ParkNotes Check out Shortform and get a free trial and 20% discount at shortform.com/parknotes

I've had a hard time getting my work down while my smartphone beckons to me. I've found that keeping a pocket notebook system which incorporates the best of Cal Newport's timeblocking method with the best of Ryder Carroll's Bullet Journal method can help me stop mindlessly scrolling on my phone and actually get my work done. In this video I go over some of the tenets of digital minimalism, I lay out the major ideas in the philosophy of technology, and then I show you how to incorporate time-blocking into your own pocket bullet journal.

An Old Book to Turn Boys Into Batman

ParkNotes 2024-04-21 | In this video I cover the book Fun For Boys edited by William Allan Brooks in 1943. It’s basically a compendium of activities that will transform boys into confident, well-adjusted men, while having fun learning useful hobbies like training your dog, woodworking, building a powerful physique, boxing & Japanese Jiujitsu for self-defense, and the science of wrestling. I highly recommend you check out the video! The book is chalk-full of wisdom, great advise, and a few outdated and hilarious suggestions.

You can still find these on Ebay from time to time. It's definitely worth the hunt!

How to (actually) REMEMBER What You Read - 7 Tips

ParkNotes 2024-04-12 | To try everything Brilliant has to offer—free—for a full 30 days, visit brilliant.org/ParkNotes . You’ll also get 20% off an annual premium subscription.

I basically learn for a living. I read lots and lots of books, journal articles, philosophy and theology papers, and I talk about ideas with the authors on my podcast or I present the ideas to you on this channel, or I synthesize my own ideas for my Substack audience. So it's very important for me to remember what I've read. As I've become a better researcher, I've discovered at least 7 ways to help myself remember what I've read and in this video I share those with you.

Dunes Profound WARNING against Artificial Intelligence

ParkNotes 2024-02-26 | To improve your mental wellbeing, try Aura today for free. The first 500 people to use my link will also get 25% off + a free trial to an Aura membership aurahealth.io/parknotes

In his 1965 book, Dune, Frank Herbert gives a profound warning about the dangers of artificial intelligence. What makes Herbert's warning so profound is its uniqueness. Most science fiction stories deal with the AI control problem which carry implicit warnings for the reader about the danger of self-aware and super intelligent AI systems which become unaligned with the values of their human creators. Herbert, on the other hand, warns us about the AI creators rather than their artifacts. Perhaps we shouldn't worry as much about Frankenstein's monster as much as Dr. Frankenstein himself.

There are many ways to journal, but there's only one way to keep the MOST romantic journal and that's keeping an Eros Journal or a book of love letters to your significant other. I started keeping this journal as love letters to my future wife. It took me 3 years to meet her and a year and a half to marry her after that. So I was writing in this journal for 4.5 years before surprising my wife with it on our wedding night. She loved it and your significant other will love the one you make them!

Commonplace books are back! This is an ancient method of collecting and storing information that goes all the way back to Aristotle.

Socrates said "the unexamined life is not worth living." The Oracle of Delphi, prophetess of Apollo, encouraged the followers of Apollo to "know thyself". St. Augustine set out to know God and the Soul, nothing more, nothing whatsoever in his Sililoquies. Philosophical Sililoquies are an amazing way to examine your life. In this video I show you how you can use sililoquies to know yourself.

ParkNotes 2023-09-09 | I've been keeping pocket notebooks for over 10 years. I don't think I'd be able to function without them.

Become an Expert in (Almost) Any Subject Using Commonplace Books [Philosopher Explains]

ParkNotes 2023-07-30 | Just about everyone can become and expert in any topic by using commonplace books. In this video I introduce how I use commonplace books as a commonplace for collecting ideas about a particular topic, including my own ideas, with the goal of becoming an expert on that topic. By taking marginal notes in the books, essays, journal articles, etc., and moving the most important notes to a commonplace book and by taking notes from audio mediums like podcasts, courses, and YouTube presentations in your commonplace book, you can create a one-stop-shop for building expertise.

2 Ways to Keep a Commonplace Book

ParkNotes 2023-05-06 | 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.
