What Is A Commonplace Book & Why You Need One

Commonplacing or having a commonplace book is characterized by having a book where you write/collect information. In other words, it is a way to compile knowledge. The premise is having a central repository for ideas, anecdotes, quotes, observations, facts, and information that you come across in life.

I keep a Commonplace book and it is a constantly rewarding practice. As the following quote from the post linked says…

Commonplacing is the act of creating the best book you’ve ever owned.
