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

Today started with a clear plan in my head: finish recording the weeknotes video. It always feels good to knock something off the to-do list first thing in the morning. So, I set up my space, making sure everything was ready to go. I felt a strange sense of relief knowing I could get through this relatively quickly if I just focused.

Once I wrapped up the recording, I immediately dived into my next task: editing the newsletter video. Editing takes time and mental energy, but getting into the groove helps. I noticed how each cut I made significantly improved the flow of the video, which is always rewarding. It felt productive, and the hours passed quickly. Before I knew it, it was lunchtime.

After lunch, it was back to editing. This time, I set specific time blocks to ensure I took short breaks in between. My workflow was better today, and I was able to complete the tasks without feeling overly fatigued. I also had to edit my newsletter video and add the final touches to make sure it was ready for publication. I wanted to get this out by the end of the day to stay on schedule.

Switching gears in the afternoon, I started tackling some video editing for the newsletter. Editing all the footage into a coherent narrative is usually time-consuming, but worth it.

Later in the day, I decided to make some personal phone calls to stay connected with friends and family. Sometimes, that’s the best way to recharge before jumping into the next task. I also spent some time reflecting on today's progress while planning for tomorrow. Ideally, I want to continue this productive streak through the rest of the week.

Towards the end of the day, I took a stroll to clear my head and stretch a bit. Exercise always makes a difference in how productive I feel. It was slightly windy but refreshing nonetheless, a fitting end to the day's work.

Overall, today felt productive. I managed to stay on top of my tasks without feeling overwhelmed, a rare but welcome achievement. Tomorrow, I'll continue working on more video content and refining my editing skills. Fingers crossed, the studio sale will move a step closer to completion.

Also, made a mental note to remind myself that sometimes stepping away for a short break can be the most productive thing to do. Time now to prepare for another productive tomorrow.
