Creative Bulletin n.61 (Feb 10th 2021)

This is how we started our week: with an approval message from Kickstarter for Fabula for Kids’ campaign ❤️ Next week it’s game time!

We have everything ready: presentation, pictures and… the video!

👉 You can watch it here before anyone else! It’s pretty cool 😍

🐐🐐🐐 What we’ve been up to this week

Andrea finished putting the last touch ups on di Fabula for Kids’ booklet; we can now move onto the editing phase 💪

After attending the proofreading classes, Andrea felt comfortable enough to start jotting down Sefirot’s editorial rules. As soon as we’ll be ready we’ll share them on the Bulletin: if you’ve never seen a list of editorial rules, it’s going to be a treat!

Matteo continued working on the Kickstarter campaign’s communication (he’s working with to-do lists that seem to be endless 😭). Let’s just say he can’t wait to push the «Launch» button 🚀

🦊🦊🦊 What we would like to do

Brainstorming to find a name for the new editing tool: we’ve defined the dynamic of usage (and it works!) but we’re still far when it comes to the title…

We want to develop an app for Fabula and Cicero for computers. Would it make sense? What do you say?

We want to discover new music. We keep on listening to the same ol’ Spotify playlists ’cause we’re lazy 😂

🎃🎃🎃 What we’ve learned

One of our leitmotiv lately is sport, movement: we call each other and after having talked about work, here comes the big question: «Are you exercising?».

Lockdown is not doing us any good: we’re more sedentary, we can’t go to the gym, we cook (and eat) more 😂 bottomline we feel heavy and tired.

This is the moment when new trends make their way into our minds: keto diet, the blood type diet, carbs turn into the Devil, crossfit on an app, mindfulness practice that could potentially save us, yoga at 5am.

🌈 Takeaway: let’s do what we really need.
We downloaded the crossfit apps and then stopped using them; we tried meditation but we couldn’t keep still. There hasn’t been a better moment than now for finding what is right for us (which will probably not be the same as other people’s 😊). It could be as easy as a light jog, a walk on the river bank or even reading a book in a café, now that they are open.

Matteo yesterday went to the market to buy a healthy lunch but then he went to the butcher shop and got himself two sausages ’cause he needed some happiness 😅

And you? What do you need today?

🏓 Takeaway#2: learn to listen.
We thought that after 61 weeks of reading our takeaway, the time has come for us to listen to you (just like on the radio 😍). If you feel like sharing something you’ve learned in these past weeks, send an email at matteo [at] sefirot.it subject “Takeaway” . We’ll publish a few on the Bulletin!

With ❤️
Matteo and Andrea
