i write down all the new-to-me words i encounter while reading and turn them into digital index cards. i've also been realizing lately that there's a lot of words i don't actually know the meanings of despite being familiar with them. those go in the cards too.

I started writing new words i come across or words i feel like ive known forever but donāt feel like i know their full meaning in the back of my planner. I think iām getting back into the practice of being more careful with my words. Itās not in a way thatās restrictive or suffocating but more so in a way thatās playful and fun :3 It usually leads me to more questions to google around and figure out or get lost in. Like i love the kind of diagrams like this Coastal Landforms one that showed up when I was trying to figure out what a āgloupā was.
sometimes i canāt read my own handwriting though :/.

Even if you think you know a word.
I do this all the time when I am reading and writing. I do it to double check that I am using a word in the right context, or to double check that I want to use this word in this context. Maybe by looking up the definition I will see a synonym that I like better. Or maybe Iāll learn a new definition / alternate use for that word. I make myself mini dictionaries in my journal and my notes app

My desk is cluttered with loose paper full of notes on books and articles and Wikipedia pages I read and half-read. writing down the things that stick with me helps me commit them to memory, and knowing things is nice, especially when the information isnāt particularly applicable in my every day lifeā¦
