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
Friday's done and dusted, and I’m ending the work week feeling pretty good about what I managed to squeeze out of the studio today. The day kicked off with me running through the edits for the weeknotes first thing — a kickstart I love for framing the week and reflecting on what’s been achieved. It's like my own private 'highlights reel,' which makes me sound way more glamorous than I actually am!
Once that was boxed off, it was straight into tool-building mode. I created a nifty tool that lets me rescale my plotter designs to fit nicely onto different paper sizes. If there's anything better than a tool that just works, I haven't found it. This little helper isn't just about convenience; it's a game changer for getting all the lovely nitty-gritty from a huge A1 plot down to a friendly postcard size. Print artists, eat your heart out!
After lunch, I found myself elbow-deep in kaleidoscope designs again. But this time, it was all about perfecting the multicoloured mandala that’s been sitting in the back of my mind. I even managed a plot on some cotton rag paper with a chunky pen and couldn’t be happier with the result. A satisfying nod to the week’s end.
Reflecting on the day, there’s something really fulfilling about focussing the week's energy into plotting an impressive kaleidoscope. But let's also give a quiet round of applause for my trusty pens that worked a treat without any hiccups, considering all the pushing they’ve been through this week.
So as the day cools down, I’m wrapping up the evening feeling grateful for my little paper arsenal, the rainbow hues that played nice, and even the surprisingly cooperative weather. No dramatic endings here, just a mild dose of satisfaction. The weekend beckons its call for a well-earned rest, and let's see if I can leave the plotter craving for action until next week.
