A commonplace book is a system for writing down and sorting all manner of tidbits: quotes, anecdotes, observations, and information gleaned from books, conversations, movies, song lyrics, social posts, podcasts, life experiences, or anything else that you might want to return to later.
It’s called a commonplace book because you collect all of this in one common place—a central resource that makes it easy to find, re-read, and utilize each piece of wisdom you have obtained. I first came across this concept of a commonplace book from one of my favorite authors Ryan Holiday. I keep a physical notecard version of my commonplace book but wanted to digitize it on my blog as well to make sure I have access to all of my favorite quotes no matter where I am.
