I started a new blog called @ontakingnotes where I post everything related to, well, taking notes.
My premise has always been that a notebook is a tool of thought. However, the socioeconomic climate today promotes the commodification of self-improvement practices such as journaling, often reducing them to what's see-able, post-able, like-able, and purchasable.
Far from being grudgy and judgemental, I am the first person to post pictures of my notes, journals, etc. I am also trying to be more thoughtful in my consumption, and in my online presence. By that I mean I am trying to be more careful in what I take or give to the (on/off line) community. But I am not self-decieving and that’s why I recognize I will probably keep sharing this kind of content, because it makes me feel good and it is also a form of self-expression.
All that is to say that although the aesthetic part of taking notes is very valuable, it is also hyper-explored. And most importantly, it is not what note-taking is all about, contrary to what retailers want you to think.
If you want to expand your vision of the meaning and the different ways there exist of keeping a notebook, this is for you. In this new blog, you will find inspiring classifications, diagrams, metaphors, and reflections on note-taking and how it might actually change the way you think, and therefore, your life.

Calm and environment at Frizzant where I made S try matcha latte for the first time. It felt kind of weird being attended only in English in Barcelona but thankfully we both could manage it!

What books do you recommend for learning languages for beginners? ( any languages ) also what languages do you speak?
I speak Catalan and Spanish as a native of Catalonia (Spain). I learned English and a little French in school, so I never had to consider what book to use. However, last year I moved to Italy so I had to learn Italian. I also enrolled in a language course, but when that finished, I wanted to keep learning on my own. So I got a book. Here are the factors that helped me decide:
- It suits my level: the book should indicate who it is for. If you are a beginner you should look for A1 to A2 levels or just the elementary/beginner categories.
- It is fully written in the language I want to learn: I found some books that had explanations in Spanish and exercises in Italian. Unless you want to learn a language in a different alphabet, that will only slow down your learning process.
- It has a variety of exercises: although grammar is probably the hardest part of learning a language, it is not the only thing you should be focusing on. Search for books that have reading comprehension exercises, vocabulary, phonetics… a bit of everything!
The book I ended up getting to learn Italian is called Via della Grammatica by Mina Ricci and I’m really happy so far.

I love how piling books on the floor looks like, but I'm so skeptical. Like, doesn't a lot of dust get on them? Aren't they such a job to move every time you brush the floors?

I finally inherited my mum’s leather jacket. After asking her if I could use it, she just said “keep it” :)
