**Stay until the end, where I give you ideas to make your own commonplace book feel truly magical.

I'm a voracious reader and collector of information, so when I discovered the age-old tradition of keeping commonplace books a couple of years ago, I was hooked! My first commonplace book was actually a Google Document since I already had so many notebooks and journals, but I eventually started a physical commonplace book.

In this video, I share my new commonplace book and its awesome features that will serve me for many years to come. (Filmed August 2025)

These are some of the benefits of keeping a Commonplace Book:

Captures wisdom: A place to collect quotes, insights, and lessons from books, conversations, daily life, etc.

Boosts memory: Writing things down helps you remember and internalize them better.

Organizes knowledge: Keeps scattered notes in one place, turning chaos into an ordered treasury.

Personal time capsule: Over time, it becomes a record of your growth, interests, and inspirations.

Source of inspiration: When you’re stuck, you can revisit your collection for encouragement and ideas.
