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.

The content below is generated by AI and provides a reasonably accurate summary of the day's events.


JOURNALS

The very hacky way I add the handwritten text over the newsletter thumbnails

Today felt like a whirlwind of activity, but I managed to keep things relatively productive. The morning started with doing my usual setup and prioritising the day's tasks. I wanted to focus on wrapping up the video editing for the week notes, as it’s always easier to get that sorted early on. So, I dived into the editing suite and chipped away at the Monday to Thursday segments. I was pretty efficient with it, which is always a nice feeling.

By midday, I switched gears to outline the newsletter for next week. There’s a lot going on, and I want to make sure everything is clear, concise, and, most importantly, engaging. It took me a while to get into the zone, but once I did, it was all systems go. Sketching out the first draft of the next newsletter felt good, especially since it’s filled with updates and plans I’m actually excited about.

In the afternoon, I revisited the pen plotter. I’ve been keen to get a pencil plot finished, mainly because it serves a dual purpose. Not only does it look good in the final piece, but it also lets me capture some great footage for the #weeknotes video. Creating art and documenting the process felt rewarding and added a creative spark to my day. There’s something naturally fulfilling about seeing a project through from start to finish.

Reflecting on the day, I balanced the creation of the week notes video and outlining the newsletter quite well. Both tasks required different mindsets, yet I managed to give each the attention it deserved. The repetitive nature of the Kitty's Q&A sessions was fine, but I'm yearning for fresher, more insightful questions. That said, the day's activities did spark some new ideas for upcoming projects, which is always a bonus.

I still have lingering stress about the studio sale. It's in a bit of a precarious position, and the uncertainty isn't doing wonders for my peace of mind. Tomorrow is another crucial day in that regard, and I hope things align better. All in all, today felt productive and creatively satisfying, despite the underlying anxieties.

Let’s see what tomorrow brings. Fingers crossed for good news on multiple fronts.
