Life is made up of ordinary moments. The smell of soup on a cold day. Something someone said that made you laugh. A recipe worth making again. An idea you don't want to lose.
A Commonplace Book is a place to keep them.
Collect thoughts, lists, ideas, memories, plans, recipes, notes about the garden or your latest hobby — along with all those everyday things that make up a life.
Designed with a clean, faded dot-grid layout and plenty of space to write, this book adapts to the way you think. Follow the dots when they're useful. Ignore them when they're not.
Use it as a commonplace book, bullet journal, reading journal, planner, family notebook, project book, or something entirely your own. There are no rules about what belongs here. If it matters to you, it belongs.
Preserve a favourite recipe. Plan your week. Work through an idea. Record something you don't want to forget. Make a list. Scribble down a sentence you overheard. These pages are designed to grow more valuable with every mark you make.
It also makes a thoughtful gift for the woman who is notoriously hard to buy for. Your mum, sister, daughter, friend, mother-in-law — the woman who doesn't really need more stuff, but you'd still like to give her something chosen especially for her. Give it blank and let it become entirely hers, or write a little something on the first page before you wrap it.
Because this book is about your whole life, not some imaginary division between "work" and "life," I've also created a companion blog at The Commonplace Society.
There you'll find little stories and new ways of looking at old things. Each story ends with three simple takeaways — perhaps one becomes a line in your commonplace book, perhaps a paragraph, or perhaps an entire page you want to explore.
No grand reinvention required. Sometimes it's one little tweak, practised over time, that changes what happens next.
My Commonplace Book is useful enough for every day, personal enough to become entirely your own, and lovely enough to give.
Ordinary ideas, arranged beautifully.
Because the most meaningful things in life are often the ones we almost forget to notice.
