I use one notebook at a time and do all of these in there. I take it everywhere to write ideas, thoughts, quotes, notes on books, life organization, and goals.

@Jehanuary

Yes! Everyone must’ve thought I was so crazy at the cafe today when I pulled out notebooks nonstop out of my bag

@MisterCross

Notebook junkie since I was little kid. My dad was an industrial engineer, artist, photographer. He always had stacks of notebooks, drafting pencils artist pencils and pens in his desk and various sets of Cross pen & pencil sets, no we are not related to the Cross pens, haha. I always ran around as a kid with a leather binder my dad gave me and wrote in it when I was a kid. But my obsession with all things pen related began when I was in fourth grade and my 10th birthday my dad bought me my first Cross pen & pencil set ✒️📓📕

📓notebook buying junkie, below average at filling them out fully & organizing them… but working on it, which is one reason why I love this channel

@rjbracken09

I really enjoy your content.  Being a Marine Corps Veteran that has spent some time in Wounded Warriors—they taught me that carrying a notebook around and being able to log my day and reflect how that day went every evening is one of the best forms of therapy one can do for themselves.  I have multiple different notebooks but really like the idea of an analog lifestyle.  Keep up the great content! 📓

What woman wouldn't want to see a love journal written before they met you. One of the defining moments in our relationship was my husband showing me his teenage sketchbooks. I wasn't in them, or even any projection of me but his heart was and I will never forget what it felt like to be invited in to that.

As soon as I saw that  beautiful masterpiece of a mustache, I knew he wasn't bluffing about being a philosopher.

@deanatkinson9097

📘🧙🏻‍♂️I use a catch all, a work log book / to-do daily book, a sketchbook for ideas, a daily journal for thought and feelings… I think the trick is to find a level that suits you… I tried bullet journaling but found I was spending more time filling it in than actually working or thinking so dropped that… thanks for the videos really enjoy them

@MyHobbyChannel700

I have started using more and more notebooks because of your videos. I have a catch all pocket notebook, a reading log of sorts, a Sunday sermon journal, and I’m starting a nature log too. It’s been such a breath of fresh air to step away from technology (IT by trade) and take a more analog approach to things. 🧙🏼‍♂️

@Eli-jl2qu

I love these videos. So much useful info instead of the usual "this is how I decorate my journal" I´ve found so far. So much info that I find myself taking notes on how to take notes.

@andyscoles46

🤔📓 I'm here because I've been trying to simplify and declutter my digital life and write things down by hand more often, since I'm convinced there are mental benefits to doing so. I'm just trying to get ideas on how to build my notebook system. It has always felt overwhelming because the sky is literally the limit on what you can do with notebooks, and I haven't always been the best at actually writing in them habitually. Thanks for the suggestions!

@Joshua.B.Buzzard

I use notebooks for memorizing concepts in detail. Each page acts like a note card which logically proceeds from the next. These are kept in my pocket and I then recite the information throughout the day, looking as needed. I'm currently memorizing chapter summaries for every book in the Bible, as well as memory verses for the chapters. I want to hold the entire book in summarized form within my mind.

@Ryza_d

I've adopted a simple system:

- Catch all journal/diary: Literally just unload my brain into this one. Basically everything (except my other notebook stuff) goes here. Plans, thoughts, feeling, musings, etc.

- workout/training log: self explanatory. I know we have apps for this, but I just like physically writing it all down. 

- everyday carry pocket notebook: for catching stuff when I'm out and about that I needa remember. Plus things like shopping lists and dates/appointments I shouldn't be forgetting. 

- Manuscript/compendium/commonplace thingo: I just transfer my scribble of annotations from the books I'm reading just to try to retain some of that info. 

It's messy as hell, but that's a reflection of me as a person and I'm fine with it.

@rcollingridge1

I really like your videos on stuff like this, so much content about journaling is about productivity and optimising your time in quite a capitalistic way, while this is a lot more about living philosophically and intentionally - just feels a lot more sustainable and nourishing, it’s great

@egekoeln

You make me love notebooks and writing in general more and more with each video... 🧙🏼

@J.J.theLesbo

(📒) I started writing/journaling at the age of 10. It was more of a diary than anything, and it was mostly nonsensical ramblings of a young child. But as the years grew by, I grew fond of writing and just collecting and assessing my thoughts. Currently, I've only been writing for half a decade, but it has already helped me so much—from helping me realize the kind of person I am, realizing how my mind works, whom I wish to be in the future, and etc.

 And thanks to this video and channel, I now know what to call my notebooks and how to differentiate my journals, from my catch-it-all, and etc. Thanks so much, ParkNotes!

@stevengomez2669

📓 I’m kind of the opposite of you in how I notebook: there’s one for pretty much everything. Class notes (doing my second masters in theology) are in their own books, as is any fiction writing project. But my personal life gets one notebook. It’s my planner, diary, reflection journal, prayer journal, reading log, movie/show log… it’s like the paper version of me and my mind and it goes with me everywhere in a great leather cover.

I also want to take this chance to thank you for making these videos. I found your channel while looking for some inspiration about how to better organize and use my notebook, and came across your video about soliloquies. You’re pretty inspiring, Parker! This one gives me some great ways to think about my personal writing.

Please make that video about a personal handbook! And I’d also love to know where you studied theology. Keep up the good work, Notebook Sage and Wizard. 🧙🏼‍♂️

@DevSolitario

Your channel is incredible Mr. Parker, I just discovered your channel by accident and I don't regret following your content, you're incredible, keep making these types of videos

@nancyhalloran3044

Love the notebooks and the new videos and the fact that I don’t feel I need a degree to watch your videos anymore dude. Love the new look for sure hope you keep it going
