Build a second brain you will actually revisit.
Commonplace is designed around the habit that matters most: returning to your notes. Daily notes, weekly reviews, and linked references keep older material in circulation instead of drifting into storage.
Today
- Capture loose ideas during the day.
- Pull one older note into current work.
- End with a short summary for tomorrow.
This week
Surface unfinished threads and connect them to current work.
This month
Revisit projects that have gone quiet before they disappear.
Daily notes
Keep rough thinking in one place, then move durable material into longer-lived notes.
Weekly review
Bring back important notes, tidy the inbox, and link what should stay connected.
Long-term memory
Good notes become more useful as they collect context over time, not less.
