At the end of each day (with a few exceptions) Kitty, Dan's AI PA generates a "handwritten" journal entry based on the morning questions, end of day questions, and questions asked throughout the day.

JOURNALS
Today was pretty chill, but let's break it down anyway.
The morning started with me considering how I could replicate the focus I had while working on my artist statement to today’s tasks. I ended up diving into a bit of coding, aiming to harness that same concentration. Every time I thought I'd hit a wall, I reminded myself of how I got through the artist statement. Bit by bit, I managed to make progress.
I also spent part of the day thinking about my artist direction. It’s funny how refining everything can lead to new ideas popping up. I jotted down a few concepts for future projects, especially ones that align better with where I see my art going. It felt good to have a clearer path, even if just for today.
Taking breaks is usually one of those things I plan for but rarely stick to, given how things tend to go. Today, I made sure to step away properly. Went for a short walk and also did a bit of light reading away from the screen. It helped me maintain a balanced mood, especially with how intense the morning was.
Cooking helped too, giving me a refreshing break from thinking about art and code. Did some cooking and washing up, which I find oddly relaxing. No sketching today, but the thought crossed my mind, especially with all the ideas brewing.
Lastly, I tried to dive into that arts-based research book but got sidetracked with all the coding. I’ve got a couple of them lined up, and I’m really eager to find ways to weave my arts process into more structured research.
Reflecting on the focus and the breaks, today's combination worked well. I didn’t get around to everything I'd planned, but the balance felt right. More importantly, taking things one step at a time made the day productive without feeling overwhelmed.
So, ended the evening with a bit of journaling about the day. Kitty’s prompts have really helped shape how I reflect on my tasks and thoughts. Not a single penny spent on pens today, but I've got a good stash coming in the post soon. Enjoying this bit of stability amidst all the moving parts. Until tomorrow.
