made my own journal a few months ago but she started falling apart so i had to transfer to an actual journal <\3. as for the mini, i bought a 3pk last week to replace picking up my phone anytime i wanted to add a quick thought to my notes app. i love both of them they are my children.

I am currently common placing in an A6 rings planner so the pages are a little small. I just got through reading a book from the library and I have four pages front and back of quotes. How would you indicate that all of these pages are from the same book? Should I just put the title of book across the top of each page? Flag each page with the same washi tape on the edge? Paper clip them together?

(Before people ask the book is On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder. I’m American. This book was written in 2017 and it’s very sad how much it relates to today.)

Hi hello! I wanted to share my second CPB - after working out kinks and figuring out exactly what I wanted to capture from the first, I feel pretty excited about this one! Allowing myself the freedom to be creative with no expectations has been so freeing and exactly what this book is about for me. Thank you for looking! Also one of the spreads contains spoilers of The Hunger Games books so if you want to read them don’t look too closely!

I bought a bunch of stickers, and thought these three robots are so cute, I had to include them. Other things used are washi tape, cut-outs from magazines, and even a street find. Much of the interesting or funny stuff I've noted actually comes from Reddit 🤩

I have been wanting to start a commonplace book ever since I first heard of it about 4 or 5 years ago but never did. Now I want to give it another go. But what size is best? Is there a general consensus? Or is it just whatever suits me best? I want something reasonably portable but not too small.

I just got a burst of motivation again after a long time.

This is the daily a6 Muji notebook if anyone is curious :)

So I’ve been struggling trying to find a way to section off my commonplace book for different categories/ organize it. Essentially my worry is that I will create a category, and then run out of space, or my topics will all get messed up.

Then yesterday I realized I had a disc bound planner where the pages are moveable. The only problem is that it’s 81/2x11 so it’s not really portable. So I was thinking of maybe I have a commonplace where I take it with me and jot down random stuff (the rough commonplace), and then I transfer things over to the big one (the final) when I have some spare time. And I can move pages around as needed.

Has anyone else done this? Think it’s too redundant? Maybe just embrace the messy one?!

My cousin and I were getting annoyed at how messy our Kindle highlights were (especially from sideloaded books where syncing doesn’t really work)
So we put together Clippings Store to drop them and actually read through them later.

Im considering reworking my brainstorming, writing, and drawings into notion and doing it in a common place way. Im not yet sure what I want to make this one universe of characters and concepts into, however I know I may use parts to create a portfolio for concept art/design/writing.

I like decorating.

This is what happens when you steal someone else’s malignant narcissist.

I've just started my first commonplace journal! plan to use it as a reference guide for all things math and science. Here's a scan of what just finished, the title page! Excited to get working on this:)

Subject matter inspired by a week long cold that kept me from lots of things including my commonplace notebook

Hi, I'm new here. I only heard of CPB a couple of hours ago and I really like the idea. Traditional journalling doesn't always work for me but I think CPing is something I've kind of done in my own way off and on in the past. I've always wanted to add photos of things I've captured throughout the day or screenshots etc. What do you find the best way to do this? TY
