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

Taking stock of today, Wednesday, I had my morning plan set out clearly after taking some time to think about my goals. Given the recent struggles with my email backlog, I dedicated the first part of the day to addressing that and managed to clear a significant chunk. The satisfaction that comes from getting those replies out certainly set a positive tone for the remainder of the morning.

Post-email session, I turned my attention to debugging the Kaleidoscope project. The initial plan was to sort out the long lines, but it quickly became apparent that wasn't the core issue. Nonetheless, this debugging session led me down a path to track and resolve the actual bug, so overall, it felt productive.

In tandem, I tackled the Studio obstacle: reshuffling the shelves to make space for new stationery and plotter supplies. The reorganisation took a bit longer than expected, but seeing the studio in a more functional state was satisfying. The tidy workspace is bound to pay off in future productivity.

Come the afternoon, it was time to dive back into the pending Art Blocks email. Ensuring the response was thorough and timely felt like a mini-accomplishment. This was immediately followed by the thrill of putting the pen plotter to use, running some successful test prints. However, the fun part will be experimenting with the new silver ink and black paper—a visually stunning combo.

Day-to-day operations and creative bursts are tricky to balance, but today struck a commendable harmony. The key highlight was accomplishing the Kaleidoscope fix, a persistent challenge finally conquered. It's always rewarding when problem-solving leads to unveiling a more efficient process.

Closing out the day, a sense of progress and readiness for tomorrow's tasks settled in. Despite the up-and-down rhythm of balancing emails, debugging, and organising, closing in on the day's goals felt fulfilling. More importantly, looking ahead with a structured plan for future tasks seems feasible now, a bit of pre-day clarity never hurts.
