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

Thursday started with a plan, but as they say, no plan survives contact with reality—after less than five minutes in fact! Got up early, full of beans, and crafted a thorough action plan. My first mission, putting together the October month divider on the iPad, was sidetracked. Instead, I dove into some seemingly "Procreate-ful" experiments. I learnt that clipping masks remain a mystery—more googling needed on that front.

In an attempt to optimise my workspace, I spent significant time relocating my things to clear the floor. Given the studio's half-hearted claim to organisation, the result was a chaotic medley of relocating and realising just how much unused clutter I'd moved from one studio to another. Note to future self: a bit of decluttering is more overdue than post!

As I was sorting through videos—trying not to turn into a tangled mess of footage—Kitty the AI asked me what I was doing, ensuring I wasn’t just talking to myself. Staying on task, I worked on tidying up for about three hours. By the end, the floor was ready, gleaming and dust-free. The most significant gain being the clarity of realizing how much I need to downsize.

In the afternoon, I gracefully bowed out of work and spent some much-needed time with my family. Perhaps the highlight of my day, providing a balance in the work-life see-saw and relieving some stress. Did a quick mental checklist of all the things I'm grateful for: my studio, food, and a calm atmosphere. Simple things, but they carry immense weight.

Reflecting on it all, the chaos had its way of adding a sprinkle of clarity, and the family time sealed it. A day well spent, giving me much to ponder on as I get ready to prep and paint the floor next week. Time to head off, muse over clip masks, and tuck in early—who knows, another day may bring newer, cleaner insights.

SUGGESTIONS

Main Suggestion for Today

Focus on clearing and organizing the studio space to prepare for next week's floor painting. This will set a solid foundation for productivity in the upcoming weeks and facilitate an efficient work environment.

Quick Action Bullet Points

  • Begin Relocating Items: Start moving all loose items from tables and bookshelves to the other half of the room to ensure a clear floor space for painting.
  • Organize Storage Boxes: Utilize storage boxes to effectively gather loose items, ensuring easy relocation and minimizing disruption in your workspace.
  • Vacuum Thoroughly: Dedicate the next three hours to vacuuming the floor and removing any dust accumulation, to keep your work environment clean and healthy.

Affirmation

"With each step I take today, I am creating a more organized and peaceful space that fosters creativity and happiness."

Other Thoughts

Next week offers an opportunity to work outside the studio while the floor dries. Utilize this time to focus on coding tasks that don't require the full studio setup, such as improving your threads automation. This approach could facilitate seamless posting and engagement with your community. Additionally, as you move through today's organizing tasks, consider creative layouts for when everything is moved back, potentially optimizing the studio space for future projects.
