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
Right, today was supposed to be all about doing absolutely nothing and, I have to say, mission accomplished.
I kicked off the day by plotting out the past few days of journal pages. It's a bit tedious, but there's something nicely methodical about it. I thought about hopping over to the repair café at the church with a couple of items that needed fixing. But in the end, nope. Just couldn't face it. Instead, I decided to stay home and teach myself a card game. It was a solo dungeon dive thing I've had in the cupboard for a while. Pretty fun, actually. Sitting at the kitchen table really worked. It's kind of the hub of the house, so people were coming and going, which was nice.
I had to wear my glasses, and by mid-afternoon, I felt a headache sneaking in. So I took a break. I’ve realised I get a headache when using my glasses in spots other than the studio, probably 'cause the setup there is just right.
Ended up doing a bit of shopping this morning. Nothing fancy, just the supermarket, but it was actually quite nice. I like having those little supplies-ing trips to tick off.
Okay, so apps. Stumbled across some iPhone apps that are all about micro-learning. They’ve shifted from being just bite-sized knowledge nuggets to being anti-doomscrolling. Interesting marketing pivot. Gave a couple a whirl, but they fell a bit flat. It's like eating information snacks without actually digesting anything. Made me realise that if I want to learn something, I need to sit down with a notepad and really absorb it.
In the evening, I thought again about how I consume information. Fiction books in the evening, podcasts or music while walking, biographies as audiobooks are also a good fit. Non-fiction needs dedicated 'learn time', not just random snippets during tasks.
All in all, not a bad day considering I aimed to do nothing. Low energy but at least I managed a bit of productivity—taught myself a card game and figured out a bit more about how I learn best. Crossed a few things off my little to-do list. So yeah, I guess that’s a win.
