I went to a keynote at a history conference focussed on the difficult times we're in, and the one thing the speaker noted is that we need to be generating primary sources for the generations to come regarding what were doing and how we were getting through. Digital sources are well and good, but so much is lost to the cloud or to the graveyard of abandoned social media. These ideas seem like viable ideas to generate those sources - deliberate, meaningful ways of storing thoughts and ideas- as long as they don't just fall into the trap of mindless consumption, they can be such an act of hope and mindfulness. Loved the video!

Pocket catch all onotebook/Journal (Like an inbox notebook) Zibaldone: collection of different kind of things (favorite things, quotations, thoughts) Common place book: collection of quotations. You use Headings to catalog. You keep. You remember. General and Specific Treasury and Manuscript Mix and match 😅

[@DivergentIntegral]

Just as an aside: music students in 18th-century Italy also kept notebooks called zibaldone. These were used specifically to record basic building blocks of musical compositions that recurred over and over in that era (and which modern music historians call "schemata").

📓 The one way you can easily trim down the search is with a rear index. As long as you have some sort of page count in the bottom, you can always make the generic categories and page numbers visible. That way you are targeting your searches a bit better. There also could be a "master" index depending on the volumes of Zibaldones you have, where you would consult it first with maybe some more refined search methods (names, catchphrases, so on and so on). I think you might be onto something here and I am happy to give it a go for sure!

[@kristinamarieasl]

Master Index for sure! In mine I write a description of the notebook I am referencing (color, art on the cover) but I’m sure one could also number them or use stickers. Parker’s really cool stickers come to mind. 🥋

Sometimes you get recommended a pure gem of a channel. I found this video extremely helpful and informative. I had no idea I have been creating my own Zibal done books for decades. Now I need to embrace the Common Place book practice. I enjoyed the discussion with Roland Allen.

[@sarahherrick830]

This is great! The commonplace book idea has always felt too rigid for me as I dont usually delve so incredibly deeply into specific topics but like collecting bits and pieces of many concepts. I had not heard of the zibaldone before, but it sounds much more like what I gravitate towards in my notebooks. I love the idea that people would share theirs and write in their friends' books as well. It goes to show that people are fundamentally similar across the ages and we all like collecting and sharing interesting information with each other, be it tumblr blog or zibaldone.

[@jenniferadam2258]

📓 I index both my catch-all notebooks and zibaldone journal after they're nearly full by listing topics and page numbers, and then color coding subjects for quick reference. For example, I often jot down recipes I want to try in the midst of all the other notes. Then I highlight the margin of any recipe page (usually with a brown mildliner). I also tend to jot down ideas for current writing projects, and those margins are typically highlighted blue. Facts from nonfiction reading get a color, quotes from fiction another. Bible verses or theological quotes get purple margins. I add the color key to my index and then it's quite easy to quickly flick through my notebooks and see at a glance exactly what each page holds. I find there's less wasted space using this method of organization than if I try to guess ahead of time how much space to allocate any particular topic, but it's still simple to locate information for later reference.

[@kristinamarieasl]

Yes!! The color coding is an at a glance win! I have purple for Bible/spirit/personal development. 💜

[@yuebing7]

I've made my "catch all" notebook a small A7 ring binder, so that I can easily separate and categorize all of my thoughts and ideas. It makes it so much easier to log what I need and discard what I don't. I've definitely had various zibaldone journals over the years. I was unaware that there was a name for it though. Very interesting.

[@tiggyswain9186]

Ive been keeping what I call a “Common Catch-all” for several years now, I’m an artist who is constantly coming up with ideas for new paintings throughout the day, and my small pocket common catch-all is the perfect place to quickly record quick sketches and notes on ideas, as well as anything I read or hear that’s inspiring. I also put mundane things like lists or little journal entries, and I love the immediacy and spontaneity of it. It’s become a completely indispensable part of my artistic process and my life in general! Its a free place to be as messy or clean as I want, without the pressure of my nicer, more polished sketchbooks or journals.

[@diannad8905]

Wow, thank you for your content. Somehow, you climbed into my head and organized what my thoughts were based on how I wanted to capture my thoughts, insights, quotes, etc. Great! I get to add another notebook....

📓 Excellent video as always, brother. Been really upping my notebook-game for study and this helps to further my note-taking journey. Apparently I had a Zibaldone this whole time!

[@kristinamarieasl]

Thank you so much for going into such detail & just being naturally passionate about notebooking! I found this extremely valuable! 📓 I began bullet journaling in 2018 however these journals quickly became inconsistent & chaotic to look through. Each time I finished a notebook I would pull the best parts (similarly to when you finish your catch-all) & transfer them into the next one. Unable to focus while flipping through the catch-all/planner/collection pages I would become deflated. I finally decided to transfer any useful information from each notebook to index cards. The index cards helped me focus on a single idea or list at a time while no longer feeling the pressure that comes with a notebook. Touching & seeing each idea was a huge win for me as I could move them around freely without being bound to a spine. This year I found the Zettelkasten Method, Common Place Books & Zibeldone. With the information you provided in this video I feel like I now have a clear definition & truly understand the Common Place Books. Thank you Parker!!! Would love to hear your thoughts about Zettelkasten. Have you ever tried this Method?

[@intermundosmagicae]

📕Loved the video and happy I found your channel :) I always used a notebook since as long as I can remember, but always had this issue of not completing them or not getting back to them... Just recently I stumbled on the term commonplace book and started going down that fascinating rabbit hole :D Now I'm hooked! Thank you for making such in-depth analysis, it was an eye-opener for me!

[@hushingsilence]

Nearly 50 years of journaling/writing, I consider my main book a commonplace/journal/quotes/everything book. I do have other notebooks, but after 50 years, I guess I have a bit of experience. Yeah, of course shopping lists and stuff go elsewhere. But my main books? Pure gold. Stacks of gold.

I always struggled with journaling. Everyone in my family journals in the classic "Write everyday and put bullet points" way, but I have ADHD and CANNOT keep a journal. I tried to and got bored five days in. I found out about commonplace books and zibaldones recently and realized that Ive been keeping zibaldones and catch-all notebooks for years. I have a bunch of little pocket notebooks with random tidbits of information I picked up here and there. Right now, I have a proper commonplace book for my master's degree. I use colored tabs to mark the pages where there's info for the Introduction of the thesis, where's the bibliography, quotes taken from articles I've been reading, etc. and it has been very helpful.

[@helencooper286]

This contains a lot of gems thank you. I love it all - the Zibaldone, Commonplace, Marginalia - it’s so valuable. I agree with a previous commenter about documenting events now - they’ll be history and they need to be accurately recorded. Digital is too easy to change. It can’t be trusted. An analogue statement may be false of course, but you can see if it has been changed

[@larryhoover7389]

📓 I am finding your videos to be very helpful. Thanks.

[@jsmxwll]

i've found that keeping an index to my notebooks really helps. i have an index notebook that has a keyword on the top of each page. when i am done with a notebook, i review it and add a reference to the notes under their associated keywords in my index. it's a pretty simple system. i replicate my index digitally for easier searching. if i'm on the computer i use digital notes, if i'm out and about or reading a book i usually use analog.

[@michaelns9887]

I think Zibaldone can be use like a Catch-all, but not the one that you carry in a pocket all the time, but rather the one that you pull out when listening to a lecture or reading a book. And, similarly to a Catch-all, you would move knowledge from a Zibaldone into a relevant Commonplace book.

[@ParkerNotes]

Yes! I like this. That's basically what I'm doing with my new Zibaldone, except I'm not putting tasks in it like I would a catch-all

[@eris5497]

This came across my recommendation and just decided to watch it. I never thought I've been practicing this since then. I really love notebooks as a kid and as I grow, it slowly developed into wanting to write ideas, tasks, and journaling. I use it mainly for writing stories and as of now, it's scattered on other things 😅 Thank you for sharing this, I'll definitely put this into practice.

Going to write all of this down in my catch-all notebook, so I’ll remember it for next time. 😂 I already keep a zibaldone, which I call my “quotes book”, just full of quotes that inspire me.

Thanks for the great video!

[@GregoryCM]

Hi Parker, great content, as always. I use what you call a "Catch All" book, too. I call mine HCE - after one of the characters of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake, HCE= Here Comes Everyone, so this notebook catches everybody, everything, all of it. No matter where I start a new entry, I put the date. At the very beginning I leave 3-5 Index/Context pages blank, so that if it is extremely important I can put the theme or category with the date (rather than page number - but you could do it that way too, I guess). When I come to the end of the notebook I can peruse through it and fill out the Index/Content/Context pages at the beginning with whatever detail it needs. I am not super consistent with it, but this is my method. Thanks for all you do here!

It seems to me that the early Common place books were probably more of the form of an "Everbook" note collection. Where loose pages would be kept in a leather wallet, rather than a bound notebook.
