Last week I discovered it’s possible to love a product so much that the company invites you to give a talk about how you use it.

I Tweeted about my “digital brain system” in Notion (what I talked about) and people were really into it. Shared pictures of my Topics Forest — where I store the best ideas I’ve found for many topics in “Trees of Knowledge”, across various sources (articles, books, conversations, videos).

And a couple other things like my “Begin and End of Day 3-minute journal”:

People seem to resonate with these — and I have lots of templates/digital spaces like these, so I’m thinking of making some videos going over how I use them, tips, and explaining the thinking behind them. Let me know if there’s something specific from the Tweet you’d love for me to focus on.

One of my all-time favorite short stories:

The Descent of Species by David Eagleman. It’s about someone who chooses to be a horse in their next life.

If you’re into short stories like that one, check out his book Sum: 40 Tales from the afterlives — it’s one of the stories there.

Some cool, random stuff I learned this week:

(from Awaken the Giant Within book):

Every moment, we’re taking 3 decisions:

(from Curious: the desire to know and why your future depends on it book):

Mystery is the most consistent predictor of preference in landscape pictures.

The reason I added “short story of a moment today” in my night journal. Amazing TED Talk, highly recommend:

Ascent - Day 1 by Ludovico Einaudi, released 9 days ago. Ludovico is one of my favorite pianists, and he doesn’t release often, so this was a treat. In my Pianolax playlist.
