How to Journal (& Think) like a Philosopher
In this video, I help you understand the difference between a journal and a diary, commonplace book, compendium, book of silioques, catch all, and pocket notebook. Then I lay out three key features for actually doing philosophy or thinking like a philosopher. Then I help you journal like a philosopher by applying these essential features to journaling to help you keep a deep thinking philosophy journal. Enjoy!

It's funny because I want people to see all my journals even if they are personal. I guess I'm weird that way.
I used to think I was crazy for keeping an infinite amount of notebooks and now I think I have found my twin on the other side of the world.
Hahah yes!! There are atleast two of us now!!
Make that three 😊. I too have several note books for different uses. Thank you for such an interesting video too.
✋same thing here. Greetings from Costa Rica 📕✒️
@@minerva_luna 👋 greetings from the UK
Greetings from Brasil😅😅
I used to write diaries at the age of 9... And all I write is just a bunch of negative emotions because as a kid, I was neglected by my parents, and I don't really get any attention... And when I was 9 I used to think about death. Because I really don't feel like I exist (I feel abnormal as a kid). But now I'm 16, all my life I dedicated to my writings. I started writing journals at the age of 13.. Instead of writing negative emotions I write positive ones, and it really helped me a lot.. Now I'm 16, I'm planning of having an argument journal because I have a lot of arguments in my head.. Just mentally curious about a lot of things... This really helped me inspired and motivated to write more thank you so much ❤
Very inspiring. I don't know what you would call it, but for the past 4 years I've kept journals I refer to as my "thought books" (to which my friends snicker at the name). They're essentially written collections of whatever pops in my head at the time. Be it poems, dialogue, song ideas/lyrics, love letters, journal entries, philosophical musings, quotes, etc. Any idea worth writing down will be in those books. Sure they could be more organized, but I've found them to be more interesting to read back because of the variety. I'd recommend trying it out for anyone who finds straight journal and poetry books to be too intimidating
I love that!! Thought books sounds great
thot books heheheheheheheheeh
@@Dudik28LMAO
Sounds like what I’ve heard people call a commonplace book
I love the messiness of your writing and notesbooks. I used to bullet journal and it always stressed me to see other people with amazingly beautiful notebooks. I can't really draw and I don't want to spend hours to make it look nice, so I stopped. It's kind of stupid but I feel like seeing your notebooks gives me a permisson to get rid of my washi tape and ruler and not to worry how my notebooks looks like.
Yes! Haha you have permission. It's your tool! It's primary use is not to show off on social media. So first things first, you gotta be able to use it as a tool, if that means less than perfect handwriting then so be it as long as the tool works well for you 💪
Omg same!!! I spent days, weeks on stupid drawings, coloring etc so my bullet looked aesthetic and IG style. I wasted so much time on this instead of doing the actual work. The messiness is more appealing to me and you focus on what is the most important
Omg. So agree. I was to the point that I couldn't even break into a new journal for fear of messing it up with my handwriting and drawing. Now I know that it doesn't have to look perfect. In fact, the messy handwriting reminds me of writers of old with all their scribbles but great thoughts. It has Personality of a human being not perfection of PowerPoint presentations.
I have a Common Place notebook that I carry with me everywhere. I write down thoughts, ideas, quotes, things to remember, even recipes from a friend. I can transfer them (like the recipes), write about them in my journal, etc. I highlight things I want to repeatedly think about it and have an impact on my day. I have a Bullet Journal of sorts where I plan my day, often using time blocking to put all errands together, phone calls, and Deep Thinking for writing. Thanks for helpful video. I have a section for books, podcasts, movies... I also have a section for my Future Log and ideas for writing on Medium.
I heard another youtuber say “to say that there is one way to use what is, at the end of the day, a blank page, is the height of folly.” I kept the quote in a commonplace book to remember :)
I remember reading how Ludwig Von Beethoven would take daily walks in the park near his home. While taking his daily walks he would get inspirational musical stanzas. He would return to his home and write these stanzas in a notebook and use some of these stanzas composing his music. Upon his death there were hundreds of these notebooks. This method can be used in a number of different ways.
"To write or to scribe, it is as easy and flexible as it sounds, yet the rites of rhythm are applied, for it to give a thought and not a doubt, it is as impromptu as genuine, it is as guaranteed as certainty, to write or to scribe as it is to describe it all"
I see the Jiu Jitsu shirt bro… and the cauliflower ear. Just like the Greek Philosophers who not only were powerful philosophers, but they were also strong and nimble wrestlers and athletes. You are basically an extension of the Greek Philosophers in modern 2023.
Haha I screenshotted this one for well I'm feeling low. Thank you!
@@ParkerNotes haha!
I completely understand the separate books for different things… it’s just how some of our brains work.. I also enjoy compartmentalizing what goes into my journals. I remember looking at the notebooks section in a store, and my mom (who knows I am a notebook dragon), asking, “Are you out of paper?” And I told her, “That’s hardly the point.” 😂
after listening to your thoughts, journaling seems to be a genuinely useful tool for thinking deeply about any of our interests and hobbies. thank you for the insight and inspiration.
This an ideal comment. Thank you!
I'm currently a philosophy/theology major in graduate school. I love that you're also into both! :) Keep up the good work!
Yes!! That's awesome. So glad to have more of us here!
hey! thank you for doing this ☺ I always love to write a journal and I think I've found my brother from the other part of the world. I feel so connected to this and I am glad to finally find a brother that taught me how to journal!
The different kinds of notebooks are really interesting and well though out. My notebooks are basically all in one because I section them off. I prefer your more compartmentalized. I would love to see an episode of you discussing your ideas with John Danaher. That would be epically epic!
There are actually two John Danahers that are in the philosophy world lol. I think you're referring to the jiujitsu coach/former philosopher not the current philosopher right? I actually want to talk with both haha
Same! I even started adding fabric and stickers to my notebooks!
I'm in my late 40s, have been journaling since I was a kid. And I still haven't decided whether I want one comprehensive journaling book or multiple books. I'm not bothered by it, I'll figure it out eventually!
Figure it out and tell the rest of us haha
I’m in my 40s too and haven’t figured it out either.
I used yo tink if people found about me that i am keeping so many dairies classified for all the different thought process, they would just think i am crazy. ...but i feel so happy to see many of you like me. I wish we could connect somewhere to share the common feeling about keeping so many notebooks and never getting tired of writing it the entire day
Maybe I'll add a section to my discord server for ParkNotes noteheads like you and me and other to talk all about notebooks and books
@@ParkerNotes sureeee thing would love to join 😁
Thank you, I sincerely enjoy your presentation style and information given. Please keep up the great work. I enjoy your definitions of a Journal, Diary, Common Place work and compendiums. Wishing you all the best!
Thank you for showing half-filled pages. That's a comfort I didn't know I needed
Lol I run outta steam too!
@@ParkerNotes but you don't feel obligated to finish that page! You move on to the next without (I assume) any guilt!
@@arguserhardt8244 depends. I do go back on old thoughts and if there's something there I'll add to it and add the date of a revision or addition so I can see progress
Thanks for this video bro, really helped me alot i been trying to do journaling but for me i never really understood the concept of journal ing, diary, and thank you for the examples they really helped me understand it a lot easier
It's sort of comforting to see somebody with as many notebooks as I have. I'd be interested in how you store both your current and archived journals.
Piles on my desk lol but my wife is helping me organize them on a bookshelf
So well formed and arranged for our consumption. Thank you for your work!!!
Now i know where to start my journey of deep thinking. There were times, when I made fool out of myself, by not being able to explain my thoughts. Need to sharp my mind by questioning, THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR!
Love this. Thanks for sharing the way you journal.
Lovely video. I am 17 years old and have recently taken a dive head first into philosophy. I’ve started reading a ton of philosophy and though to myself, how can I implement philosophy into my daily life? Then I found this video. Even though it is a lot to wrap my head around, I am fascinated.
this really inspired me to get a journal or two and start thinking deeper about things, and not go on my phone when im bored. thanks for your great videos
Im glad to have found your channel. I also train jiu jitsu and have a immense passion for philosophy. Its cool to have cauliflower ear and be a philosopher.
Haha yes! I keep finding more of us! So glad to have you here.
Thank you for flipping through and showing everything. Seeing the "pretty" notebooks that other youtubers make disuaded me from starting, but seeing your notbooks with some blank pages, some crazy sodeways writing, and some structured stuff helped me to do the hard thing and just start wring things in the dang book lol
I'm sooo glad! Yeah I started just for myself and only realized that people make them really neat and clean after 10 years of doing it myself lol
I love this ❤❤❤ I'm 51 and ive always kept multiple journals and notebooks for different things. Thats just the way my brain functions. I have always kept a journal. Its like threapy on paper. And i do my bible study and keep orher notebooks for different reasons .glad i ran across your channel..very interesting and relatable and refreshing. New follower ❤
нас учили этому в школе! спасибо, что разложили наконец то, по чему я так соскучилась,!!!
Park, you've literally changed my life. I've always been very notebook-oriented, but I forced myself to stick to digital mediums as they were supposed to be more "efficient". But does that even matter when you don't even use those commonplaces you've set up in Obsidian or Notion? Since I found your channel, around 1 month ago, I've implemented basically all the notebook types you show here, plus others I deemed necessary for my personal use. You present ideas I haven't seen around here on YT, at least not so well explained. Not like I'm too much into the YT notebooks niche, I confess, as I find it sort of repetitive, yet certain videos of yours have been revealing and a good watch. So far, I already can see results in my thinking process and depth, and how I propose more valuable thoughts/questions/ideas. Unlike digital mediums, using notebooks is the perfect fit for me; I carry them around all the time, like a baby carries their toys. I've rewatched this video many, many times, just like your recent pocket notebooks video (also amazing). I can't wait for your video on commonplace books. I hope it's very informative and surely is interesting.
I screenshotted this. Thank you so much! I'm glad to have you here and I'm glad you think I'm unique in this space, that's huge.
Another great video! You are a big inspiration to me parker. Thankyou for everything you do here on youtube.🤝🏻
So glad to have you here!! Especially with that amazing user name or tag or whatever it's called now haha. 🤝
I love this!! Would love more videos on this topic! Journals are one of my biggest hobbies and I have sooo many. I 100% think this sort is missing from my line up so I’m going to add it!! I love new ways to use a notebook!
🙌🙌 awesome!! So glad to have you here!
Can you go more in depth about the content of your journals? Like how and what do you write in your compendium and stuff?
Yep. Lots of videos planned on this!! Stay tuned 😁
Great video, Parker! Thank you for all of your hard work.
😍
I think so much that sometimes I don't know how to give my own opinion, but I do believe that with this method I will be able to give more structured arguments to any topic I am asked about. By the way, have you never thought about making a video on how to start reading philosophy? I'm interested in it but I don't know what books to read or how to start and probably some people are having the same situation. Anyway, thanks! This video has motivated me a lot.
after ton of "productivity/journaling" videos,.. now i get it from you. i mean i can benefit from your "philosophy" here. i think i was missing that, the "meaning" of journal, diary, commonplace etc. and yeah, that's the answer. i take your journal method, combining with zettelkasten for personal knowledge management.
Thank you for this informative video, it really gave me ideas on how to manage my thinking, throughout the day I have so many ideas and thoughts that literally make me go insane sometimes, I never thought of writing them down and doing an argument using my thoughts, I will be doing this method definitely
I'm so glad!!
Thank you for sharing. I will definitely come back to this video and get your different types of journals straight and decide what I want to apply to my own thought process. It is so refreshing to see an advocate for paper Journals. I was into Building a Second Brain by Tiago Forte but I can't bring myself to have a proper digital notes setup. I wish I would have had your channel back when I was a philosophy undergrad. Maybe I wouldn't have quit.
I'm about to start reading Forte's book to see if there are any good insights for analog commonplace books and to say I've read the digital alternative when people harangue me about the book lol
I'm slowly catching up after a long summer with the kids off school. I really love your videos, they are so different to other things and I really like seeing how you used them, how you think and feel about them. I find it inspirational and motivational. I'm due to start my postgraduate studies in Criminology in a week, and after watching your videos I have decided to start one specifically for my course modules to write down my thoughts on theories etc. Thank you.
I'm so glad you like them! And congrats on the new studies!! Such a good subject. I hope to make a lot more on note taking habits that have helped me soon. Thanks again
@ParkerNotes I've always kept journals, commonplace, etc, but I tend to put a general subject in them rather than specific, so I think this will help me a lot, especially when figuring out where I sit with certain theories, policies etc. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you come out with:)
@@emielou oh yeah!! Narrowing down is the best. I like saying compartmentalizing but I know lots of people don't like that term because of psychology 😅 glad to have you on this journey with me!
my urge to buy good amount of hardcovered pretty notebooks is insane after seeing your collection. i really love it, man.
Woah, this is a really cool video that i’ll save and rewatch it again! I really needed this! ❤
That's fantastic!! So glad you like it. Thanks!
Thanks really❤ 14mins made my way, how to keep a dairy. My favorite is : to think on quotes. And I'll really need that because I am becoming a writer.
im 15 and I keep a journal, I just found ur channel and I love it :) keep up the good work!!
Thank you! Good work starting young!
@@ParkerNotes ❤️❤️❤️
I love the multiple notebooks. Lord knows I’ve collected quite a few blank books. I really want to see something on your pocket notebook, your capture methods, and your workflow for processing the info on your pocket notebook.
Hopefully that's the next video 🤞
Beautiful notebooks and journals❤. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! 🙌
It's my first time here. That is one mighty moustache my good sir. Majestic.
I’ve just finished watching all of your videos and it’s like all of my learning problems just blew away 😂
Haha let's go! Get some more so I cab make more videos
Once again, very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for this great video. This has really gotten me thinking about thinking.
I love that!!
Excellent video on the benefits of keeping a journal and the different types of notebooks.
Thank you!!
Highly appreciate the example!
🙌🙌 thank you for saying so! Was worried and almost cut it
An intellectually stimulating video that invites contemplation on the diverse threads woven into the human experience. As one who navigates the realm of baldness, I'm intrigued by the profound symbolism encapsulated in that glorious mane.
I love your channel! So inspiring.
I love your name!
You are inspiring me bro. Great job!!!
Thanks!! That's so encouraging!
This is actually great advice for science writing too.
Cool. Now I need a journal, a diary, a pocket notebook, a compendium, a soliloquy, and a commonplace book. I only ever had journals. Have like 12 filled up. Might have six more per year or two if I follow through with this lol. Maybe more! I’ve a social sciences and history (area studies) background and still remain deeply invested in them and in literature and linguistics. Might need 4 commonplace books just for each lol. Thanks for this. Love your videos on this channel! 😊
Haha awesome! Take em slow. I'm always in a rush to fill all of mine up but the process is part of it. Chewing on ideas. Redoing a page to help you better recollect or find the idea more easily next time, etc.
About 10 years ago I used to write a notebooks or random pieces of paper, and I loved reading them and seeing the different things that I thought of. But then one day I decided to digitalize everything. It just seemed much simpler for reorganizing for keeping things. And I've been doing that for 10 years. I have different documents for random quotes that I like or from things that come from myself. But it's not the same. And there is a uniqueness when you write something and your own handwriting. Unfortunately I have damage in my hands so My writing is very hard to read. Now that I use stuff digitally speech to text works but there's a lot of errors there as well. I like the organization of digital journaling. My pocket notebook is basically my phone. But I do like the personalization of a hand notebook. Trying to think of how I could change things and incorporate stuff again in one way or another
I really love your videos. You inspire me.
Thank you!!
Wow it was such a helpful video I've been thinking to start a deep thinking journaling now I got some idea how to start, thanks:)
Yes! This is great to hear! Thank you
Great video, Parker! Thank you for all of your hard work.. I love this!! Something to listen to everyday!.
🙌🙌 wow, thank you!!
This is ' Highly' Encouraging and Enlightening!!!
Thank you! I'm so glad!
This just popped up on my feed, I've never met you before. I'm a writer and I keep a personal daily diary, I realised I'm keeping a 'diary' by your definition,but I have been keeping a 'journal' by saving different Word documents with my ideas and arguments on hoping to eventually write an essay.🤷🏽 This video has helped me learn what I've been doing for the past year,and now I'm going to transfer all the blank word documents with bullet points on into a 'deep thinking journal', then write the essay 🙌🏽. 🤔 I might need a 'catch all notebook' too, so I can stop using the Word documents. You know, I have so many notebooks 😆 and pens 😳. If you ever read this ,thank you and love from Europe 🌍 you have helped me get clear in my mind over what I've been doing for so long and how to do it better.💯
This is so fantastic!! Thanks for taking the time to write it all out. Thank you from Illinois!
You know it's 9am I just dropped my son off to school, I'm on a park bench with my 'deep thinking' journal about the try your tips 💯. Keep well.
Great video man, atm I just use one catch-all notebook for my thoughts, but after this video I will start sifting through and transfer them to a compendium book.
Awesome bro!! I'm pumped my video was an inspiration
Thank you for this. I'm going to try it
Yes! Awesome!!
Another good video. Loved the idea of a capture book. This is a key takeaway for me, so would really appreciate a separate video on this. Can you link the covers for your notebooks please? I struggle to find any good ones on Amazon.
I got the actual notebook links in the description
I’m looking for the leather covers not the actual notebook.
¡Muchas gracias! Es un método que te ayuda a pensar mejor. ¿Podrías hacer un video sobre como llevar un diario intelectual?
You've made my mind, starting soon!
Fantastic!!
Brilliant, thank you!
🙌
Fantastic! You inspired me to crack open a new Moleskine and use it to collect my reflections on books and articles I read, videos I watch etc. Apart from my regular diary. May I ask how was your journey into philosophy? How and why did you get started? Thanks a lot!
Thank you!!
My present setup for a thoughtbook: A4, checkered paper, 4 columns on each double page, indented text / outline for notes, plus diagrams plus mind maps, plus footnotes plus miscellaneous remarks and spontaneous ideas in column 4. For stimuli-driven brainstorming, 2 or 3 or 4 prefab boxes in each column, each box with an idea stimulus as a writing prompt and the option to jump between boxes. Moreover, a large modular set of thinking tools on a corkboard in front of my desk - how to set a focus for the next "unit of thinking", how to ask questions, how to reflect, how to identify obstacles, how to generate new ideas, how to criticize, how to view things from new perspectives and lots of other stimuli.
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing this. I gotta check back in and see if I can incorporate some for myself
When I finished the first 5 minutes of the video. My mind was blown. I just started a diary writing journey. I may reach that level of writing and reviewing one day or perhaps I might get bored and move away from writing down things.
Thanks for the advice
Thank you!
Thank you video is very useful, i wanted to study philosophy but ended up studying economic cuz I don't want to be without a job after college.
This makes me feel much better about the several notebooks I have spread around my home
So glad to help! Together we can withstand the attacks of our friends and families lol
I've been carrying a notebook and pen for many years. It helped me write 4 books while working a 60+ hour a week job. looking forward to more from ParkerNotes@@ParkerNotes
7 months ago I bought a planner b/c it was the nightmare before christmas themed and it was on clearance. To say it has changed my life is a bit of an understatement. So here I am, patiently waiting for my scheduled planner day to set up for 2024; struggling as i've realized I have graduated to 4 various writing books. One for wood working projects, one for daily planner, one for big feelings, and one for business related activities. After only a few months with my big feelings journal and well, lets be honest, I've already finished writing in one book and tucked away for my kids to find long after I am gone. I love having an area to get out all my big feelings, but SIR! here I am freaking ready to go break into wm on the one day of the year they are closed so that I can go get yet another book to write down all the philosophy ideas I have. I had no idea what a rabbit hole I would progress down by buying a simple planner on clearance.
I probably won't keep this many books. For me it would just get too overwhelming characterizing everything. I did that with my drawing books and just categorising everything and it just made me stop drawing in those completely. I'm not saying you shouldn't keep these many books but rather that they just don't work for me. Tho I'm definitely gonna buy a diary and a journal. Cuz as you say, I don't get difficult thoughts every single day abt why I'm feeling this or feeling lost in life.tho they come by atleast twice a week. So gonna just keep a diary for everyday writing and just how I felt and what I shoulve done better. And a journal for ideas I have, why do I do this, why am I like this.
Awesome! Yeah I'm kinda weird and really thrive with compartmentalizing and then synthesizing from those different compartments. But I love that you're gonna start one for each. So cool!
Loved the video. Just recently I experienced the desire to become... More well spoken, smartere, thoughtful and like I speak with purpose and considered what comes out of my mouth. Also to think more deeply, be more reflective and have a more philosophical mindset Just one of those random thoughts and desires you sometimes have. This video was a great introduction to that! Appreciate it very much. On a different note: loooove all your notebooks. Where did you get some of them? Im looking to get a new one :)
For notebooks, the links are in the description!
I'm so glad my video is a step on your journey! Keep going!💪
I'm just getting started with Philosophy!
Welcome!!
@@ParkerNotes 😊
Same - Perth Western Australia😊
I keep an audio journal for my daily diary. The app I use transcribes it so I can talk through my day (at the end of the day) and then if I need to search up a day or even search the whole text file for something in particular, I can.
Hello! I really love this video, fantastic journals and notebooks. They are like my friends to me :)
Awesome! Thank you so much
Thanks for the great content! :)
🙌
I promise I will come back to this video after I go looking for that Marvel journal. I had that exact one! I hope I still have it somewhere.
I bought like 10 of these and the spiderman one cuz I liked then so much
I almost got the Spider-Man one. I bought the one in your video twice and one specific character. I can't remember if it was The Incredible Hulk or Iron Man. What made you buy it?
@@C_omics I love old-school comic art
Nice collection of journals ❤
Thank you! Still trying to convince my wife of that fact lol
I’m inspired and I’m going to start doing this myself
Let's goo!
This is top notch. Great idea.
Thanks! Appreciate you.
I think they're too many notebooks to deal with, but the idea is great. Your content is amazing, btw. Brazilian greetings. 🇧🇷
Yeah I am peculiar. I doubt anyone else would like to keep as many as I do but hopefully someone will be inspired to keep one or two of the different styles I present. Thanks for the love!
Thank you for share!
Thank you!
Great video, many thanks!!
Thank you!!
I've thought of keeping a book of thought-provoking quotes. I used to write a blog and was told it read very like a public diary.
Hey parker, new subscriber- thanks for the video, it helps me get of an idea of how to get started and maintain these collections, do you mind sharing where you got the notebook with the tree design? all your books are beautiful.
Thanks for the advice!! I have 2 note books and my notes on my phone. Im into philosophy and theology but I’m a respiratory therapist 😆
Wow! You have some broad interests! I can dig it
Thank you so much. I am a late bloomer when it comes to processing myself through books. I love processing my thoughts and feelings. I rather spend time for wisdom than earning money. I am not ready to work, most especially in Sales because it seems that when one appreciates being a lover of wisdom, one would consider earning money and being a Lover of Gain - non sense for a while. I just don't need money for now since I really don't consume much. My family is feeding me, giving shelter and supports me in being an academic writer of Math. I can see value to my time when I study Maths, Philosophy and Psychology. Hence, I consider myself - a late bloomer as a lover of wisdom. What do you think? Why am I not a lover of money, lover of gain now that I have discovered the joy of reading, studying and writing (publishing Math vlogs and Math teaching materials). Thanks again for being a great KZhead educator. It guides us aspiring Philosophers. God bless you always. #from Cebu, Philippines
Вы просто не повзрослели и сидите на шее у своей семьи.
I've been keeping a journal for almost ten years now and after watching this great video I've been wondering when and how did your start studying philosophy. Keep up the great work!
I started through Theology and I had a friend studying philosophy in his undergrad and he was so wise and so good at reasoning. It felt like he had a super power haha
I, too, am fascinated by AI. I'm a cybersecurity professional and am exploring the moral/ethical implications of creator bias in model training and hallucinations. I think getting these thoughts out of my head onto paper would help me greatly. Not to mention how models can be attacked by malicious actors, e.g., posioning. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on AI and have the AI and God podcast episode in my queue. Appreciate ya!
This is awesome! I'm really glad to have you in the audience. Means I can drop some more technical type stuff in here and there and know someone will appreciate it! I'm really interested in and terrifying by adversarial attacks where someone exploits the goofy problems that arise from deep neural nets only working with syntax and not understanding what's going on. Like changing a pixel in a picture and throwing the whole system off even though the picture looks exactly the same to the human eye. Scary stuff!
@@ParkerNotes yes exactly! You get it. It is terrifying and so complex. Also interested in how we use anthropomorphic terminology to explain AI behavior.
I've only watched a couple of your videos and I am impressed by: 1. your moustache. I love it. 2. how many books you've read and how much you journal I have several journals that I have mostly used as diaries but would like to get into the habit of journalling. I "struggle" with thinking. Get lost in thought, get distracted by something and then don't remember where I was, or I just cannot get past the surface. I guess writing it all down would help more. Thanks for sharing. Out of curiosity: how many journals do you have? I imagine a a shelf full :D
Since I was 10 years old, I have enjoyed writing my diary and thoughts! Although with several breaks in between! In fact, I think that being written has another depth and beauty. However, I think that the hybrid mode is more effective as information is not lost. And it's more robust to find the records!
А мечтаю быть не эффективной. Вообще расслабленной без беготни за эффективностью.
i think ive been doing this, kinda of, my whole life without exactly realizing it. ive always made types of video game compendiums where ill have a part of a notebook dedicated to one game and it'll have spell info or boss info n things like that and the whole reason i do it is so i dont need anything else with me except the game and the notebook. if the net goes down or anything like that i have my notebook. if i somehow forget something in a game ive played a million times, i have my notebook. ive always wanted to expand from just video games but i never knew how to do it or what to do and this vid helped with that. i have a lot of empty notebooks from said video game writings too lol.
Awesome! So glad to help even in a small way
thank you so much you helped me
Let's go!!
