Thank you for this very generous advertisement for the CBC. It's wonderful to know that commonplace books have accompanied so many of us through our intellectual lives. I've used your Connection Notebook idea in my courses, and the students always get so much out of it!
This post has two items that immediately grabbed my attention: 1) a challenge to do something within a time limit that could help with creative thinking; and 2) an image of someone else's process in completing the challenge (a photo of your notebook). I love seeing how you spatially use the pages to both document and reflect. Thanks for sharing the challenge and pointing me to another substack to follow!
I’ve kept various commonplace books at different points in my life (even in high school, before I knew there was a name for it). I’m excited to try this month-long-commitment!
