This week, we're adding more pages to our Spellbook. Here's what we'll be talking about:

One big idea we’ve learned each week, shaped into words you can carry forward.

Lately I’ve been noticing how often we switch.

You start writing something.
A message comes in.
You reply.
You come back.

Then another question.
Another tab.
Another quick task.

It feels productive.

But something feels off…

We don’t really continue where we left off.

We restart.

You look at the screen.
You reread your work.
You try to remember the thought.

The flow is gone.

It takes time to come back.

A proposal takes longer.
A design feels unfamiliar.
A simple task stretches out.

Some tasks move fast.

Replying messages.
Checking updates.
Sending quick confirmations.

These don’t need full focus.

But some work is different.

Writing.
Solving problems.
Thinking through ideas.
Creative direction.

These need time.

They need space.

There’s a concept from Deep Work by Cal Newport.

“Work that requires thinking needs uninterrupted time.”

Because every time we switch, we leave part of our focus behind.

And it takes time to gather it again.

Stay a little longer.

Finish the thought.
Delay the reply.
Let the work settle.

Schedule time for deep work, and schedule time for comms.
Don’t mix it up.

It may feels slower at first.

But eventually, you’ll reach the flow state.
You’ll get more done in the blocks of time you’ve dedicated yourself into.

Being busy is easy.

Being focused takes effort.

We don’t necessarily need more hours.

We need better attention.
Put the conversations aside for a bit.
Leave that phone further than your reach.
Put on Do Not Disturb for an hour.
Close all tabs that isn’t related to the current work.

And sometimes, that just means staying a little longer on what matters.

Busy =/= productive.

Snapshots from our week — the work, the people, and the little victories worth sharing.

On one of our lunch runs, we heard a very familiar melody in the distance…

The rumours are true — Mr Softy is back! We were way too excited to get our hands on the soft serve that basically defined our childhood.

Now… we’re just hoping they start parking somewhere a little closer to the office.

AICREATIVV’s resident “Unc” made another trip around the sun — another year older, wiser, and still keeping us entertained. A small celebration, but a good reminder to appreciate the people who make the office what it is.

We were invited to BDCB’s open house at the Rizqun International Ballroom, with Hafiz, Imamull, Stephanie and Iman in attendance. The night was filled with good food, familiar faces, and plenty of photos — including time spent catching up with Fadhli, Dina, Mathien and Alim. Safe to say, Dina’s jokes were a highlight of the evening (Dina, we love you).

It’s been a while since we last updated our wall, so we finally took the time to compile and print some of our favourite moments from the past year. A small but meaningful refresh — and big thanks to Hafiz and Hariisah for bringing it all to life on the wall.

As part Raf’s journey in her academia, her team organised an AI forum event called “Artificial Intelligence in Academia & Office:The Responsible Way Forward”. The event is proud to have AICREATIVV as their media partner and surprise— Imamull Qhaeer was invited to be the panellist to talk about the use of AI in creative industries! Raf’s role was the marketing aspect of the event, she applied all of her creative skills ranging from branding, designing, organising and even creating an opening video - with the help of Judin and Dhiyao (thank you media team!), without the support of others, this event wouldn’t have been successful.

A collection of our latest uploads on our website & socials worth checking out.

Things we’re loving lately, because inspiration hides where you least expect them.

Haziyah recently hosted an open house featuring soup dumplings and pan-fried dumplings from Mangcook. Both were packed with a savoury, slightly sweet, garlicky filling, wrapped in that signature “QQ” skin. The soup dumplings came with a light chicken broth, plus their homemade chilli oil on the side — a solid crowd favourite.

If anyone’s still looking to spruce up their home with plants, head to RGC as they’re having a sale starting from 20% off for the month of Syawal!
