"Keep a notebook. Travel with it, eat with it, sleep with it. Slap into it every stray thought that flutters up into your brain." - Jack London Write Ideas . Michel Foucault called the journal a "weapon for spiritual combat." A Common Place Book is a quaint name for a journal. Journaling is the most important habit you can cultivate for personal growth. Commonplace books are a way to compile knowledge. Its a personal repository of stuff you come across and find interesting. By writing the information in a book, you are more likely to remember it and you have a record of it to refer to. Its a scrapbook. Fill with whatever catches your fancy: quotes, poems, ideas, proverbs, thoughts, dreams, recipes. Its a mosaic of your mind and interests. Its a place where you can make connections over time and reveal yourself to you. Its a cognitive net that catches fleeting thoughts that otherwise recede and vanish. Its your autobiography. Try it. It will change your life."You may want to keep a commonplace book which is a notebook where you can copy parts of books you think are in code, or take notes on a series of events you may have observed that are suspicious, unfortunate, or very dull. Keep your commonplace book in a safe place, such as underneath your bed, or at a nearby dairy."― Lemony Snicket
