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 felt like one of those productive days wrapped in a whirlwind of tasks. I started with a little #weeknotes video shooting. Nothing like talking through what’s been happening lately to get the brain going. Then, the printer saga continued. It seems macOS had decided to befriend two versions of the same printer. Sneaky! After some back and forth, I finally figured out which one deserved the boot. Sorting that out was like finding the missing piece of a puzzle—satisfying.

The highlight of the day was the arrival of the plan chests. When they finally arrived and were assembled, it was as if a breath of fresh air swept through the studio. They're not just storage; they're surfaces ready to bear the weight of new creations. It's funny how a flat surface can change your day. I’m excited to see this new organisation taking shape, even though I didn’t have time to file everything away. The drawers are calling my name to fill them up, but they'll wait for another day.

In between all that, I managed to keep my personal commitments like a seasoned juggler. I rushed home just in time to greet the chimney sweep. Funny how things fall into place when you least expect them to. All the little pieces of the puzzle just clicked today.

Today’s three big things: those plan chests. Maybe I’m a little obsessed, but they truly are a game-changer for the studio. In the little moments, I felt grateful for these practical additions that could help me unleash more creativity.

So, here's to a transformative Monday—organising, alighting on printer solutions, and keeping the home fires burning (literally, with the chimney clean). Small victories, but they all count. I ended the day feeling accomplished, if a bit tired, and more than ready for the rest of the week to unfold.

SUGGESTIONS

Main Suggestion for the Day

Focus on organizing your studio to enhance productivity and creativity, especially with the new plan chests arriving. This will create a more conducive workspace for your upcoming experiments with layered printing and other projects.

Quick Action Points

  • Paper Organization: Allocate the newly assembled plan chests to store paper, pen plots, and completed prints effectively. This will declutter your workspace, allowing for better workflow.
  • Printing Experimentation: Set aside a small time slot for initial experiments with printing layers separately. Prioritize your interest in simulating the Riso-type print effect.
  • Mindful Expectations: Keep expectations realistic by sticking to the main tasks outlined for today. Allow extra time for unexpected delays with delivery and assembly.

Affirmation

You're creating a space where creativity can flow freely. Embrace the transformation—every step you take is progress!

Additional Thoughts

Remember that big changes often start with simple actions. While the focus today is primarily on organization, consider documenting the process with photos or notes to share in your future zine projects. Your workspace serves as the foundation for your creative endeavors, and nurturing it will enrich your art, time management, and overall well-being. Enjoy the journey, Daniel!
