Check out my science fiction and fantasy magazine and my commonplace book magazine here: parkerzines.etsy.com
If you're interested in note-taking strategies, I've got you covered. I've been journaling and using commonplace books intentionally and daily for more than 10 years. I've found commonplace books and compendiums to be the best form of journaling for growing as an intellectual, for memorizing quotes, and for collecting your thoughts on a particular topic. In this vid I cover two major ways to keep a commonplace book:
1. Commonplace for Quotes
2. Commonplace for Ideas
Once you understand the distinction you can start planning your own style and start growing exercising your own intellectual habits.
