Mystery pianists & Halloween pumpkins
Hey cool people! How is it going? I hope all is well! Yesterday I was unable to send the newsletter, because I spent it with my family, and I took the opportunity to make a scary Halloween pumpkin for my child.

New small bet: "Mystery Pianist"
I'm in a furious crazy stage in my life, where I have new ideas every day.
I had a random thought some month ago, telling myself: "How cool should be to play piano covers on YouTube as a pianist in the dark".
Well, Sunday I recorded 10 little videos in this new character as Mystery Pianist".
The goal is to get feedback to see if I'll keep on I'll quit. No other options :D
I went from idea to the action in 7 days: the first tweet is on October 10th, 2022π
Other stuff
I love the freeze function of column on Excel to block a table column while scrolling all the data. But what about that in Notion?
Short answer: it's not possibile. But... but there's a way.
Here is my tweet.
Christina remind us automation is effective when you automate the right things, and you already optimized that.
I'm there too: I love automations, but there's the right moment to scale.
In the beginning you should have to do things that don't scale, and that need to be optimized.
Follow Christina, she's very very good.
Useful resources
My friend Ray wrote the ultimate resource to Personal Productivity Techniques!
He is an expert of Personal Knowledge Management, and you can see it from how it manages a large amount of information, as in this article.
Ray has gone through many methods, among which the ones I use the most:
the GTD and the Eisenhower Matrix, which I discovered in Stephen Covey's book: The 7 Habits of Highly.
