i read on kindle & highlight quotes. love this idea to go thru after i’ve finished and write down the quotes. the nice thing about a kindle is all your highlights and notes are in one section. thanks for the idea! loved your matthew quote!
This was how I was taught to do research papers in high school. The only difference is we would put the source on the back in whatever format we were using for the paper. It made the process so much easier. Still my favorite way to this day to keep notes
Yo Kopec! I'd never heard of a common place book before but have been doing this sort of thing for years. I appreciate your enthusiasm and your videos. Be well!
Great idea, thanks! If you google "standard pocket chart" check out the images. These are pocket charts teachers use for sentence structure or poem/story boards. You can place them on the wall of the van and have a lot more space to organize your notecards. Again, love the idea and will be using it, mainly for Bible study.
Awesome! I am from Brazil and here, in portuguese, we have less content about that kind of organization. I am always worry about how i can definilly organize all that i've watched/learned/readed. I am watching thousands of videos with people doing that in cute tiny notebooks... but i am always thinking: how can i organize my brainstorm in a diary with unicorns and stuff? Your system is so much better. We can visit this cards so easily. Thank you
Well, I don't *try* to have a lot of irons in the fire. I just always do anyways. Lol. Hey now...maybe that means I'm doing it on a subconscious level... 🤔
O.K. Where to start? Read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" wherein is described the use of the box of cards ... which the author, the philosopher Robert Pirsig, used to write his books. Search out the term "Zettelkasten". The hip new way to "market" this same idea. There are a few software products out now or under development to streamline Luhmann's methodology. I recommend Obsidian. You might enjoy seeing how Luhmann used is system manually ... on slips of paper in a box like yours. His system was quite precise and got him to publish about 60 books, starting rather late in life. Ahren wrote "How to Take Smart Notes" which discusses this in detail. Poke around a bit in some of John Locke's minor writings. He was a strong advocate of the commonplace book and developed a very interesting way to index his books. Other examples might be Ben Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson. Check out some of their writings. A few of Jefferson's commonplace books are available on Amazon and you can find images of his books in Google under Images. Nice to see what he was thinking and how. Lastly ... 10,000 hours "scientifically proven"? Dude, put aside your current work and delve into critical thinking. NONE of this popular crap has much at all to do with anything but making blogs, TED Talks, and selling books to the gullible. Really ... slow down and think critically before just vacuuming up every hare brained idea that comes across your field of view. Anytime you see someone say something like "It takes 7 (or 14 or 30, or lately 66) days to form a habit. Or, it takes 20 (or 10,000 hours, or 10 years) to become an expert." Or ... well, any of that crap. Don't make a card for it. TRASH IT! The very idea that this guy, who you never heard of until today, KNOWS a thing like that is total nonsense. Start with your internal editor saying to yourself: "How does he define 'expert'? Who does this number apply to? Why would there be such a firm number?" Oh, the obvious questions are legion and will keep you out of trouble. Keep up the journey ... but stay on your own path. Leave the modern day "experts" to blog into the aether.

When it comes to writing a book, this is such a great idea 💡
Came for the commonplace book, stayed for a fellow van dweller.
