What is your ideal use for a commonplace book? Do you think it’s better to have one or create ones for different topics to commonplace.
What is a commonplace book?
I love the idea of a very simple color code to help you when you're going back through your book.
Thanks so much. It really is helpful when looking through my books.
2:00 love the idea of color coding like this!! I’ve done it with washi, but it more separated projects/events. 🥰
I love color coding so much because it makes planning and getting things organized so much easier. Thanks so much for watching.
HI....You are my new favorite. :) I too take care of my mom (87) and also have a 16 year old. I am loving the idea of a common place notebook. I already have love for the pocket size notebook. It is so easy to travel with. Would you think about doing a "commonplace with me" video?
Thank you so much! Thanks for also subscribing this makes my heart so full. I think this is a great idea and I will definitely create videos regarding common placing with me.
Oh my, your journal is so pleasing and soothing to the eyes! ❤
Thank you so much for watching. I truly appreciate you loving my little journal.
I love this video, Estella🤍 The color coding is fabulous, I’m saving these ideas in my notebook. You are such an inspiration, thank you for your efforts with this video!
Thanks so much 😊 I really appreciate you watching + sharing your kindness always Connie.
I agree with Staci. A journal with me would be really nice. Like me, I want to do these things but my brain doesn’t allow me to do it on my own. Everything has to be structured and to make sense . I need to exercise it so it flows another direction
I love this idea and thank you for sharing your thoughts on this.
@@TheMinimalSophisticate good morning I so enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing. I have done and listened and watched so many CZcams videos on commonplace book and yours is the first one that I think I could actually utilize well I would like to ask you where do you get your stickers? I love how you’ve decorated it. I do like to decorate my planters and journals but I’ve got nothing like what you have. Can you share when you get your stickers? Thanks for sharing your work and I really enjoyed it. Thank you.
@@ginastarrp I'm also wondering how you paste things on your book.
@@TheMinimalSophisticate Where do you get the stickers? Do you just print them out instead?
Sure. So for my stickers, I use stickers from Paper Minty Studio, Sweet Freckled Designs, Mr + Mrs. Mint, The Style Planner, The Coffee Monsters Co, Emerald Fox Press, and Opal and Fern Stickers.
Oh my gosh.....I read the book Six of Crows.....It is so so good!! The rest of the series is also very good!!! I love your video. You have given me some good ideas. Thank you!!
I am currently within the first few chapters and love this book. I got the 2nd book of the series too. Thanks so much for watching.
Love your videos! I struggle not with WHAT to put in there but WHEN to do it. I would love to get a video about your day's structure and if you have a routine, that would be immensely helpful. Also love the idea of doing a Commonplace With Me video some have suggested. It would be great to set aside time and go along with you.
Also, the Six of Crows books are my fave. I definitely think they're the better ones from the series. 😂
Thanks so much for watching. I really do enjoy the Six of Crows + I also think they are better. I just finished sharing a commonplace journaling session with me. I am definitely going to share some tips + on how I structure my day when it comes to planning or journaling.
Newer subscriber 🩷 I watched this for the second time this week and I will be starting a commonplace notebook. It's exactly what I wanted/ needed but didn't know how to start. Love your color code. Thank you for sharing and already watching your older videos 😊
Thanks so much for subscribing and watching. I really appreciate it and so glad it was helpful.
Very helpful! Thank you!😊
Thanks so much for watching. I truly appreciate you so much!
Oh I love this 🥰
Thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing your commonplace notebook. I loved this video, I’ve got a few ideas and inspiration from you. I love the color coding you do. Such a simple way to organize, complete game changer for me. Love your style!
What is color coding?
You are so welcome! Thanks so much for watching. I appreciate your comment as well.
Basically using circle dots or specific colors to categorize your topics within your notebook or planner. For example, blue is for work, pink is for personal, and yellow is for important.
@@TheMinimalSophisticate Understood. Thanks!
This is an complete eye opener. Could help me with my wild toughts always racing, to be calm.
I just want to know where she gets the stickers.
Hello! So for stickers, I use stickers from Paper Minty Studio, Sweet Freckled Designs, Mr + Mrs. Mint, The Style Planner, The Coffee Monsters Co, Emerald Fox Press, and Opal and Fern Stickers.
I'm so glad that this video was able to help you! Thanks so much for watching.
@@TheMinimalSophisticate I'll put those in my own commonplace notebook. Thanks!
I removed social media from my phone two months ago and after a decade of struggling to read, I have been reading constantly again. It changed so much beyond reading, too.
I definitely have seen such an improvement in my reading since removing social media platforms. I have seen a change in my attention as well.
Love it.
Thanks so much. I really appreciate you watchingl.
Very useful, thank you.
Thanks so much for watching. I truly appreciate it. I am so glad this was helpful.
Love love love this! Which notebook are you using and what stickers do you use?
Hello + thanks so much for watching. I am using Moleskine Pocket weekly planner and grid notebooks. Along with the Sweet Freckled Designs Passport notebook for my commonplace planning. For stickers, I use stickers from Paper Minty Studio, Sweet Freckled Designs, Mr + Mrs. Mint, The Style Planner, The Coffee Monsters Co, Emerald Fox Press, and Opal and Fern Stickers.
hi Estella, just discovered you & love the video. New subscriber here! Enjoy this time with your Mom & Dad - tough at times but such a gift. you’ve inspired me to return to my Commonplace book(s). May I inquire: what is that small soft cover notebook you showed us? thanks! I’ll be back!
The soft Cover one is from Sweet Freckled Designs (Not Affiliated) sweetfreckleddesigns.com/products/passport-tn-inserts-pu-leatherette-cover-no-coupon-codes also just purchased the Sterling Ink Passport Grid notebook which is another option. Thanks so much for watching and your support.
Beautiful!!! Could you please link and reference the notebooks you use? I especially love the soft cover one, the first one you talk about on your video. Thanks a lot!!
Thanks so much for watching I purchased this passport notebook from Sweet Freckled Design sweetfreckleddesigns.com/products/passport-tn-inserts-pu-leatherette-cover-no-coupon-codes and the one I recently purchased is from Sterling Ink sterling-ink.com/products/passport-260-page-grid-notebooks-ready-to-ship-updated-grid
I like the color coding. I am wondering, do your stickers stick on the covers alone, or do you have to use additional adhesive?
Thanks so much for watching! The stickers do stick without adhesive.
I subscribed to your channel, great video
Awesome thank you so much for joining my community. I truly hope to inspire everyone with a little planning and journaling.
Please share info about those pastel index stickies😍
I purchased these from my local Daiso. They are so cute! I love them.
I absolutely loved this and it was so helpful! I know I was one of the individuals who had asked how exactly you use your commonplace notebook because I’ve seen others use the term “learning notebook” synonymous with commonplace nb.
I personal,y would love to start one for all the notes I take from CZcams videos or podcasts or blogs - any sort of information I’m taking in that I don’t want to lose. However, my issue is I’m afraid my brain wouldn’t like it if I didn’t have it organized in some way! Lol 😅 And the way I picture organizing this is by having a notebook for certain subjects - eg., one for planning where I would write down any info regarding planning that I want to refer back to, whether it’s from a video or an article….and then another book for a separate common subject I research, and so on.
Does that make sense? And does it sound like I’m making it too complicated? Lol
Thanks so much for sharing this!! ❤
This completely makes sense. I think this is a great idea. You can also have a common theme or subject commonplace book and then organize categories using colored circles or stickers /keys.
@@TheMinimalSophisticate so do you think I would be making it too complicated if I had a commonplace notebook for each topic I typically research - which is usually just planning, productivity, skincare, finances - and then just add like subsections in there, for anything related to any of those? Because my biggest thing is if I want to refer back to something I learned about skincare for example, I wanna know exactly where to look.
@@celiagallegos Hi, I'm the same, my brain wants everything compartmentalized! I used a Traveler's notebook for this instead of a bound notebook that will take forever to fill up. I just started a different insert for each topic I'm keeping notes on and color coded the covers so I know when I go through my archive all the blue ones are for skincare and the pink ones are for food & nutrition etc
@@virginiagriesel3541 ooooh, ok! I love this idea!! I didn’t look at your channel, but do you post videos showing any of this?? And yes I agree - my brain also wants everything compartmentalized 😂
I think that if you need to separate subjects or topics then you can definitely have a notebook for each category. The most important aspect is gathering the information that you need in one place and categorizing it by subject or topics within a subject. So do what you feel is best for you.
Could you share a link for these small commonplace notebooks?
Of Course + Thanks for watching. (Not an Affiliate) sweetfreckleddesigns.com/products/passport-tn-inserts-pu-leatherette-cover-no-coupon-codes
; have a good day ❤
You too!!
I can give you reading recommendations.
Thanks, I'm sure everyone would like some reading recommendations.
@@TheMinimalSophisticate Sure, hold on...
@@TheMinimalSophisticate *A Song of Ice and Fire* series by George R. R. Martin
*Strike The Zither* by Joan He
*Legendborn* by Tracy Deonn
*The Hobbit* by J. R. R. Tolkien
and
*The Lord of the Rings* by Tolkien
@@comradestannis Thanks for sharing these recommendations. A Song of Ice and Fire I heard is a great book.
@@TheMinimalSophisticate It's a series of novels. You'll like it, I think.
This is how I use my Stalogy. It’s so fat too.
I love a chunky book.
So "commonplace" means journal or diary... I am tired of new names for old already well defined established words...
Thanks so much for watching and I appreciate the comment. A commonplace book by definition is a book into which notable extracts such as books, poems, podcasts, research, etc. are copied and then add your own thoughts. I break down my commonplace book based on categories but I also include journaling in my notebook.
Happy meal?
I thought that too! But I think it was happy mail.
@@fictionalneritive OH! Yeah, that makes more sense. I kept hearing "happy meal."
Hey, thanks for watching. I definitely was saying Happy Mail but my accent must make it sound like Happy Meal.
@@TheMinimalSophisticate Oh fair.
