Inspirations
Read
"The Diary of a CEO" by Steven Bartlett
This month's book recommendation comes from Dawid, our Co-Founder. Lately, he really enjoyed reading "The Diary of a CEO" by Steven Bartlett. Dawid constantly seeks inspiration and practical advice in the entrepreneurial world, and this book has been a game-changer for him. Bartlett's journey from a dropout to a successful CEO is super inspiring, and he doesn't hold back in sharing the raw, unfiltered truth about his experiences.
What Dawid loves about this book is how relatable and honest Bartlett is. He takes you behind the scenes of his ventures, sharing the highs and lows, the struggles and triumphs. It's packed with real-life lessons on business, mindset, and personal growth that anyone can benefit from.
If you're looking for practical insights and a dose of motivation, "The Diary of a CEO" is a must-read. It feels like having a mentor by your side, guiding you through the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.
Watch
WWF - Love it or lose it by BluBlu Studios
Discover the enchanting "Love it or Lose it" campaign by BluBlu Studios for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). This heartfelt animation addresses the urgent loss of nature, focusing on the rapid disappearance of forests, wildlife, and freshwater. Over its brief runtime, the animation brings to life a poignant poem using fluid, organic shapes, and vibrant colors to showcase the beauty and diversity of our planet.
Transitioning through various biomes—deserts, forests, and oceans—the animation captures the richness of nature. Seamless transitions achieved with After Effects and cel animation create an organic and dynamic feel. The accompanying music underscores the earth's majesty and fragility, reinforcing the message that it's not too late to make a difference.
Highly recommended for its stunning visuals and powerful message.

Quick Start: Keep a journal by your bedside and jot down three things you're grateful for each morning. This can include anything from the warmth of your bed to recent success.
Stay Present: As you write, take a moment to truly feel the gratitude. Let the positive emotions fill your mind and body.
Take a Minute: Conclude by reflecting on how these grateful thoughts can influence your day.

Mediterranean Moments: Boosting Creativity with a Splash
For Alicja, our Co-founder, nothing beats the rejuvenation she finds in water, especially snorkeling. She describes it as her favorite form of meditation and breathwork, revitalizing her creativity and energy. Recently, she took a brief weekend getaway to the stunning Mediterranean beaches, which provided her with fresh inspiration. Despite being just a few days, it significantly boosted her productivity at work.
Sometimes, a change of scenery, whether it's a visit to a nearby lake or an art exhibition, can feel like a mini-vacation and reignite your motivation. Have you planned your summer escape yet? Remember, taking time to rest can enhance your productivity more than these extra 20 hours of work each week.
And that concludes this edition of our newsletter from the Plumcat team!
We hope your month is brimming with new inspirations and significant progress.
