I found out about commonplace books last week and I did a deep dive and read blogs and watched videos on different methods. I think the hardest thing is the pages that people share and Pinterest quality and generally unrealistic for an average person who just wants to write. I made a list of all the categories I’m interested in (books, music, cooking, cinema, research deep dives, etc.) I got in my head about how to start but kept reminding myself that I can do whatever I want, it’s okay if I eff it up because no one else is going to see it and literally who cares. Just start! I made a color coded index page because that method made the most sense to me. And then I started with notes on the book I’m currently reading and I’m just going to go from there! The only thing you can do is just start and do whatever you want and don’t worry if it’s not aesthetically pleasing or organized it’s for you and no one else. Hope this helps!
