When I wish to interrupt one  \ntrain of thought, I shut that drawer and open another.  \nDo I wish to sleep, I simply close all the drawers and  \nthen I am asleep.”  \n~Napoleon  \n􀁸 (1) Choose a medium: Physical or digital. Evernote and OneNote are most popular.  \no I use Evernote. Then you can sync it nicely to your phone and work/learn from anywhere (provided you are creative) . Plus they have a great tagging system.  \n􀁸 (2) Divide your life in areas.  \no Common example 1: Work | Health | Finance  \no Common example 2: Business | Network | Blog  \n􀁸 (3) Subdivide these areas: more examples.  \no Work: Tasks | To-learn | Get a raise  \no Health: Diet | Gym | Stretching  \no Finance: Costs | Income | Investments  \n􀁸 (4) Build around your self-studies:  \no Book summaries  \no Articles read/videos watched/podcasts listened  \no Business best practices  \no Mental models  \n􀁸 (5) Many additional tips:  \no Select a few main categories for the most important areas of your life (too many and you will forget) and keep using them until they become automatic associations and part of your pattern recognition; like the different drawers of Napoleon’s mind.  \n􀂃 Ex: “Bills-home/office/food/misc”  \n􀂃 Ex2: “Blog-topic/idea/guest post/code”  \n􀂃 Ex3: “Business-task/idea/acquisition/marketing”  \no Create an overview document with interlinked documents by category. If you have many links, you should put them in a table or a matrix for easy oversight.  \no 3 extremely useful commonplace systems everyone should use:  \no 1) Review File: Look over quarterly. Link to book summaries, top articles, and lists of best practices + mental models for different areas.  \no 2) Daily Lessons: You want to follow a template, or it will be bothersome. The one I use has three overview texts with bullets: “Put in place”,“Top 3 takeaways” and “Another interesting observation I had was…”. You can auto-create these templates every day (or whichever other time interval you want; maybe you want to do a quarterly analysis) using the websites IFTTT or Workflow and syncing it with  \nEvernote/OneNote.  \no 3) Money Ideas: Ordered by ease and expected outcome.  \nMore at:  The Ultimate Commonplace System.","cbCairBaRvC8UVZx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairBaRvC8UVZx","pdf",804924,"English","# Choose a medium - physical or digital\n# Divide life into areas and subdivide\n# Build around self-studies\n# Create categories, tags, and an overview document\n# Commonplace systems to use\n## Review file - quarterly review\n## Daily lessons - templates and automation\n## Money ideas - ordered by ease and outcome","[{\"question\":\"What is “commonplacing” and how does this guide approach it?\",\"answer\":\"Commonplacing is organizing different thoughts and subjects into a structured system.
