Go grab one for the new year! https://cottonbureau.com/products/the-theme-system-journal#/6880807/grey-paper-5x8

NOburn didn't recommend this video and now it's sold out, haha.

Brian's book (from Family Guy)

Sold out. :-(

@Xophe A'dethri Literaly unplayable. (what did it cost? for once its something i would have liked to buy to support cortex cottage, but its already sold out)

Very sad to see its sold out 🙁

1:05 Order of the Phoenix?

lol.. you got me interested ... and it was already sold out.. :(

Hey grey, is the notebook vegan?

I still use resolutions. Well, less of a resolution and more of a goal I set for myself who knows when. My only goal


is not to die

Why wasn't this recommended earlier?

Please bring it back, I need 4 (one for me and my three siblings)

It's sold out for a while now. Do you not like money or something? Get them to make some more buddy!

That smooth animation just thrown in there just blew my mind. I can't handle more than 0.5 frames per second.

thought journals are stupid

Dam if only I actually enjoyed writing

Already sold out

New CGP Grey video? About journaling??! 🤩 Sorry I missed that, I thought I had clicked the bell for your channel ^^
Have you tried Bullet Journaling?

Those pens are the absolute best!

The theme system was also a system of land division established under Byzantine Emperor Heraclius, basically an early feudalism designed to tie the livelihoods of the army to the land they were defending

Is there more coming? Sold out :( I would like to be effectively frustrated

Would this work well with fountain pens?

Wow, your handwriting is terrible. You must be a doctor.

Here I was expecting him to be writing a journal about the Theme system in the byzantine empire where powerful nobles would be granted military and administrative power over a portion of land (the Theme, or Themata) as a Strategos.

hey, just got recommended this today, thanks algorithm... out of stock. lovely.

years of watching grey's video from the jump - i turn off notifications end of last year and now I'm waitlisted on this. BOOOOOOOO ... me i guess.

Ngl, I thought this would be a succinct explanation of Byzantine administration.
Boy was I wrong.

Oh I wish I had seen this video earlier, it's sold out atm :(

Yes, but when are we getting your Meme Journal, Grey?

Bring it back!! I need one!! 😫

can i just say that grey's handwriting is totally teacher handwriting.

Well he used to be a physics teacher so you're onto something

How many bees have you hidden in total?

Stanford study on shutdowns.

What was the price?

why did I only find this now after its sold out xD

Come on, it’s already sold out?!

BRING IT BACK INTO STOCK PLEASE

1:49 damn smooth animation there.

1:18 that is cool

I think I just willingly watched an advertisement for entertainment.

Everybody gangsta until Grey's hand is fully animated

Sold out :(

Should have rung that bell!

I found this video too late; the journal is sold out!

This does sound like hippie nonsense.

@Manored I was like this too for a while. Trying to be as logically minded as possible, however, it's very interesting to look at mysticism for example from a psychological point of view. It opens some interesting avenues. I'm still very sceptical and I'm still a pretty hard determinist, but when you start to understand these things from a psychological perspective, the reasons for why we use things like journals becomes a lot more evident.

@Mebzy I have the same problem/feature

CGP Grey is a robot, anything that seems emotional rather than logical sounds like hippie nonsense to him.

18 months for a glorified agenda? That thing better do your taxes for you.

Will it be back in stock soon?

Hi CGP, I missed this video because I haven't clicked the bell icon. now this journal is completely sold out and i am sad

So appreciate the effort.

Why don’t you do a digital version of the Theme Journal? I would love to support cortex and I like the idea, but I don’t really use paper. I’m sure I’m not the only one that buy it, and it would be a cheaper alternative.

Head of the Order of Bestagons

Following up that theme of self improvement you're speaking up in a few of your last videos- I would be very interested in what you meant by your 'time tracking' approach. If you're up to it, I would love to see a video where you explain how that works, how you do it and why and all those interesting things. You already got me with Weekend Wednesday (although i must admit, I had that one almost figured out by myself anyway, just not es detailed and well articulated) and with the theme, of course, so figuring that most of your approaches seem to work for me, I would be more than happy to use my precious time on this beautiful planet (hippie alert!) a lttle more how I really want.
Anyways, thanks a huge lot for your amazing content. Your videos are a ray of light in these _unprecedented_ times...

CGP Grey: opens mouth
Us: “I’LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!”

Very interesting

Hoping for a restock!

yuck you write serif

Great, now I want to spend some money on this and actually use it.
And....it's sold out.

It is sold out 😔

1:45 "Pen-penetration testing" also known as "pen-testing"

Be honest, you wrote in the middle page so you could pull it out later without leaving an ugly tear!

Holy heck, that smooth page turn

thought we were getting a video on medieval byzantine administration oh well

So, from your description, I'm guessing that you do this in the morning upon waking. I'm impressed that your brain works well enough at such an early hour to actually string some sentences together. Bravo! :-)

ITS SOLD OUT

1:49 That is one CLEAN animation right there, nice job!

Glad I revisited the theme video last year. I could swear this video and the 'Grey reads 'videos have not been in my subscription feeds! FU youtube. I must resub to email notifications it seems.

I got my copy of your journal today, and I have to say: This is one of the most texturally-pleasing, nicest looking, un-intimidating journals that I have ever had the pleasure to hold. Well done!

I’m so upset this is sold out D:

I just got mine in the mail. What are the little corners with the holes punched out for?

You can tear them off as you go so next time you can open it to the latest page quickly

Sold out Boo! 😥

I don't know why I felt a twinge of panic seeing the stick figure actually move so smoothly.

Sold out 😞

I was thinking of the Eastern Roman theme system... oh well

What's "The Order"?

"Oh cool maybe I can learn some tips from this vid on how to plan my da.....oh no.....he wants to sell me a notebook....."

noo... I didn't make it. Now it is sold out. ;(

Jesus that notebook closing animation was smooth as all hell. That must have been a pain and a half.

Aww man sold out??

Damn, I slept on this for a week over the holidays and they've already sold out. Congrats Grey! any word on a possible future restock...?

This is nerdy af

You should send one to John Green because this is most assuredly his jam... :)

Dotted notebook. A man of culture as well.

New subscriber here from Texas. SOLD OUT 😪

The animation at 1:49 is so smooth! To be more precise whenever he is flipping through the book the animation is so smooth.

Darn. I missed this. Please get more in stock.
My 2021 theme is "Freedom and Independence"

Hey Grey, it's sold out already. Will you have more in stock eventually ??

sold out :(

Merry Science, or something.

all sold out :(

Sold out

It is very sold out.

ugh

Or you can just buy the cheapest notebook at your local supermarket and use that.

Ordered.

The thumbnail made it look like it was a monolith in a desert.

Nooooooo they’re all gone!!!!!!!

This looks perfect for people who like to play Dots.

lol

Wow, your handwriting is really bad. I can't unknow that now.

So interested in the story of the “frustratingly effective” gratitude journal - if you’re willing to share, dear, Grey

Since its sold out is there a way to get a layout to start with a normal journal? I had to wait till payday and by then it was sold out. I still want to purchase it but I want to be prompt in my start of this year.

What a great idea for a merch product

Spaceship-Me sorta works for me, though it´s a little bit difficult to not mix up your areas :D
I´m in my second soft-lockdown now, getting paid for staying at home. Think i´ll give this a try.

The page flipping animation 1:49 at 60fps was a joy to watch and it struck me immediately

same

aaaaaaand it's sold out.

Convinced me to buy one...but it's entirely sold out 😭

What is the deal with the little torn corners?

It's to find more easily the different kinds of pages
