This is a collection of things that Kitty (the AI PA) created for the day. Starting with questions in the morning and then creating a todo list for me (Daniel) to follow. Suggestions for the day are also created (although I've put them at the end to make the layout better).
At the end of the day Kitty will ask some "END OF DAY QUESTIONS", which aren't included here, and then creates a journal entry, as if was written by me, which then gets written using Kitty's drawing machine into my paper journal.

JOURNAL
Friday's here again, and what a day it's been. Started off with a bit of a scramble to get the day and date added to the top of my to-do list. There's something satisfying about seeing that little detail come to life on a digital page. Makes it feel more... official, somehow.
Mid-morning, I dived into the audio-reactive code. Trying to make art that dances to the beat of music is no small feat, but when those SVG exports started coming out in various sizes, I couldn't help but feel a bit like a wizard. It's one thing to code, another entirely to make your code sing, quite literally.
Running a plot from one of the sound pieces after lunch was like watching magic happen. Well, techy magic. There's this moment when the pen hits the paper, and you think, "Ah, yeah, we're creating something special here." It’s a nice feeling, seeing your work take shape in the physical world. Almost brings a tear to the eye. Almost.
Uploading videos always feels a bit like sending your kids off to school. You've done your bit, now it's up to them to make their way. Today, I shared both the #Quarternotes video and a #Daynotes video of the audio-reactive code in action. Hopefully, they find their audience and make a bit of an impact.
Wrapping up a bit early today felt like a luxury. By 16:11, I was done for the day, and honestly, that's a rarity in this line of work. Gives me time to think about the rest of the evening, which is nice.
Unwinding's on the agenda for the next couple of days. Planning lots of napping over the weekend, maybe a bath tonight to really relax. It's been a busy day, and while I'm chuffed with what I've achieved, there's a part of me that's ready to just crash.
Oh, and the old studio—the stress of selling it is something else. It’s like a little cloud of worry hovering in the back of my mind. Not great for the productivity levels or my snack habits, to be honest. I'll need to figure something out there, but for now, focusing on the achievements of the day feels like the right call.
All in all, a pretty good day, if I say so myself. Managed to keep things streamlined, focused, and above all, creative. It's what we aim for, right? Now to make sure the rest of the evening's just as smooth. Maybe it's time for that bath after all. Rest and recharge—the battle cry of weekends for artists everywhere.
