It's pretty long (65 pages and growing at this point), but I do try to share some stellar quotes here at the blog every so often: http://davidabramsbooks.blogspot.com/.../Words%20of%20Wisdom<br /><br />Here's a nice article on how and why to keep a commonplace book: https://ryanholiday.net/how-and-why-to-keep-a-commonplace-book/David Abramshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06013514596973186440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8407679229975998493.post-85514961005618503132019-12-15T10:00:58.809-07:002019-12-15T10:00:58.809-07:00David, this is wonderful.

I have journals that I clip sticky notes to in an effort to organize and find things later. I have notes in books that I then can't find later. There are two things I want to do better with: capturing what I observe and hear (memory), and capturing the important things I want to save from my reading and learning. The Commonplace Book is a perfect concept. <br />Elizabeth Marrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13102870789217425330noreply@blogger.com
