Your notebook is a work of art in and of itself! So beautiful. Looks like an antique which is what I know you were going for. Definitely one to treasure when done. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with creating this.

Hello Sylvie ! Love your channel - became a new subscriber instantly ! Just want to say that your notebooks are SO SO lovely 🥰Just looking at them is such an inspiration !! At the same time your videos are very helpful and i took a lot of helpfull information and visual tips from them and incorporated to my own commonplace books. I have one problem though with which i struggle a little still - how to put my notes into a commonplace book when i'm reading multiple books at the same time. I am very eclectic in reading and often hop between books and also i try to commonplace after each chapter or two (mostly because i find it very daunting to do it all after whole book - it feels to me a bit overhelming to do whole books at the end. My readings are mostly non-fiction and so i have many many notes after the readout) Do you have any advice ? Should i maybe reserve some space for each book i read in my commonplace book ? (but then there is always a problem with how much and so on) In simple words i don't know what to do if i wanted to make notes into CPB from few books simultaneously. Thank you wholeheartedly in advance for any tip, Anne.

Where do you put the letters Y and Z?

So meticulous! 🥰

Gorgeous, and very inspirational! I hope you have enjoyed revisiting your memories of Paris. 🥖🥐

Hi, I’m from Brazil! I loved the video. I’m researching the commonplace book as a tool for organizing studies. I’ve tried a few times, but it hasn’t worked because I feel like it will end up disorganized and lost. For example, if I start studying an organization course or take notes from a book I'm reading, but then switch to another topic, when I want to review, everything will be separated. How can I manage this? Do you still recommend it? How can I access the book that teaches John Locke’s method?

omg I didn't even realise at first that this is your actual common place book, I thought it was a printed book on some topic. Beautiful!

Love this, such a unique concept for a video and very inspiring too. Thank you!

Very helpful, thanks!

Merci, Sylvie, pour le partage 🌹 Salutations depuis la Suisse 🇨🇭

This is awesome

your videos are wonderful Sylvie. I initially discovered you ages ago when you did the commonplace book ones I would love to create a bucket list booklet.

Love your channel, that it is paper art without cutesy pastels, and the fact that you are focused on information and not the same self-help angle of many other videos on here! I wish KZbin had suggested this to me before I started multiple themed commonplace/repositories books this year. Might have to start one or two over. Would love to see future videos on how you approach structure so that the information and art fits neatly and looks like it was organized like a graphic designer importing content.

This is beaaautiful! I’m so inspired, thank you so much ❤

Wow! I’ve been watching many of your fascinating videos since I discovered your channel (which was only yesterday!) I have learnt so much already, so thank you Sylvie. Your talent and aesthetic is amazing, and your output is phenomenal! 🥰

So fascinating! Thank you for sharing.

I am so enjoying your explaining of how to do a commonplace book. I have watched so many journals over the years wanting to start a common place book but had no idea where to start. I’m reviewing all of your videos about common place books and I think it’s going to give me a good sendoff to get started on some thing. I’m so interested in for so long. Thank you

Thank you so very much for this video. I am totally new to this and planning on doing one for my upcoming trip to Spain! After watching several other videos on this topic, I can honestly say that yours has been the most informative and useful. Needless to say, I’ve subscribed to your page and will be binge watching all your other videos. Thank you once again. Also-your handwriting is beautiful!!

What a beautiful book and description of what and how you do. I would likr to learn how to index. Do you have recommendations of what courses I should take to be able to get jobs doing this? Many thanks!

The best TNC learning for the starter. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this. I am homeschooling our 2 boys and this is a great way to display some of their collection of shells and rocks. Unfortunately, they are all mixed up already.

❤

These are actual helpful tips rather than vague platitudes like follow your heart, etc. subjective rather than objectivie. Thank you!

So I could keep a commonplace book just full of quotes I’ve underlined in books?

A beautiful created travel art journal ☥...p.s. did you get vaccinated to go on your trip?

Another wonderful and infornative video, Sylvie! Love the care and creative design of your pages. Always excited to watch your new videos....keep up the great work!

😮 WOW!!!

Such a well done video! Answered all my questions. Thank you!!!

What a gorgeous book you made!! It is really stunning and it looks to me as the most beautiful history book. Making history more fun then boring, your book is the best thing I have seen ever. I love history, especially of the Great Masters, pitty you wrote the name of Vincent van Gogh wrong, my fav painter and Dutch like me. I have always had the idea of starting a study, but now I know what the most gorgeous and efficient way would be. I just strated this last week my first commonplace book, ofcourse all about art, but it is nothing like yours. I love what I have done so far, but your video gave me al the information I needed. I have seen so many videos about commonplace books, most are just writing with evey now and then some pictures etc, But your gorgeous book is such a great inspiration. especially all the info around the margins, so helpfull. I am on my way, love what I have done and with your video I know how I can make it even more me then it allready is. Thank you so much for this great video, have a nice day.

Colin, if anything this makes me trust you more. Keep your head up and keep up the good work 🤘

I would love to see how you took the plain notebook from ordinary to beautiful…your process . I’ve really enjoyed all your videos on commonplace books. Beautiful.

Is that the Indiana Jones book?

I’ve been watching your channel. Great info and practical suggestions. Thank you for the time and care you put in your videos. 👏👏👏

You're very thorough ... thank you!

So interesting! Your videos have inspired me to be more intentional with my journals. Curious, how would this be different from a common place journal? Looking forward to this series!!

This was a great informative video! Thank you!

I've just received my first TN and with only one elastic I don't understand how you attached the third section of your set-up. Will you please clarify this for me. Thank you.

Excellent video. I am curious why you did not choose binder paper or a notebook with perforated pages? Any thoughts on ensuring paper and writing remains usable for a lifetime longer? Off to another video of yours.

Thanks for the very useful video. I noticed the page layouts are beautiful. I thought the pictures were a.helpful addition to whoever reads your CP book. Where did you originally get the idea to create a common place book? How do you decide what you want to learn? What will you do with all.your learning and records of learning? I noticed there was no signs of errors like lines through words or arrows to look somewhere else for more information. Do you create a rough draft first? Do you made photos from books or magazines into your CP book? Do you have favourite reference sources? Sorry but I must ask, why don't you just look at an encyclopedia.when you want to revisit past learnings ? Are you reinventing the wheel? What notebooks do you use for your CP? What do yo think of binder paper for a CP?

Because you said you add the Latin names of the species it occured to me that i could use this to expand my vocabulary in foreign languages. I find i lack the words for specific bird or tree species. As i prefer drawing over writing, this is also much less intimidating to me than a commonplace book is, although I like your videos on those.

It would be wonderful to watch a video on the aging process you used here, it's beautiful.

I think what I have is my great grandfathers sisters common place book. She died young and never had children and he kept her book and gave it to my grandma who gave it to my mom who gave it to me. She wrote lots of quotes and poems. She wrote important dates and things that happened in those dates. It isn’t a journal in my opinion but I wasn’t sure what to call it. Now I have a name for this precious book of hers.

What a beautiful idea

What about Y and Z? Or are they not used enough to have in index?

Thank you for sharing these wonderful ideas and your beautifully set up commonplace book. It has been inspiring to say the least.

Super et incroyable! Je l'aime!

Beautiful journaling❤

I'm new to commonplacing and my book is too general for this but my brain really likes the concept and I appreciate you teaching it in a way my brain could absorb! Some of those pages in your art commonplace book are art themselves! 💜

Mais c'est tellement beau! Mon écriture et ma maladresse rendent les miens complètement moches!! mais bon ça marche. Enfin en quelque sorte..^^

What a beautifully simple concept for an intricately exquisite collection.
