I work managing creative teams for the online communication of brands and institutions across Italy and Spain, but mostly on the Internet. For over seven years, I have been writing nonostantement – a weekly Sunday newsletter, collecting the most interesting things I find online. — Joele Lucherini

PHYSICAL

• Japanese Barbecue Tongs – I am completely influenced by Japanese chefs on TikTok, and when I saw these tongs, I had to buy them. I find them much better than regular ones, especially for handling small pieces of food while cooking.
• Manduka Yoga Mat – Over the past year, I started practicing yoga twice a week. I’m lucky to be able to do it at home with online classes, which helped turn it into a habit—even though I’ve never really enjoyed sports.
• Cat Meme Stickers Pack – A pack of about a hundred cat meme stickers. It’s a small, inexpensive thing, but it can completely change my day — surprising someone with a weird cat sticker is a simple gesture that always makes people smile.

DIGITAL

• Parcel app – Working from home and spending a lot of time in front of my computer, I buy things online quite a lot. This app is reliable and it’s almost always open on my laptop for tracking all my deliveries.
• Make.com – I’ve never really had the calm mind (lol) to become a proper coder, but I’ve always enjoyed tinkering with how things work behind the scenes. Make.com—a no-code platform that connects different apps and services—has genuinely changed my life, dramatically improving my work by letting me automate almost anything I can think of.

INVISIBLE

“Not my business, not my problem.”

Every year, I choose a sentence to guide me in my work. This year it was this “mantra” I often had to repeat to avoid getting too involved in my clients’ company issues, especially when dealing with things I don’t control or am not responsible for.
