This might seem random. It is AND it does have to do with Google Sheets.

What do you think is the best thing to listen to while you’re working in Google Sheets?

Some Options

Your Office

Great, because you’re in your office already. But are you? Maybe a home office now. But not many are working from the office yet.

Binaural Music

electronically produced music with the intention to keep you focused. I used brain.fm for a long time and loved it, for a while.

A Song on Repeat

Somewhat hard to do without a playlist. But yes you can set one song on loop and leave it. I’ve done this on occasion when I picked a single motivational type song that ultimately becomes background noise because I hear it all the time.

Movie Soundtracks

Great non verbal sounds with a story. Great for work sessions since many are over one hour. Set your favorite movie soundtrack on and don’t think about adding any more to a playlist for an hour or more or until your next break.

Non Vocal Music

My favorite newsletter sends 2 hours of music each day. Here it is: FlowState.substack.com

Cafe Background Sounds

Wanna work in a cafe but, you know… Covid?

And you wanna travel to a coffee shop in Tokyo? but you know… Covid?

Yes, you can by “listening”

I’ve started a new newsletter that delivers 1 hour of cafe sounds to your inbox every weekday.

Introducing: Coffeehouse

Join Coffeehouse

But Wait, this is a newsletter about Google Sheets

Yes it is. This is Better Sheets

You are right. So how does this have to do with Google Sheets?

Coffeehouse is powered by a google sheet.

I used the Better Letters google sheet template that creates a bookmarklet to capture websites and a sheet to catalog all the links.

Watch The Curation

So now, I can batch save a bunch of youtube videos, or spotify tracks, or podcasts that capture the sounds of cafes. And can keep track of which edition I sent them in.

What is Better Letters?

I recently rebranded “Newsletter Creator” into BetterLetters.xyz

This is a google sheet template that becomes your newsletter’s command center.

• Curate with ease with the Bookmarklet

• Create editions with a couple clicks

• Capture sponsors with a public sponsorship page

• Grow your newsletter with lead magnets I’ve already tested and used.

I’m also sharing everything I know about newsletters with customers.

• Custom Review of your newsletter

• Video lectures on everything regarding newsletters: launching, growing, and monetizing.
