Brief follow-up to the commonplace-book discussion
January 29, 2014 @ 5:48 pm | Filed under: Commonplace Book
It occurred to me that I could use the voice-record feature on my phone to dictate a quote directly into Evernote. Then, later, when I’m back at my laptop, I can clean up the typos (voice recording always generates some gems) and paste the quote into my Tumblr, which, as I mentioned the other day, I’ve decided to try out as my commonplace book.
I’m still using my tumblr to collect other articles as well, but I’m using a tag to collect all the book quotes I want to hold on to. So far, I’m enjoying the process: the format encourages me to add my own thoughts below a quote, if I wish, but there’s no pressure.

You could use an ifttt recipe to save yourself the copy and pasting step- just search for an evernote to tumblr recipe.

You’ve inspired me to stop using the beautiful moleskin notebooks that I -can never find when I need them- and start a new blog. I’m just getting started and I wanted to thank you for the inspiration.
