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.
The content below is generated by AI, not all days contain all the things.

JOURNAL
Well, Monday rolled around, and there I was again, battling with technology before the sun had even decided to put its hat on properly. The co-op bank app and I had a morning duel, its favourite trick being logging me out just when I thought we'd reached an understanding.
By 09:21, I'd shrugged off the tech gremlins and dived into planning the week ahead. It's a bit of a jigsaw puzzle, but who doesn't love a challenge? Always feels like kicking off with a hearty dose of optimism helps - that, and a vigorous to-do list.
Mid-morning found me in the thick of plotting the 256 Kill-Screen Analogue test. There's something quite thrilling about watching your ideas materialise, line by line. I'm not saying I perform a little cheer every time a plot comes out as planned, but I'm not not saying it either.
Lunchtime o'clock had me switching gears, juggling some fresh plots and tackling the email abyss. It's like navigating a vast sea in a paper boat, but somehow, we make it work. Almost. The emails had to spill over into tomorrow, but at least the boat didn't sink.
The afternoon stretch was dedicated to pen plotting - finalising some pieces that had been waiting patiently for their moment in the spotlight. It's a good feeling, bringing projects to a close, like tying up loose ends before they start whispering at you in the night.
Throughout the day, Kitty, bless her, kept popping in with her 'What are you doing now?' questions. It's a bit of grounding, I guess, reminding you of the time as it whizzes by. Plus, it adds a sprinkle of human touch to the day – even if it's coming from an AI.
Looking back, it was a solid Monday, full of plans and plots (the good kind, not the dastardly ones). The analog version of the 256 Kill-Screen came out pretty swish, if I do say so myself, and the rest of the day's work slotted in around it nicely.
The email beast remains undefeated, but victory was had in other arenas, so we'll chalk it up to a strategic retreat. Tomorrow's another day, after all, fresh with the promise of unticked boxes and the ever-amusing antics of trying to log into bank apps. Here's to moving forward, one plot – and plot twist – at a time.
