I’ve fallen back in love with Commonplace Books. I was making these way back in high school and didn’t realize it, and now I’m starting the practice back up again. I love the synthesis of it, and the way it really pulls me into whatever I’m reading because I imagine what I’d “tell” my CpB about it. Which, yes, is just summarizing, but when it’s your own book of notes, things that resonate with you, it feels like telling a small paper friend.

Filing Index Cards with a C-Line Document Sorter

I discovered a new thing about a week ago & now I’m obsessed.
#CommonPlaceBooks! The idea is one central (common) place to store lots of information you want to refer back to in the future with no real rhyme or reason except maybe grouped into topics. Index cards are good for individual info as you can move them around.
I already do this with my OneNote notebooks. I have a “quick notes” section then I organise them into topics later but of course I’ve had to buy a book etc to make a book version! 😉
