Do you have any suggestions from your commonplace book?

Do you have any suggestions from your commonplace book?

I just learned what a commonplace book was and am eager to create mine, unfortunately I have the perfect use case for it, but as it does not exist yet I was hoping you might be able to share some of your favorite quotes/poems that fit this circumstance?

I am creating a dashboard for my planner and want something inspirational or beautiful or calming to add to the page pictured, ideally that also fits the vibe I am curating. I am using kind of an old west/desert theme. I am trying to find a balance between the emotion/energy of industriousness/planning/discipline and the soothing desolation of the desert/quiet beauty the tired cowboy reflects upon

TIA!

Wanted an aesthetic dashboard... and it only cost me my sanity

This was the best I could come up with in four hours. haha. I think my favorite part is the toolbar quick navigation. It will definitely reduce some friction from having to always find the links to my kanban boards in my folders. And since I don't really use daily notes anymore I needed to have a place to dump all my tasks, so creating a master list will also help reduce friction and creating unnecessary notes

Bought the wrong insert but made it work

Initially I had an A6 binder, but the inserts were for a personal size. Ultimately I decided to use an A5 in part so I didn't have to worry about the confusion around A6 and personal being used interchangeably. I didn't want to waste the inserts though so I tweaked them to work for my A5.
