I have so many notebooks and journals I need to put to use. I just always hesitate because I don't want to accidentally "ruin" a page. Sigh lol.
Just start. You're totally free in your notebook, no rules, no right way. And personally the page I first think are "ruined" always ALWAYS end up being my favourite page ! There can be so much beauty in chaos ♡
Raven thank you! And that's really nice that they turn out to be your favorite page. There's always beauty to be found💜
Oh my gosh I know the feeling! And then I keep buying them forgetting them I get so nervous about perfection haha
Me too 😂🤦🏼
Sammee~~
Normal people: commonplace book
Me, an intellectual: paper Pinterest
Beyond My Thoughts yesss 😂
Same
Me, a genius: Second Brain with Notion
Mind blown 🤯
PAPER PINTEREST OMFG
I never heard the term "common place book" I guess I've always had one 😊
Dezzychuuu me too! Just didn’t have a name for it before this video
This whole time I've could've had a name for it?!
same
Yea... me too
the very term common place book was used in a series of unfortunate events
Apparently I’ve been doing this my whole life and just didn’t know it was a thing lol
same here, even though I've been doing this for less than a year
Same dude
Same here! !!
Lol same but mine did not look that aesthetic
Same ! I’ve also been collecting funny quotes my friends and family say over the years 😂😂
"bad drawings"
YEAH RIGHT I DONT BELIEVE YOU
monbebe! ❤️ that pic of kihyun 😔❤️
@@ell6879 UwU I'm a min stan but this picture swerved me into being a kibebe
YEAH I DO BELIEVE YOU, THEY ARE TERRIBLE DRAWINGS. EVEN THIS IS BETTER ->
Monbebe here too :)
@@mafe7936 monbebes unite!!!!
This really helps, people! When I switched to one scrappy notebook to just throw everything in, my life changed. It took the pressure off of it having to be pretty and to have separate notebooks for each topic. It's a place to scribble and to let perfectionism stand aside for a while. I use thin, cheap notebooks and everytime I filled one, I go through everything that is still relevant (quotes, recipes, lists, etc) and mark it. This then goes into a pretty notebook, a kind of encyclopedia of my journey. Then in the end of the year I gather all the individual notebooks into one big book, and voilà, there's my pretty diary of the last year! No fuss and highly adaptable!
That sounds like a really great idea, I'll try it!
@@nicoalbarn Have fun! 📖
I thought to myself what do you do when you fill up a journal. So this is a good idea. Compile them all into one.
I did the exact same thing but I just can't get myself to sort through it and rewrite the good stuff 😭
That's a super great idea.
nobody:
jordan clark: you should start a commonplace book
me: *IS DOING IT*
michellaacc SAME! 😂
Fun historical fact:
Commonplace books were used by monks during the early Renaissance. They would categorize the quotes and scriptures to make them easier to find later. Encyclopedias wouldn't really come along to replace them until much later. So basically commonplace books were the first Google.
Hello Hannah! How are you doing and where are you from?
Oh kool! Thanks for that. Monks also make Mead. Hhhmmmm, wonder if they sip it whilst jotting in their Commonplace Book? (She queried with a British accent).
Thank you for that info!!
Thanks for the information!
Thank you for sharing. I love little facts about things that aren't well known. That is so interesting.
I keep quotes and lyrics in the notes on my phone but the idea of moving them and continuing them in a lovely little notebook makes it more special
Transfer them to your notebook! My phone died on me last year and I hadn't backed it up, so I lost everything :(
Emily F I haven’t had the storage to back up my phone in a while so I for sure will. I don’t want to lose everything
@@biglaundry5046 If you can, download the Google drive app and store the big stuff there and delete the app when you need to! Wish I had thought of it sooner-- good luck!
Emily F thank you so much! Good luck to you too
Haha me too
Wow this is refreshing to watch. Someone speaking in a normal tone of voice, no exaggerated affect or loud obnoxious voice, and not hyper ☺
Is this a jab at my girl JoJo Siwa?? 😂
(JK but for real,,, an icon)
I literally subscribed just because of her voice🤣
@@jomariechambers5445 me too!
I know right!! Sometimes when i click in a youtube video and someone starts speaking like HI GUYS WELCOME BACK TO MY CZcams CHANNEL TODAY i immediately quit it hahahahaha
That is why she is my favorite CZcamsr.
Omg I never heard anyone explain why we hoard notebooks in such perfect way.
The original Pinterest. Finally! A NAME for my fav hobby. Saving quotes, songs,ideas, revelations and inspirations.thankyou so much for this! The name sounds so final and sound. Balm to my confused mind.
Yes! I didn't know it had a specific term! I tend to write my dreams down as well.
I do this all the time but didnt think to put it all in one notebook !
“Balm to my confused mind.” Love that!
jordan everything you do is so beautiful and aesthetic 😩😍 i don't know how you do it
She literally looks like a new version of Mona Lisa
vellichrxx Tæ omg she kinda does!
But with eyebrows
I'm starting one now, with the first page saying: "We're taking in so much information that it's all useless unless we figure out a way to sift through it and keep what's really important"
Has anyone told you that you look a bit like Pam from the office?
Hadeel Elshak that’s what I thought!!
First thing that came to my mind when I saw her
She even IS a bit like Pam!
My first thought too!
And Pam is an artist!
you should do a flip-through of your commonplace book! it would be so interesting and inspiring
It is so easy to forget being creative and when I watch your videos I notice how much I miss it. You give me inspiration again, so thank you
I'm so happy my videos inspire you, thank you for watching!! 💕
That's a pretty name you have
I guess I've always had a "common place" book. My mind is always running 24/7 and I tend to be forgetful so I write things down a lot.😊
"we're collectors of ideas and plans" amen!
My school had me start commonplacing in 6th grade, and now I do it on my own time, and I think it's such a lovely way to record beautiful things! I just think it's so wonderful that you are spreading awareness about it!
Omg this reminds me of 2007-2008 back when my cousin passed away suddenly and I just COULD NOT deal with it, being the first major death I've gone through of someone I was close with. I grew up in a family that wasn't straightforwardly affectionate and felt like I had nobody to talk about everything that was going on in my mind. Instinctively, I started journaling in this notebook instead - pretty much filling it with the kind of stuff this video talks about and it honestly helped so much with my mental health for months after that. Sounds so dramatic but I believe I wouldn't have coped if 13 year old me didn't have my little commonplace notebook to start with.
I keep a list in my notes titled “One for the books” and write in a moment that happened (I typically use this for humor) and I lay It out as if It was a play. It always brings me back to the exact moment that It happened. :)
Now I can be Klaus Baudelaire.
Right lol
Eyyyyyyyyyyy
Same here
yess
Yesssss that’s what I was thinking
I love this idea of a commonplace book! I normally take pictures of inspiring quotes and sentences I come across, but I don't like to look at them digitally. I have room left in my bujo so I think I'll incorporate a commonplace book in it. Thanks!! 😄🌿🌷
The way you said about us collecting notebooks, got to me. I can finally describe them. Thank you!
There's this cute af notebook I have that I've been dying to use for months. But I told myself there was no good reason to take it out and ruin it since I already actively use two million diaries and journals.
So thank you for this video. I'm taking the said notebook out right now and setting it up as my commonplace book. Funnily enough, I sorely need one but never realised. ❤️
Jordan! Thank you for posting again. I love watching you and I missed you. You look so amazing.
Aww thank you so much lovely, I'm happy to be back!! 💕
I started a commonplace book because of the series of unfortunate events books 😂 anyone else?
I love this!
this was my first thought!
Me too!!
May I know why? I've seen the movie but I never read the books and I saw the movie too long ago to know why you said what you said. I'm just asking out of curiosity. You don't have to answer if you don't feel like it. It's all good. 👍
@@gel990 it's a big thing in the books.
This is exactly what I did with my composition notebooks in middle school. I would write down poetry I liked, lines from books I read, song lyrics, quotes I found online, things my friends said to me, occasionally I would write my own little stories or poems. The two notebooks I kept during my 7th grade year are still my favorite to this day ❤️
Jordan: write down quotes or song lyircs into it
Me:*has been doing that in my phone notebook*
Me:*opens drawr and glanes at my 8 empty notebooks*
Me:...
Me: oooooOOOOOOOOOOH. oops.
Honestly no matter where you pause could be an amazing screenshot. Incredible.
the way you described/explained why so many of us have an overabundance of notebooks was so beautifully said; i think it's really true! I see a gorgeous notebook and i get it while thinking of all the things i could fill it with (only problem is that i often dont get to it bc of all the others LOL)
UNDERRATED AESTHETIC QUEEN
I started to write quotes that “spoke” to me (from books, medium articles, etc) and my thoughts of them in a notebook and now that book is the most prized possession of mine. It really shows my growth of thinking.
My mother gets mad all the time when I get home and sees me having a new notebook to add in my collection lol
Smile that sound nice, Hi Azaliah ! How are you doing and where are you chatting from?
😔
Everything about you, from your handwriting to your face to your aesthetic, is beautiful
First; I love you so much Jordan, your voice is so soothing and calming, thanks for making my day 💕❤️
Glad to know I’m not the only one who has a million notebooks and each one holds so many different things. I’ve definitely got a common place notebook. Even though I never knew it was called that until now. I’ve got notebooks with favorite recipes and notebooks with knitting patterns written in it, I recently bought two hard back notebooks because I want to write a book, one for random ideas and brainstorming and the other for the actual book lol.
I was just looking into the idea of commonplace books last week, as I was reminded of them by my favourite book - A Series of Unfortunate Events. Thank you sooo much for this!! I’m going to start mine in a few weeks :)
i love using commonplace books because they help me so much
wow you’ve inspired me so much with this!!! I immediately shuffled through my drawer and found a notebook that’s just sitting empty. also, your voice is so relaxing and beautiful to listen to, this video just melted me whole. thank you!
I LOVE THIS IDEA OMG I've been just storing quotes / inspiring ideas in random note apps on my phone and computer, in my photo albums, and in assorted journals. All over the place, basically. Never thought about combining them into one location, but now honestly I can't believe I never did! This is brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing this
That intro was everything 😫
I'm glad I finally listened to the Universe and watched this video 😁 it just would not leave my recs and I was in a bad spot so I clicked on it. Thank you
You speak so calmly. Its so nice to hear your voice. Its soothing
I not knowingly have notebooks that would match this concept but with doodles and drawings in it as well. I didn’t know that this very concept also has a name 🙈 and still I LOVE your voice.
I first heard about commonplace books from A Series of Unfortunate Events :')
I was expecting the comment section to be full of aSoUS. I was sorely disappointed
@@shayleeoloughlin5135 same lol it's the only thing I think about when I hear 'commonplace book'
SAME from Duncan and Isadora Quagmire
@@shayleeoloughlin5135 same
This is a really cool idea. I always have random quotes scribbled on all sorts of notebooks and paper scraps, but I can never really look back at them all at once cause they're all over the place.
I love this. I’ve always written quotes here and there, and I actually started one when I was in high school but it became one of those unfinished notebooks. Luckily I still have it and I am inspired to continue again. ❤️
I love it! I have this book lying around for probably a year and since I have so many, didn't know what to do with it, until today. I'm starting my commonplace notebook tomorrow. Thank you.
here for the aesthetic and warm feelings this video brings ^.^ EDIT: after watching this, i need to start a commonplace journal. thank you so much for these lovely ideas!
Great idea Jordan. I'll definitely start my very own commonplace book. Thank you for the inspiration!
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!- this video was in my recommended on yt- this is possibly my favourite ever video on YT- it SOOOO speaks to me. I've been noting down sentences/ paragraphs/excerpts that jump out at me/ mean something/ I want to remember etc from books for the past 15 years!- I just thought it was me! I didn't know other people did it or that it had a name!- common place book- well you learn something new every day! THANKYOU SO MUCH!
This is exactly what I need! I have started so many diaries and tried to keep up a bullet journal, but it wasn't really what I was looking for. I have so many quotes highlighted in books on my shelves, and even books I consider my favorites, that have been forgotten. Then there are times where I get a stroke of inspiration from a few words or a piece of art that I would just love to carry with me. I am so glad I found this:)
It's amazing to me, how you make even a commonplace notebook, extraordinary. 💖
ugh. I need to get like you with the organization. adore your content. also your aesthetic is so chill. love it
Wow, this is so refreshing..... I love these ideas. I love what she said, "We are Collecter of ideas " I love this, that is how I feel about my journals.
i’m the type of person who has always treated my books with so much care i never bend the pages and never write or highlight anything
this is literally the best video i could have seen
I always read / hear amazing and inspiring quotes but I never really found a place to save them : but a commonplace book looks like the PERFECT idea to collect all of them ❤️ thanks for the inspo !
this is such a good idea - I have a quote notebook and a lyric /songs notebook but it does make sense to combine them - thank you Jordan!
Your voice is really soothing 💕 I’ve always done this on random scraps of paper I’ve kept in a binder over the years. But this is so much more organized without having to be stressed about being organized. I love it
Wow! You JUST inspired me! Thank you so much! I’ve chosen to use August as my month to heal from so many things. I’ve decided to “unplug” from social media, text messages, phone calls so I can just use this time for myself that I have neglected for so long. It’s been a few days and I’m already feeling it helping. I love to write and I am a poet and this “Commonplace Notebook” idea sounds like heaven to me during this time. Thank you so much!!!
Omg I've been working on a journal just like this but I didn't know what to call it! Now I know! Perfect timing
*Who else always gets so inspired by everything she does?* 💓💓
Love from another diy youtuber🌹
ive been having this kind of book for years oh my esp. when i am through reading a book i write all the amazing quotes that hit me or i can relate or when a friend say something noteworthy in between our coffee dates and wow i never knew it's called a commonplace book. thank you so much jordan 💕✨
I’m totally doing this. I love quotes- from inspiring books, people, and music. Even quotes from my obsessions. I’ll start it this summer! Tysm! 😄
I found the LIVING BREATHING definition if aesthetic 😍
This is so inspiring for some reason but I love it! I’m definitely going to start a commonplace book! Also your voice is so soothing omg
You are so right, I have a bunch of sticky notes and scrap pieces of paper lying around of great quotes- and they end up getting lost when I need to read them the most. Love your aesthetic! ✨
I have a massive problem of compartmentalizing my sketchbooks/notebooks. This is just one more idea in which I am in love. Thank you for sharing!
Your videos are so amazing! Great to watch, beautifully edited and with such inspiring content!! Love love 💕💕
whaaattt i've been doing this for 3 years now i didn't know "commonplace" is what it's called thank you for this video!
i really love your aesthetic
I used to (and still do) have BOXES of journals that I've built up since middle school. I'm 27 now and over the past few years I've gone through and typed out the more notable pages into my OneNote notebook so that I can free up space in my bedroom.
My Nomatic journal, which is a really great brand of journals I suggest you look up of you journal/commonplace write a lot, is full of typical commonplace type notes and color-coded post-it flags for important pages. I've gotten into decorating pages a while back, but I steered away from it. Your pages are *beautiful*!
But you are not getting rid of your physical notebooks, are you? 😨 Just re-homing them, right? I know there is only so much space in our living quarters, but there's something unexplainably special about the actual books. ☺
I saw the title of this video and I was like ‘oh god what is she gonna make me create now?!’ Aaaaand I’m about to make my own common place notebook. It’s so true, I hear and read so many inspiring things all the time and never get around to keeping them somewhere, I don’t know why I didn’t think of this. It’s gonna be so good to note them down and look back at. Thankyou for your inspiration once again xxxx
I've always had one of these, but I never knew that they were called commonplace books. Love this video! :)
This had a new kind of vibe to it, I like it a lot! Happy summer dreaming 🌻
my school hands these out to every student!! reading the hilarious memories at the end of the year, the thoughts, the emotions?? it’s priceless.
i am going to start one! this sounds so fun and interesting. you’re completely right- things do really get lost over the internet and bright ideas and inspirations do get lost and i’m happy i now have just another idea i can fill one of my many journals with.
I was waiting to hear the same recycled advice, but this wasn't. Thanks! It's refreshing
Hey Jordan I love ur videos so much and I love this concept. ur so aesthetic and calming. Keep it up
Same here 💙💙
this is such a beautiful concept. I can't believe i've come across so many striking quotes, phrases, passages, etc. and never thought once to record them all in one place. I am starting one asap and I just cannot wait to fill one up and look back on a collage of thoughts to represent chapters of my life.
I never knew that I have been doing these for a while like you said. I have kept so many random pieces of my fave lines from books,songs,movies,etc. but they’re all scattered around so now I’m going to try and commit to this way ❤
Lol this describes one of my Pinterest boards. Might have to rename it ‘commonplace’ 😄. Love this❤️ subscribed💫
Loved your video Jordan! So glad you're back. Missed you :)
Beautiful, I keep a journal about my daily life. And I just luv writing down quotes and lyrics , i even make up my own. This is the kinda thing I love doing.
I'm so glad you did this video! I started looking into a commonplace notebook a few days ago, so this was a pleasant surprise!!
Thank you for this idea! I have a tiny notebook that I've forgotten about that I will use now. :)
This video had a different vibe to it, I liked it! Happy summer 💕✨🌻☀️
This is so amazing for someone like me because I could never keep up with a bullet journal but I love the style and ideas from them
After watching the video, I wanted to come up with a name coming from something that happened. So I chose “The Mall of Words/The dump” because once my dad’s friend took us to his cabin, said we were going to the mall! And went to the dump, because so much stuff is there that people forget about, but it’s always gonna be there until someone picks it up
IN LOVE with this idea! Yep I have about 30 notebooks and the new ones I don't like to use, it's like I'm waiting for something to happen for me to use them 🤣
0 dislikes soo far..
I hope it remains like that only!
Love u Jordan!💜
Finally, got noticed by my fav CZcamsr!
Love from India💛
I have sensitivity to loud sounds, and I just want to say I truly appreciate you speaking softly in this video. Some people are positively shouting in theirs.
Just graduated college and feeling lost. This is a great way for me to relax but also be inspired❤️❤️
This is just what I needed!! Thank you for making this video! 🙌🏼💖
i love you and this whole vibe omg
Me too 💛💙

So *that's* what a commonplace book is! :) I more or less used to have one in my phone (only thing I always have with me), but yours so pretty :)
(Love the dry flowers bouquet behind you, it's beautiful)
I’ve never heard the term commonplace book but do a similar thing on my notes app and honestly doing this in book form is SUCH a good idea... I love it thank you
20 secs in: why am I crying, your voice is so flipping relaxing
Hello Kristin ! How are you doing and where are you chatting from?
