I always wrote ideas I had down in a small notepad. I would later read them and be unimpressed. Then when I did have good ideas I thought, why write it down, and was sorry later.

I actually have a commonplace book and didnt even know it 😭 ive had diaries since I was in 6th grade, recently my commonplace book and also a bunch of drawing notebooks since I was in like 9th grade

Never heard of a commonplace book til this video, discovered my years worth of "diaries" were actually commonplace books this whole time! I should make more effort to take it with me places, and I do tend to reflect a lot on my thoughts because I'm constantly having an existential crisis for the past 20 years so it doesn't really make me spiral, it's the only thing that helps, but as well as the look of these commonplace books with scraps, drawings, etc. saving my movie and concert stubs for years, things like that, will definitely be taking some tips from this video though! yours look awesome

i love this!! i bought a blank pocketbook from Muji, and it has soo many pages and i just needed an idea of what to do with it. this is such a free and open outlet with little boundaries :)))

I’ve been keeping one of these for years and I never knew what it was called, so this video is very interesting to watch. I used to have a lot of free time in school, so I’d spend the time writing or making notes to my friends or doodling in the notebook, and I really enjoyed it. For anyone on the fence about trying this, I definitely recommend it. It can be a little difficult to get into at first, but it’s incredibly fun and useful once you do.

May I have a link for that super chill background music you have going on here? 😂❤

I do this unconsciously in digital form, i have a discord server only for myself where I dump all my mess : to do lists, random thoughts, writing and drawing ideas, pictures i like, etc. Easy to compartmentalize and always on reach since it's on my phone !

where to buy such blank journals in the first place?

My partner goes through my devices when i sleep so i stopped writing in my journal and just hide it now. Everytime theyre around i try to keep my devices on my person at all times even when i sleep.

just discovered what i've been calling a diary is actually a common place book. i use it to write about my day, but only ever if i feel the need to share it. i also write my videogame achievements, doodle silly characters, count how many hours i've studied, glue any piece of paper memorabilia i get like cinema tickets or cool ads. i don't make myself add anything to this "diary" if i don't naturally feel inclined to. it's my fourth notebook since i've started journaling and i never read back the descriptions about my day, i only ever look at the drawings and "utility" pages like the hours-studied or to-do lists. to me, once my thoughts are on the page they're no longer mine to keep, but the notebook's, so re-reading serves me no use. it's freeing. i do wonder if someone will ever read them in the future, and if so, who will it be.

i journal every day, but i keep it strictly at home and don't put any like of the commonplace details in it- i literally havent missed a day in moths, and i totally agree that i spiral sometimes. someimtes i write one page, sometimes 10 in a day, but a lot of it is just my thoughts. i wish i wanted to keep a commonplace book instead,but im too nervous to write in public

because of you, i have just entered my 13th entry in my commonplace book. it's amazing how much i could write down the knowledge that i get from YT and ofc in the real world since just 4 days ago. once you start, you can't really stop honestly. it's a good kind of addiction. get started guys!!!!

me immediately getting my notebook to begin noting something the minute i clicked on this video

i've been trying for a couple of years now to figure out how i wanted to journal and stuff, and i got just on the cusp of figuring out the common place book idea, but this video helped me IMMENSELY with the idea! something low-stakes, completely personalized like this is absolutely amazing and so helpful!!

I’d recommend obsidian for digital on computer

This reached me at just the right time. Thank you for the inspiration and ideas!

I have adhd and watching this I realized I have accidentally turned every single notebook I bought that I meant to use for "serious writing" was just used like this. Its kinda nice to realize that this is actually helpful and a productive way to use journal.

I bought an expensive leather journal and I fully anticipate it looking rough later on. Such a liberating feeling of buying something expensive and then reflecting on how much you have used it, not enslaved to the fear of ruining it. Wear and "abuse" is a sign its well loved. Embrace it!

Totally understandable that you covered what you didn't feel like sharing! Loved this video, watched it while making a weekly spread in my bujo, which, thanks to you, I turned into a commonplace book as well (from the back side). It's helped me so much with my inner perfectionist berating me for my bujo not being as organised as pretty as I would like it to be - because it's no longer only a bujo, but also an amalgamation of everything and anything I write down there that's more to do with journalling and scrapbooking even.

hi ! nice video. i didn't know this type of book had a name, but i used to keep many when i was a teen. i divided my books in two and i used one half as a diary and the other for ideas, drawings, lists, things to do etc, and i wrote every day, ended up filling like 5 of them. i wanna try it again with your words in mind.

i love your art

I always have one of this than after some time I thrown them out as if I want to burden the person I was before and begin a new version of me

Mine is a binder, that I sewed myself, there are tabs, but I can organise it later the da

Like a grimoire?

I remember a stranger passing by and saying "hey yoire very pretty" to me, made me smile so much, i remember it every time im feeling insecure abt my looks

Tbh I never read my old or even present journals cause it makes me cringe sm its just painful to read 🌚

This is great, I kept one of these a few years ago without realising and have been trying to get back to it...this is the inspiration I needed !

now I just really wanna be your friend

i'm an artist so i have a looooot of sketchbooks here and there, all are been used at the same time so there's no order in them. i used them strictly for good drawings and then, one day, used to write down a grandma's recipe and i thought "this is what this sketchbook was made for". From that moment i stopped performing in my own PRACTICE sketchbooks, no one is going to look at them if i don't want them to, so fuck it

while i agree that it's a fantastic tool for self-discovery, mindfulness and memory, i don't agree that there's no pressure involved, depending on who you are. i am very passionate about making sure i remember meaningful things or things that moved me or drew me in, and very passionate about the details of life and things i observe - so a lot of things move me, and i know i'd feel consumed by my desire to write in it too many times a day, about everything, and guilt for the things i didn't get to write about.

ive been doing this my whole life and i had no idea it was an actual thing!!! i called it a "writers journal" because i would write down all my ideas for short stories, characters, poems etc. and of course i'd doodle all over it too. nowadays my commonplace book has a variety of journal entries, random math when i need to calculate whatever in my daily life, quotes that remind me why im alive, to do lists, sometimes i write a random scene of my ocs, and lots of doodles of course lol! my go to notebooks are College-ruled notebooks that you can buy for like a dollar. great vid!! i really relate to the idea of leaning in to your messiness as an aesthetic :)

It's wonderful that you didn't give up drawing!

tell me how the hell you convinced me within the first 5 minutes into the video and I immediately grabbed a random notebook and stared decorating…

You are so queen for the craftsy sponsorship

I adore these journalling videos!

Why does she talk like she is about to cry 😭

biggest word of advice is to not overthink anything, and yeah, it’s SUPPOSED to be fun. i think consuming the little amount of media that i do helps a lot for me to not be so comparitive. I’ve been more creative than i’ve ever been. and the value of a break, not forcing yourself to draw or do anything. let it happen

Ahhh such good points! As an adhd girlie I think this is such a great idea! I love writing, reflecting drawing etc. but ya the pressures of a diary are def what hold me back from jotting down as much as I would like

I appreciate you saying to use both where necessary, i was trying to write something by hand then typing it up , which obviously was quite time consuming. love your Videos.

No thanks ❤

5:02 real cuz i am a lazy perfectoinist like only in somethings i want to be perfect , cuz i still have not made peace with , that i dont have to rip the page when the art or the writing i have done is not perfect

5:37 understandable when i bought my bag pack for college i would put less stuff in it i was scared to ruin it , but know i use it to my fullest till i can close the cain

hi can u make a vedio bout career ,

love your vedios !!!

9:01 there is a lot of difference , its like reading an ebook and reading a paperback , the diffrence is the same i Prefer physically writing in my journal

the TWIST at the end about the cake/shoe instructor OH. MY. GOD.

bro i’ve wanted a pen pal fir so longggg

Tysm for the video :3

I absolutely love your journalling videos. I want to keep journalling because I love the idea and act of keeping a journal. I understand its value and importance, though writing isnt something I particularly enjoy doing. Your videos inspire me every time and I kindly thank you for that.💌
