moved from a diary style into what is no partialy commonplace and writing through my thoughts. Leaning into philosophy. Enjoy your chanel. 🖋

[edopenroz]

📓🖋️ 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!

[seekingcelestialgrace]

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.
