COMMONPLACE NOTEBOOKS 201

This is my Substack piece that goes way deeper than the quick 101 in the video—I call it a “201.” If you want clear steps, organization ideas, and prompts/categories to steal so you can start immediately, this is the guide.

Pros

+More in-depth than the video
+Clear structure for getting started fast
+Includes organization and key ideas

Cons

-You’ll still need to choose a system that fits your own brain
