Trivia:

After Leonardo da Vinci's heir Francesco Melzi collated and published Leonardo's advice on creativity and inventions in the Codex Urbinas called 'Tratatto della Pittura' (Treatise on Painting).

Leonardo had 11 insights, the 5th advice (find a system of reasoning or discussion within himself) is really applicable to a scientific labbook:
"Pay constant attention to the world around you and, as Leonardo says, find a method for digesting and learning from it. Take notes and look for patterns. Think it out. Engage deeply"
