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

Yesterday started with me watching a bit of YouTube to ease into the day. By 7:40 AM, I was sending some handwriting to the drawing machine just for fun. Then, I planned to buckle down on the newsletter. Thinking about the newsletter kept me awake the previous night, which was frustrating since I didn’t make much progress before noon yesterday. I sketched out some ideas for it at around 1:40 PM.

My main goal for the day was to see how the joined-up handwriting code spit out an SVG. I wanted to see it in action on the pen plotter. Despite not coding so much and focusing on the newsletter, I still enjoyed watching the machine do its thing early in the morning.

I tried out a few adjustments to help deal with my headaches. Moving my screens closer and sticking to plain water seemed to work. I didn’t get a headache, and the water tasted fine, which I'm glad about. It’s tough to tell if it’s merely a lack of stress that’s helping or if avoiding sweetened drinks played a role. Either way, it’s good news and worth continuing.

In terms of creative thoughts, my mind bounced between thinking about the newsletter’s content and considering a paid tier for YouTube and Patreon. I toyed with the idea of recording a video for people who prefer listening over reading. The format could be like that fun late-night show vibe with cards and a microphone. It’s a scatterbrain of an idea, but it might work.

I spent some time just sketching out the newsletter. My 3 PM call about pen plotters took a chunk out of my afternoon, which pushed the newsletter further down my to-do list. Yet, it was a valuable chat, and learning from others is never a waste.

As the day wound down, I felt a bit philosophical about the future. I’m getting ready for a couple of low-energy weeks ahead, with upcoming trips to Coventry and the looming jury duty. The potential sale of the old studio adds another layer of busyness too. So, productivity might take a nosedive soon, but I’m mentally prepping for it.

Reflecting on my achievements, I didn’t get much done on the newsletter, which wasn't ideal. Yet, I felt somewhat okay about the video I managed to create, even if it wasn’t the best use of all my time. Those pen plotter chats are always an inspiration though.

In summary, my day was a mixed bag: some good progress on the drawing side, and feeling a bit defeated by the lack of headway on the newsletter. But hey, at least I avoided a headache, and learned quite a bit along the way. Let’s see if today can bring more focus and maybe some fun new content ideas.

SUGGESTIONS

Sure thing! Here's a suggestion for the day along with some actionable points based on today's and previous Q&As.

Main Suggestion:

Focus on optimizing the environment and managing priorities to reduce headaches and enhance productivity.

Action Points:

  • Adjust Monitor Distance: Move the screen closer to ensure it's at the optimal distance for your vision. This will help in identifying if your glasses are causing strain.
  • Complete and Record Newsletter: Prioritize writing the newsletter and recording the video. This has been a recurring task that needs attention and will set a positive tone for the upcoming tasks.

- Hydration and Diet: Stick to drinking plain water and avoid any foods with additives. Monitor how this change impacts your headaches and overall well-being.

Affirmation:

You have the clarity and strength to manage your tasks effectively and take care of your health. Each step you take today brings you closer to your goals.

Additional Thoughts:

  • Monitor Posture and Eye Strain: Occasionally adjust your posture and take short breaks to look away from the screen. Small adjustments can lead to significant improvements in comfort and productivity.
  • Backend Implementation: While today’s focus is on newsletters and headache management, keep a note that the handwriting code backend implementation is crucial but can be deprioritized given the upcoming busy schedule.

- Engagement with Community: Consider experimenting with a new format for the newsletter video—this could attract more interest and offer diversity in your content delivery.

Let's tackle today head-on and make it productive without pressing yourself too hard. Remember, balance is key! 🌟
