Better Creating

Curating your Intentional tech ecosystem to design your best life. Simon - Tech YouTuber 👉 Notion & AI templates:

I made a whole video about it: Unplugging and being present - while AI keeps notes and shares them in a way you can rely on! And while you have your first ice bath!

How about you? How's your attention span these days? 👇

This is me post ice bath on an "IN REAL LIFE" event. Why do we even say that now?
Well — maybe because it's already such a strange sentence. Everyone's trying to unplug in 2026, - but I'm a tech creator so... I unplugged from screens while my AI took notes. Hear me out...

[Better Creating @bettercreating]

I got home with handwritten notes I actually remembered making.

And a full searchable transcript of every keynote sitting in Notion. Sent the recap to the whole group that night.

Analogue attention on the input. AI on the recall.

Day 1 it's basic. Day 100 it's a compounding asset. I filmed the whole build process from scratch over a Saturday morning if you want to try it out: https://t.co/nkYSJizNHK and you can get a free starter pack Skill & templated Claude.md here: https://t.co/tkRHlG7twi

I just built a self-improving knowledge base or second brain with @claudeai using just 3 folders and 1 file. Here’s how to do it…

I've always used Notion (i’m not dropping that - But lately, I've been playing with this and it’s awesome…

The biggest shift is it self improves - I’m no longer the librarian. I just dump information in, and #Claude organises it, links it, and summarises it… The system self-learns and actually gets smarter with every question I ask it…

This week @NotionHQ and @NotionDevs dropped some SERIOUS new updates - my fav - External Agents API - you can work directly with Claude and others in Notion now. Fab watch party in London too. To celebrate I dropped an updated AI-ready version of my Notion Life OS template!

[Notion @NotionHQ]

BIG one for devs today. Introducing the Notion Developer Platform:

- Notion CLI, ntn (Notion in your terminal)
- Workers (run code on Notion's infra)
- Database sync (any data source into Notion)
- Agent tools (build any workflow)
- Webhook triggers (trigger Notion from any app)
- External Agents API (bring any agent into Notion)
- Notion Agents SDK (use Notion Agents anywhere)
- …and a bunch more API improvements

And soon, you won't need to be a developer to build on Notion. Your agent will be one for you.

Honestly? This is the version I wish I'd had a year ago.

Claude has changed how I work in the last few months - but it’s my @NotionHQ Life OS that is still essential to that! SO - I just update Notion Life OS — rebuilt properly for how we actually use AI now. Here's what changed and why. 🧵👇

I slimmed everything else down too. Simplified homepage, consolidated databases, proper meeting notes hub, time tracking per task. Less to maintain, more to actually use.

I’ve just shared a new video on my second channel Systems Made Better breaking down the core ways I’m using each tool, and how I’m managing credits and making the most out of these AI systems!

Have you automated parts of your work yet? Most haven’t - and yet it’s becoming super accessible! If you feel like you're working harder, not smarter, you aren't alone. This week I'm sharing some of the easy and powerful ways I’ve been using with Claude Cowork and Notion AI...

[Better Creating @bettercreating]

@claudeai now they're doubling Claude's 5-hour rate limits on paid plans, meaning you can work for longer without having to stop. Peak hours are also easier to use now - great stuff. BUT - it doesn't look like this means weekly usage...?

[Claude @claudeai]

Effective today, we are:

1) Doubling Claude Code’s 5-hour rate limits for Pro, Max, and Team plans;

2) Removing the peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans; and

3) Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models.

great news - I love the Notion Ai Meeting notes in my workflow - this is a big upgrade :)

[Notion @NotionHQ]

Starting today, Notion AI Meeting Notes can determine who is talking in 1:1s and some video conferences!

[Better Creating @bettercreating]

@ryannystrom very intriguing - love this dash system - feels similar to creating a plugin agent specialist in Claude with more powers?

I’m convinced there’s a secret house system when it comes to 3D printer archetypes 🤪 

Check out my full video for my full 12 month breakdown (and to find out which house you’re in - haha!)

A year ago I got into 3D printing… so here’s the honest update 😅 

(Video is on my YouTube channel if you'd rather watch than read! 🔗 )

[Better Creating @bettercreating]

The 3D Print creating community is next level 🧡 So many incredible makers out there sharing their knowledge, expertise, and designs is fantastic :)

But the main takeaway for me? You don’t have to create your own prints to love 3D printing! 🪄
