You have plenty of information. What is missing is a way to put it to work on your own project.

About the author
Why I wrote this
I always have ideas, but I also used to lose track of them. Music production brought that into focus: there is plenty of advice, but how do you choose what to practise yourself?
AI and Notion help me organise my thoughts and record my next step. In this book, I share that way of working. The book and this website grew out of the same process.

Does AI need to connect to Notion?
