Renee and Nadja check out Eric Pfohl's video "Remember everything with this pocket notebook system" If you want to skip the preamble discussion involving Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, go to timestamp 0:16:02:00 😅 Watch the full original video
TLDR: Commonplace notebooks are a valuable tool for collecting and organizing ideas, quotes, and resources. They help process and synthesize information, allowing you to create new content. While pen and paper are often preferred, digital formats can also be used for quick note-taking. These notebooks serve as a collection of favorite bookmarks and underlinings, improving knowledge and sharing wisdom. Even if you're not a creator, they can be beneficial for observing details and documenting your life.
