wip Currently using simply for taking some notes.
About digital commonplace book - I really like this idea and would like to replicate it in some ways.
Functions I appreciate - a flow of ideas/diary/notes/ect/ with back links and connections to specific topics/categories. Something that unlike a traditional journal is easily sortable into categories.
Journalling is a way to serve as a second brain - so what functions does your brain need to do that you can replicate in some way. Memory and recall - commonplace notebook helps with clear recall of information - especially research/learning.
In Combination with Zotero.
Task/Time Management - my base journal irl serves me best for this + trello - which I need to work on managing.
Idea/Thought Saving - Written/Visual ideas can be saved in a physical book. I believe the commonplace digital book is a goodway to recall this as well.
Other memory - sentimental/emotional memory. Junk journalling,sketch journalling, diary entry. These are good for this sort of recording.
Wellness/Mindfulness journalling... Pretty basic but never the less a helpful tool.
