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 found me amid a minor studio adventure: tackling the chaotic bread bin on my desk. This object has morphed over the years from a functional monitor riser into a chaotic repository of miscellaneous items. As I started pulling out contents, I realised its cluttered condition. Instead of hastily shovelling everything into a box (tempting as that was), I thought I might as well be more strategic about it.

Scanning my surroundings, I spotted an empty box on a bookshelf – perfect for storing some of the more frequently used items cluttering the bread bin. This simple task became my main studio project for the day, a small but significant step towards reclaiming some order.

The day wasn't all about cleaning, though. As my morning studio session wrapped up, my thoughts turned to incorporating mindfulness into my evening routine. My method of choice? Unwinding with my E-ink tablet. Unlike the glaring glow of a laptop, the gentle display of the E-ink is conducive to relaxation. While sketching or jotting on the tablet, I often discover a clarity of thought that eludes me during busier parts of the day.

The rest of my day held promise, too. Post-studio plans included a couple of hours dedicated to sorting our somewhat chaotic downstairs room. I aimed to make a noticeable dent in the clutter by week’s end. Today, though, the pursuit was just chipping away for a few hours, a slow march toward order and functionality.

In a stroke of unexpected fortune, I learned that my impromptu tidying session had spun off into the acquisition of a new desk shelf and storage boxes – a testament that even the messiest jobs can lead to improvements. With a long list of tasks ahead, embracing the small wins and efforts of the day remains crucial, alongside tranquil evenings unwinding with a little offline time.

SUGGESTIONS

Main Suggestion for the Day: Focus on decluttering and organizing your workspace and home environments to foster clarity and readiness for the upcoming weeks. Action Points:

  • Dedicate an hour or so to sort through the bread bin on your desk, find a suitable storage solution for the essentials, and clear away non-essentials (perhaps using the empty box you've spotted on the bookshelf).
  • Allocate a couple of hours to make progress on reorganizing the downstairs room—aim to complete part of the 80% you mentioned, perhaps by strategically rearranging some furniture to access the storage solutions being prepared.
  • Take time this evening to relax with your E-ink tablet, allowing space for creative doodling and sketching as a mindful way to unwind. Affirmation: "I am creating space for creativity and calm by decluttering my environments and prioritizing my wellness." Additional Thoughts: Your focus on taking small, manageable steps daily is really paying off! 😊 You've already acknowledged the 80-20 principle and understood the value of gradually chipping away at larger tasks, like sorting and organizing. Also, these organizing efforts will hopefully spark new inspiration for next week's projects, and your generative art pursuits. Have fun with the process!

Cheerful Kitty 😸
