Thank you for sharing your indexing and organizational methods! My partner journals, and he's had a hard time trying to figure out how to reference things he's taken notes of! I'm going to pass this video along to him to see if helps him out.
you have a very relaxing voice! "collecting and curating" yeah that sums up a bunch of videos on this haha I like how you made sure to change up the writing a bit in terms of color but still made everything very simple and easy to read oh no not locke's index lol - yours looks really nice though - I especially like how you realized one version didn't work and you simply made a new one rather than trying to jam everything in regarding the thing you mentioned about people talking about commonplace books at the beginning: it seems like the number of videos on the subject has been steadily increasing over the course of the last few months - I check the tag every few days and now I have to choose who I watch for the first time rather than being like wait a second who the heck is that wow you really have each type of book xD - but they're all for slightly different things and that's very cool! although maybe not as cool as the covers because those are really neat the bit about not knowing what is okay to share was interesting because you didn't have anything clearly off limits until that moment the music really helped although you stayed on topic the whole time and kept showing interesting things so I guess you're just good at this haha great video!
Thanks so much for watching and such thoughtful comments! You know I've noticed a lot of the newer commonplacing videos are really journaling videos but I'm guessing the term 'commonplace' is trending right now! I like the idea of having a separate place for information I've taken in that I find good for later reference. I'm not really too much of a 'collecting quotes' person, but I love the idea of gathering your own compendium of information. That's kinda what commonplace books are for, to me. Not a fan of Locke's method? haha I don't blame you. I think my main commonplace is the only book I'll be using it because it really is a catch-all with different subjects. I can use a simple index (or nothing at all!) for any other book if I need it since they're more focused. Yeah anything off limits, I just, won't show. I didn't make these books specifically to share initially so it's not like I'm censoring myself when I start these journals, it just doesn't occur to me until I go "oh uhhh I'm gonna film this but is it ok?" haha! I know a lot of journal/notebook youtubers have a specific book they use for filming and keep their more personal ones off camera. I do really have a lot of books though. It's not a system for everybody lol!! Thanks again for watching!
@@Voltergeist I think "personal knowledge base" will be trending next but we'll see haha yeah a lot of people have journals but it seems like everyone has their own definition one single most important book feels amazing! so uh... I'm a bit of a locke hater lol - at least when it comes to his commonplace book related stuff (which I know is heretical in the commonplace space but that's okay lol) because the full index in terms of the latin that is supposed to be used and using vowels as sub categories instead of numbers and all the other stuff simply feels way too complicated and pretentious to me - although it might simply be I started with locke and it's more of a personal grievance in the way that a person might play 4000 hours of a video game and then say it's a bad game how do you figure out what not to show? it was way too challenging for me emotionally so I had to start over haha - but that means people get to see the process so maybe worth idk 100% not for everyone but I think most people would get at least some value out of the little field notes book you have thanks for replying so quickly!
This is great! I was looking for a more..... "weeb" (respectfully.... I am one too!) way to use commonplace books, and this is perfect. :) Thanks for sharing!
Commonplace book is like a book of shadows for witches! Interesting
That's so true, I hadn't thought of it like that...I still have my very first book of shadows, too haha!
Thank you for sharing your indexing and organizational methods! My partner journals, and he's had a hard time trying to figure out how to reference things he's taken notes of! I'm going to pass this video along to him to see if helps him out.
Happy to share! And if he's got any questions or needs suggestions/more depth I'm game to make another video on it.
@@VoltergeistCool beans! I'll let him know :3
As a fellow artist and author, this is a pretty cool idea for use.
Thank you for sharing ! I am going to give this a try 😊
I only found this video now but it was really informative and I'm def gonna try and keep one!
Glad you found it helpful! Thanks so much for watching.
you have a very relaxing voice!
"collecting and curating" yeah that sums up a bunch of videos on this haha
I like how you made sure to change up the writing a bit in terms of color but still made everything very simple and easy to read
oh no not locke's index lol - yours looks really nice though - I especially like how you realized one version didn't work and you simply made a new one rather than trying to jam everything in
regarding the thing you mentioned about people talking about commonplace books at the beginning: it seems like the number of videos on the subject has been steadily increasing over the course of the last few months - I check the tag every few days and now I have to choose who I watch for the first time rather than being like wait a second who the heck is that
wow you really have each type of book xD - but they're all for slightly different things and that's very cool! although maybe not as cool as the covers because those are really neat
the bit about not knowing what is okay to share was interesting because you didn't have anything clearly off limits until that moment
the music really helped although you stayed on topic the whole time and kept showing interesting things so I guess you're just good at this haha
great video!

how do you figure out what not to show? it was way too challenging for me emotionally so I had to start over haha - but that means people get to see the process so maybe worth idk
