Just about everyone can become and expert in any topic by using commonplace books. In this video I introduce how I use commonplace books as a commonplace for collecting ideas about a particular topic, including my own ideas, with the goal of becoming an expert on that topic. By taking marginal notes in the books, essays, journal articles, etc., and moving the most important notes to a commonplace book and by taking notes from audio mediums like podcasts, courses, and YouTube presentations in your commonplace book, you can create a one-stop-shop for building expertise.
