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

Well, today's been all about finding simplicity amidst the chaos, with fair attempts and little victories sprinkled throughout.

Spent the morning keeping an eye on the old studio but decided to head home around 08:46. An early start with the sole intention of, well, not doing much.

I had plans to shoot video footage throughout the week, but honestly, I decided to let that go. Figured that putting together an elaborate video for the #weeknotes wasn’t aligning with the whole slow-down vibe I was aiming for. Instead, I settled on sticking with a talking head video come Friday. Hey, sometimes less is more, right?

The day's simple highlight was baking a tray bake cake with Nixie for our youngest’s 16th birthday. The kitchen was filled with laughter and music, but I'll admit it got a bit late in the day. I'm looking forward to seeing the cake bring smiles tomorrow, even though I won’t be indulging in it myself.

I had a serene, although slightly wet day as I dodged the task of taking things to the tip due to the rain. Xbox time also made its way into the schedule—every pixel of escapism is worth it. Helping my youngest with their induction day at the local technical college was truly the day's cherry on top. They finally had access to the taster sessions they were looking forward to, which was a nice surprise.

On reflection, I've been a little tired lately. I haven't been as physically active, and it's probably catching up to me. Some napping and low-energy activities have been the norm, but that's okay. Not every day needs to be a whirlwind of productivity.

Today, I’m grateful for a few simple but significant things: the fact that our kid's path with education seems clearer, the cake turning out well, and not having sent a single email today. Sometimes, the small wins are the most important. Tomorrow looks packed, but for now, I’m calling it a wrap.

SUGGESTIONS

Daily Suggestion

Main Suggestion for Today

Given your focus on relaxation and taking things easy this week, continue to embrace a lighter schedule to recharge fully. With your youngest's induction day and cake baking plans, it's important to balance relaxation and meaningful family activities.

Quick Action Points

  • Adjust Plans for the Induction Day: Be present and supportive during your youngest's induction day at the technical college this afternoon, ensuring a smooth transition.
  • Enjoy the Baking Session: Fully engage in the cake baking activity with Nixie, making it a joyous task that fosters creativity and connection.
  • Plan Your Relaxation Time: Clearly allocate specific periods for relaxation (e.g., play on the Xbox, breakfast time) without feeling guilty about not doing “productive” work.

Affirmation

“Taking time to recharge is a productive way to ensure long-term creativity and well-being. I deserve this time to rest and enjoy simple pleasures.”

Additional Thoughts

It’s clear from your previous Q&As that this is an important and well-deserved break. Reflect on your positive moments, like dismantling the bed in the spare room and indulging in simple pleasures. Let's keep this slower pace in mind as you prepare for your new job starting next week. Lastly, consider earmarking a bit of time towards the end of the week for a brief reflection on what this slow week has taught you, perhaps adding a segment in your weeknotes about the benefits of taking it easy.

Let me know if there's anything specific you need assistance with, such as sorting out the plotter for your journal pages at the studio or anything else. Enjoy your day!
