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 was a productive Thursday. I finally set myself up nicely with a larger monitor to work on my website. This felt amazing compared to yesterday’s headache-inducing struggle on the laptop screen. I didn’t have to squint at the code or shuffle between split screens, making the whole process much smoother.

My plan was simple: focus on the design work and blast through it without distractions. And that's exactly what I managed to do. The single-task focus worked wonders for my stress management, helping me finish a significant portion of the website updates—much more than I anticipated.

Beyond the productivity, I treated today as an opportunity to learn and adapt. After days of handling various webpage components, I started seeing the design differently. Initially puzzled by some layout components imported from another page, I found clarity today. These challenges turned into learning moments, sharpening my skills with React components. It feels like I’m finally cracking through the concepts, not just coasting.

Another exciting bit was wrapping up the newsletter. Admittedly, it was a quick mix, but it’s satisfying to have it out of the way. Oh, and let’s not forget the screwdriver mission—I retrieved the old doorbell from the former studio. One less thing to worry about. Collecting it felt like closing a chapter after the long, stretched-out sale saga.

The studio sale is on track and should finalize tomorrow. After months of uncertainty and figuring out ways to handle financial concerns, this brings immense relief. The weekend ahead should be different—hopefully free of looming financial stress. So, I’m keen on feeling more creatively inspired and focusing on what’s ahead with a new mindset.

I had a mini epiphany about the tools I’ve swapped over time. Thinking about using Tower again instead of command-line Git felt reassuring. Sometimes, taking a step back helps you appreciate what genuinely works best for your workflow. Maybe it’s time to trust in the easy solution.

Reflecting on everything, the week seems to be wrapping up better than it started—with hope rather than stress. Change feels manageable now, rather than daunting.
