I need to have a journal. Maybe a commonplace journal. Or would it be a compendium. Or woud it just be a subject journal on the question of me figuring out my persona knowledge managment system.
Journals are for thoughts and diaries are for experiences ad feelings according to parker.
Park Notes in this video breaks down notebooks into three different purposes.
- Thoughts (Journals and Commonplace Books)
- Self-Generated Thoughts
- Journals for thoughts in General
- Journals for thoughts on a particular subject (Topic specific Journal)
- Dianoia Journal a journal for thinking things through,, for developing and pushing ideas. kind of like a brainstorm journal. Thinking through your own ideas. To know and develop what you think better.
- An Idea journal. A journal for keeping track of all your ideas and bring them to completion.
- A book of soliloquys a discussion with yourself about something
- Book Reviews and Notes
- Personal Handbook or code of ethics or living code.
- Gleaned Thoughts
- Common Place books
- General : collection of all favorite quotes Zilballdone
- Specific: Christianity, ethics, Philosohy of Mind
- Treasury: Just quotes
- Manuscript: With Annotation and thinking with quote
- Commpendiums
- If commonplace books are for quotes these are for information.;;
- Think of field guides… they are comprehensive in scope and only include information
- Lecture Notes
- Persoanl Dictionary (in Combination with Anki)
- Experience (Diary)
- Diaries
- Daily

I want to add a fourth
- Creativity
- Sketchbook
- Video Scripts
- Poetry Book
- Manuscript
Botbooks I want to keep:
- Memorization
- Book reviews and notes
- Idea Journal (Maybe a collection in a Bullet Journal? Or Should Ideas become there own specific journal. I should probably Catch-All in my Bullet and then move to a topic Specific Journal)
- Eros (ALready Exists… Its really Like a Manuscript Commonplace under words like Marriage, Love, Eros, Wife)
- Dictionary (Lexicon Journal, Put new entries into Anki)
- Wants List (I want this to be built out in my Notion this is kind of what I am hoing Property can become)
- Reading Log (This should be simple) keep it in my Bullet and input it into muy Notion each Month)
- Catch All (Bullett Journal)
- bullett journal
- I would like to better keep a daily diary too. Here I could keep drerams and feelings. But most of my feelings are around finding my wife, so a lot could go in Eros. But also, I had a little fit the other night just watching that YouTube video that inspired me… Also all the stuff going on with my Dad and even Alyssa cause I wouldnt want my wife reading that.
- I can use topical journals for subjects I am very interested in understanding, Like poetry and art, and Philosophy, and Web3 / Computer Science, Latin, Greek. Language Learning in General.
- I can use commonplaces for people and books as well as subjects that I am less interested in learning that in just surveying.
- Then I have creative Manuscript work books for poetry for essays for video scripts.
Just based on me what do I think I could have commonplace notebooks about:
Film
American Lit
Poetry
Language Learning
How to best Learning
How to best organize Knowledge and Reality
Creativity
Art
Philosophy
FInance and Economics or Business and Entrepreneurship
Literature
Wisdom
Health
Shoud I have commonplace books for specific major authors like Whitman, Emerson, Shakespeare?
Basically I don’t need tons of Commonplace Note books.
Maybe I just use Locke’s system or maybe I just keep a Zilbaldone or like a manuscript Zilbaldone and then from there assign a heading to each entry and put it into my Notion. Then in my notion I can have an easily managable, neatly organized commonplace books. BUt in the physical realm I just keep an unsorted commonplace book. I would like to have subject journals though. Another thing is that I would just like to have my journals neatly organized to read through. In some ways I would prefer that to my own website I think. But maybe that isnt true… I am not sure. But I know I don’t necessarily want to have to carry ariound so many notebooks. Especially with me getting my daylight tablet soon and stuff.
