Notes

1. Pocket (A7) & Apple Notes is usually the starting entry point of my notes, which are mostly temporary, rough, and ephemeral notes. Some of them, though optional, tend to get transferred to the Journal or the Commonplace.
2. Journal (A5) in a physical notebook. I have also started writing a recollection of my life’s story, like a memoir, in plain-text.
3. Commonplace (A5) is a knowledge base in a physical notebook and digital plain text written in markdown.
4. Kids (A5) is a unique physical notebook for my daughters. I write stories about them, and for them to read.

As of 2025-April, my physical notebooks is the Midori MD Paper and digital plain-text is managed by Obsidian. I’ve decided to simplify the physical notebooks to two standard paper sizes - A5 and A7.
