Simon from Better Creating

Tech & Productivity Creator, Online Educator

I'm a theatre director and choreographer turned tech & productivity youtuber, based in London, UK. I've worked in the theatre industry since 2007 and continue direct productions each year, but my digital content and e-commerce business under Better Creating now leads as my main focus. In my downtime I'm passionate about cycling, mid-century design, photography, film-making and motorcycles!

I started Better Creating as a YouTube Channel in 2020 during the pandemic to find a creative outlet, to document my journey getting my life organised, and to help other freelancers and creatives manage their careers. It has turned into a full-time content and e-commerce business with a small team of contractors working with me.
- I create weekly tech & productivity videos on Youtube with a focus on simplicity and great design: notably focusing on Notion and Apple and the wider ecosystem around it, as well as featuring strategies and tools that can help people better leverage their energy for the outcomes they want.
- As an established Notion template creator now for a few years, my templates focus on personal productivity, knowledge management and building healthy habits and we are earning over £200,000 a year in Notion related revenue.
