Hello, curious mind!

This is a magazine for creatives, founders and freelancers, and it’s focused on mental health. 

It’s based on long form conversations diving deep into what usually gets left out in interviews. The bad days. The impostor syndrome. All sorts of fears and an overwhelming anxiety that follow every brave choice a person ever makes. 

From essays about the millenial generation working to a point they find themselves too busy to have sex, to vulnerable first person letters talking about changing professions, making bold decisions and looking after one’s mind before looking for funding. 

Emotional eating is being addressed alongside helpful tips on how not to eat one's emotions. Also, the reader will find some quirky recipes for emotional snacking, if an emergency deadline happens. 

Lastly, the magazine questions what happens to one's career after getting pregnant and welcoming a new life to this planet (and your ‘to do’ list). 

It’s funny, sad at times, vulnerable to the backbone, and it aims to start a much needed conversation about mental health at work. 

We get scared when we have to deal with stuff we have no clue how to tackle. It sucks. It’s hard.

But it makes us grow. And that’s what counts.

This print is a reminder of how important it is to make brave choices, and not allow fear to take over.

This is a special edition print. We wanted to create small reminders to keep close at your desk and help you go through daily ups and downs with more ease.

It truly is the best mantra. Yet, it's also the easiest to forget.

There's a phrase in Lithuanian - what can be accomplished today, should never be left for tomorrow.

It’s also a very good life hack for getting stuff done :)

Especially perfect for hanging up in front of your desk or in a studio space.

Bundles are available for a limited time only!

Our last box of the first issue is almost empty, so it’s truly your last chance to get hold of it!

This is a magazine about work. Fuelled by raw and honest conversations about creative life and unconventional work, this is a magazine about the doers of our generation. This first issue is also a documentation of the 21st century Lithuania at work: young, creative and with a positive outlook.

It’s a special hand-picked tea blend with all-natural meadow herbs to help you keep your anxiety in check. We’ve been working on this baby for the last half a year, secretly testing lots of blends until we found this one. 

It’s a special mix that helps: 

• Control anxiety and our reaction to stressful situations

• Relax before going to bed and ease sleeping

• It’s perfect for people who drink too much coffee - it tones down the caffeine jitters!

• Making a cup of specially blended tea is a wonderful ritual, naturally slowing your daily life down.

We also love having it at the beginning of the day, when sitting down at our desks, opening first emails. Having a clear and calm mind helps tackle all tasks in a more quality way and enjoy the process rather than get carried away, stressed, and anxious. 

We hope you’ll love it too!

Our mantra over here at What do people do? is WHERE THE MIND IS, THE ENERGY FLOWS. It’s exactly what we kept repeating to each other while working on the magazine. So we made a print out of it!

For creatives, freelancers or founders not being able to focus on goals leads to burnouts, lack of motivation and constantly feeling not good enough.

The print is a friendly reminder you can achieve whatever you put your heart, mind and energy in, you only need to focus more. Hang it up in your bedroom or on a studio wall, and keep doing what you love!

Please do share a picture of looking slick at your creative space once you receive it.

The print project by Ruta Krau, with the slogan "I am a human being, not a human doing," challenges the belief that our value is solely defined by what we do. It encourages individuals to embrace their inherent worth and celebrate the beauty of simply being alive. By emphasizing self-reflection and mindfulness, the project inspires authenticity and a shift away from societal pressures.

The print urges viewers to pause and question the societal pressure to constantly achieve and perform. It promotes self-acceptance and self-love, emphasizing that our worth extends beyond our accomplishments. By embracing mindfulness and living authentically, we can find peace, cultivate appreciation for the present moment, and nurture our mental and emotional well-being.

Ruta Krau's print sparks conversations about societal norms, mental health, and the importance of self-care. It encourages individuals to reevaluate priorities, redefine success, and break free from excessive busyness. Displayed in public spaces, the project invites dialogue and raises awareness about the detrimental effects of valuing doing over being, inspiring a more balanced approach to well-being.
