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

Tuesday was quite the design-driven affair. My day was primarily focused on the t-shirt design. It's amazing how a seemingly simple task can keep you occupied for a good chunk of the day. I was still deeply into working on it by mid-afternoon and then moved on to the lettering part, which I found just as engaging.

The whole design process is a pretty immersive experience, where time just seems to slip away. There's something both satisfying and mildly nerve-wracking about making sure every detail is just right. It's like creating a tiny piece of art that someone might end up wearing. Having a hand in something like that makes me feel quite connected to the project.

Having spent the day in the studio, I didn't manage to get started on the administrative tasks I'd hoped to tackle. They are still lined up, patiently waiting for my attention. Kitty's keeping tabs on those, of course, so I’ll get there. For now, my focus remains on ensuring quality and creativity, rather than getting bogged down in the admin side of things.

With the specifics of today’s project so vivid in my mind, it becomes apparent how much I enjoy diving into my art projects. It’s always about finding that balance between designing something meaningful and ensuring it aligns with the intended purpose. Sometimes it’s easy to overlook the process in favour of jumping straight to the outcome. But today, it’s all about relishing that creative journey and ensuring every part of it is worthwhile in its own right.

So, while the numbers and figures await, the heart of my day remained firmly lodged in the realm of creativity. Tomorrow, I’ll probably need to shift gears a little to catch up on the tasks I've left aside. But for now, I’m content with where the day’s work has led me.

SUGGESTIONS

Main Suggestion for the Day:

Focus on finding the elusive missing clipping mask step in Procreate. Take a deep dive into tutorials or forums during scheduled downtime to overcome this digital collage hurdle that's been hanging around for a while.

Action Points:

  • Action 1: Schedule a session today dedicated solely to experimenting with clipping masks in Procreate. Take notes on any new tips or techniques learned.
  • Action 2: Clear and prep a small, organized workspace area for Procreate work to foster a more focused session, despite the larger studio chaos.
  • Action 3: Allocate some time to plan your schedule for the rest of the week, factoring in studio painting delays to ensure your workflow doesn't get too jammed up.

Affirmation:

"Every step forward, no matter how small, is a step towards mastering my craft and turning creativity into reality."

Other Thoughts:

Finding time for repetitive tasks like floor painting might feel like a drag, but hey, it’s all part of the bigger picture of crafting a workspace that truly suits your vibrant creative spirit. Also – since this is Procreate and Clipping Masks have decided today’s their time to shine, let’s make sure to finally kick these mysteries to the curb. Time to sharpen those digital pencils and layer masks, Dan!
