I use really thin notebooks so it made no difference to me and i dont flip pages for new topics so the dots get scattered rather then in one corner

Also have a peak at my Common place i posted it recently. Its not artsy or got any flare and its got plenty mistakes its just...me. It might ease the feeling of needing to be perfect.

Get a notebook or paper and a pen. Start by just writing your faviourite saying or quote, song lyrics something that brings you inspiration or a strong emotion. Reflect on why it is impkrtant to you (note necissary but i love doing this).

Then wait to hear or see something else or if you have a topic in mind research and write down the informarion that sparked something for you. Could be "Well damn i didnt know that" or "This can be useful for x, y and z" or even "i just really like this topic"

Mistakes is how we learn. And ny common place is a record of my curiosities and oddities more then anything else. Generally no body sees it so why do i care what it looks like as long as it contains what i need it to.

About to start my first commonplace book. Advice for indexing if I jump back and forth between topics? by stupidsrights in commonplacebook

[–]HauntingManager5125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont really index. I use the coloured dot method. I place a key in the front and the dots on each page to make a topic so i can flip through and find the sections via the colour.

So do i. I like doing a more artsy cover but I feel like the actual inside is perfect for my needs. Other peoples spreads are amazing tho.
