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
Our Saturday was filled with creativity and a splash of the unexpected. Nixie and I finally pulled out the candle-making kit that's been gathering dust. Most of the morning disappeared like a dream as we scoured through cupboards to find everything.
The candle-making process itself was quite fun. We spent a fair bit of time working out the right amount of scent to add and experimenting with colours. The end result was a rather pleasing candle, which is still setting as I write this. There’s something enjoyable about trying something completely different from what I usually do in the studio.
After wrapping up with the candle-making, I took some time to relax and let the day unfold naturally. I find this approach crucial for balancing out the structured demands of my work week. I had left the day fairly open, aside from the essential trip to get groceries. It was a spontaneous kind of Saturday, which I rarely allow myself.
I spent a bit of time in the old studio later in the day. While it didn't spark any new ideas, it gave me a moment to reflect on my history there. The environment felt nostalgic, yet I am keen to move forward. Being at the old studio made me more appreciative of the growth and transition to my current workspace.
By leaving some unplanned time in my schedule, I feel more relaxed and ready for the busy week ahead. It’s important to unwind and let the mind wander sometimes, something I think I managed well today.
As the day wound down, We cooked dinner while the candle set. It may not be perfect, but it brought a lot of joy and a sense of accomplishment.
Days like today remind me that not every moment needs to be driven by productivity. Sometimes, it’s the aimless, fun activities that recharge our creative energy the most. I’m ending the day feeling content, rejuvenated, and more prepared for the busy week ahead.
