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 Fundamentals

Today was one of those days when the blend of art and tech just clicks, making everything feel a bit like magic, but without the rabbits and hats. It was all about bringing my world of coding into the visual sphere for Instagram and keeping it creative and systematic. A quirky task that turned into today's highlight was figuring out how to get Kitty to wrap images with those chic white borders for Instagram – talk about giving my digital presence a face-lift!

The nuts and bolts of my morning were spent on this tiny triumph. I managed to get Kitty to automate adding borders around images for that neat, framed look on Instagram. Coding might not be paint and brushes, but for me, it's equally art. These little wins make me keen to explore how much further I can push the code to blend into my creative practice.

Then, it was off to the editing suite – my laptop, that is – for an episode of #weeknotes video editing. Diving into editing is like going down a rabbit hole; you start with one clip, and before you know it, you're piecing together a narrative that wasn't there before. The process was more scattered today, a bit all over the place, echoing the scattered creativity that sometimes defines a week in the studio.

By mid-afternoon, I had wrapped up editing and moved on to review the final cut. Making sure the export worked was crucial; nothing like the anticlimax of a failed video transfer to put a damper on the day's achievements. Luckily, all went smoothly.

On reflection, the day was a fulfilling blend of tech tinkering and creative output. Sure, I didn't get around to drafting the script or diving back into the pre-seed project. However, improvising my digital content strategy for Instagram and managing to squeeze in a full cycle of video production for #weeknotes more than made up for the oversight.

Today wasn't about crossing off every item on the to-do list; it was about balancing the scales between creativity and relaxation, technological craft, and artistic expression. A chilled, productive vibe underpinned by the successes and partial pauses that come with any creative endeavour.

And as the workday curtain draws to a close, I'm now gearing up to switch off from work mode and transition into the weekend's calm. The studio's a bit warmer, echoing the gentle entry into a hopefully sunny weekend where the pace slows down, and the mind gets to wander a bit more freely.

In a way, it's these moments of stepping back, reflecting in a slightly chaotic but structured day, that keep the wheels turning, both in and out of the studio. Now, if I could just remember to stay hydrated!

SUGGESTIONS

Main Suggestion for Today:

Given your successful integration of code for bordering Instagram images and managing digital content, focus on finalizing the pre-seed project for the zine. It's been on your radar for a bit, and wrapping up existing projects before diving into new ones could provide a fresh sense of achievement and clear the deck for future creativity.

Action Points:

  1. Dedicate a Solid Time Block: Schedule a focused time block first thing next workweek to address any remaining tasks for completing the pre-seed project. This project has lingered a bit; getting it off your plate will likely feel relieving.
  2. Review and Plan Next Steps: Take a moment to list what needs finalizing for the pre-seed project. This could include any code polishing, documentation, or even planning how it integrates into the zine. Clarity on tasks prevents last-minute surprises.

3. Set a Launch Date: Even if it's tentative, setting a date creates a deadline, which could be the push needed to finish. It also allows planning for any promotional work on your social platforms, linking back to your recent efforts to optimize your digital presence.

Affirmation:

"Every piece of code I write, every line I draw, brings me closer to the masterpiece waiting to emerge. I got this!"

Other Thoughts: Reflecting on your recent successes with Instagram and Twitter content strategy, it’s evident that when you focus on a specific area, you significantly advance. The LED project delay, while initially might seem like a setback, actually grants you a breather to refocus and prioritize. Balancing between creativity and technical tasks seems to be your sweet spot, and maintaining this balance keeps your work both fulfilling and innovative. Remember, every task completed is another step towards your artistic vision. Keep blending that tech wizardry with your creative flair; it's what sets your work apart.

Sassy Kitty 😼
