I have watched some commonplace notebook videos and yours was the easiest to follow and understand, thank you so much for that! Love from Brazil 🇧🇷

I started doing this in college in the early 70s. I used to tell my family that if the house caught fire, grab mom’s book and run. Everything was in there.

Came for the lovely aesthetic thumbnail and notebook content, subscribed for your wonderful personality! You sound like such a genuine and interesting person ☺ thanks for sharing about your system, it's fascinating! When you said 'I USE my notebooks' I felt a lot of guilt about the pile on my shelf... haha 😅

[calliecummings]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Echoing having watched several other videos on commonplace books and it just seemed overwhelming. I love the dots system. Thank you for sharing!

Re: philosophy. I just finished The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius. It was a difficult read, but you are younger than me so maybe you would have an easier time. 😬

First time viewer here. I had a thought about color coding - if you don’t have stickers, you could use colored pencils or pens. I even have one of those pens with four different colors of ink in it 😂

I recently fell down the rabbit hole of common placing and I love it ! I always did something similar but having a name to it and now having a proper system makes it’s so much better

[iamcheryl]

I’ve been common placing for decades and didn’t even know it 😂. BTW, absolutely love your videos. I don’t comment much because I watch on TV, but I always hit that like! I’m on a FIRE journey as well! Your videos are so helpful! Thanks for sharing!

The color coding idea is really cool. I used to try having a common place notebook but there's just so many things bunched up in one notebook that it becomes unorganized. I'll definitely use color coding next time.

[krystnhinojosa]

Can you share what cover you have for your journal (the md notebook)?

[YourRichLifeMedia]

Ive been doing this for years. I found out a couple of years ago that it is called a common place notebook but this has been my thing since I was probably in middle school. Im 42 lol

[HitchandHitched]

I don't have a commonplace system. I have it all on digital form. However, as a tactical person, I definitely like the paper system much better than the digital form. Unfortunately, having commonplace notebook in the paper version, I was afraid that all my information will get lost and I wouldn't be able to find what I need. Your system with the color coding is such a great idea. Thank you for sharing this.

[CoffeeandPraise]

Thank you for sharing all these great notebook/journal ideas! I love to journal and have done so for many years, but I want to have more organization in the journals, and I really like your color coding idea. I may have to try that.

[ThisWomansBrain]

I love your comment about scripture reading and the revelation “and this is why you need systems”. 😂 God is good.

[OnlineTherapistGroup]

Love this video…your voice, your asides, the dot organization, the notebooks, the pacing.

[GirlGeekLovesStampin]

Thank you so much for sharing! I am always looking for new ways to write more. This is cool ❤

[DavidJones-bzcz]

If you are a more visual person I’d recommend also a scrapbook. I love scrapbooks as an artists tool and you can easily make ur own! (Literally everyone has scraps of paper)
Thank you for the vid!

[rebecca]

I’m realising that I basically use my iPhone notes app for commonplacing, but I’d rather do it physically / on paper. This video was really helpful thank you :D

[Angelared]

Where did you get your pink journal cover and MD notebook. Can you tell me the name and brand?

[Antisympathy]

Do you really enjoy stationery? I’m looking to give some away that I’m not using.🙃
