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
Monday's focus was totally derailed today. I initially planned to tackle my newsletter, but things veered in an entirely different direction. Instead of writing about plotter work, I ended up setting up the new Epson P900 printer. When I sat down this morning, the plan was simple: sip my orange juice, do a bit of admin, and then dedicate the rest of the day to a newsletter post. Ideally, by the afternoon, I'd have a draft ready. But ambition sometimes gets the better of me.
I attempted to streamline some of the daily admin early on, hoping for a burst of productivity. After a lunch break, I dove into setting up the Epson, thinking I'd get it humming along smoothly in no time. Unexpectedly, that took quite a bit more effort than anticipated. Between adjusting settings, untangling cords, and minor troubleshooting, time slipped by unnoticed.
For a day that promised a productive sprint, it blinked by in technical challenges. While it was a successful setup, I can't help but feel the day vanished faster than the printer cartridges it installs.
Reflecting on the day, setting up the printer was certainly the highlight. Despite various challenges, seeing it work perfectly was deeply satisfying. With the new knowledge under my belt, I also look forward to exploring its capabilities more in the week.
Tomorrow is another opportunity. Perhaps, with this printer frenzy behind me, I can catch up on the tasks I put aside today. Overall, it's a mix of feeling accomplished and recognising I need to stay a tad more focused on upcoming tasks. Never a dull moment in the world of gadgets and art, so I'm grateful for progress, even in smaller steps than planned.
