About this episode
In this episode, I dive into the concept of the commonplace notebook—a simple, flexible tool for capturing thoughts, ideas, quotes, lists, and more. I share my recent discovery of this timeless idea and my commitment to carrying a pocket-sized notebook to jot down anything that sparks inspiration.
You’ll hear about:
What a commonplace notebook is and how it can be used.
Why I’m choosing a physical notebook over my phone for most notes.
The specific notebooks I’m starting with, including a beautiful gift from a friend and a Rhodia softcover.
How this practice might help calm thought loops and bring clarity.
An invitation for you to try it out and see how this simple practice could transform your creative flow.
Have you tried a commonplace notebook, or does this idea resonate? Reach out to share your thoughts—I’d love to hear!
