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

Sunday was quite the journey. I set out with the goal of giving both the studio and the house a good overhaul. Organising the studio was like clearing a path in a dense forest—it needed attention and decisiveness. I rolled up my sleeves, determined to arrange things strategically so that I can easily delve into work on Monday without any fuss. The tidying mission turned out to be pretty smooth, and I left feeling ready to tackle the week's projects.

Back at home, it was all about ensuring that Nixie’s workspace is set up perfectly. She needs the kitchen table handy for her sewing and easy access to her computer and printer for her coursework. I wanted to create a practical yet inviting environment without overwhelming it with clutter. It was satisfying to finish, knowing that her creative flow wouldn't be disrupted by disarray.

In between the organising, I carved out some time for my passion project, “The Sea Howls from the West.” Experimenting with different pen nibs and testing plots on rough card was a tactile experience. I love finding just the right combination—the fountain pen ink I have is more stunning than I expected, a pleasant surprise that’s pushing me to try new things.

By day's end, I felt a comforting sense of order. The studio is primed for action, while the house is more conducive to Nixie's work. Jumping through my obsidian notes as a spot of light prep for the week was a thoughtful way to end the day. Although my inbox is far from zero, and feels more like an endless tide than a conquerable sea, I know there’s calm in having a plan.

Reflecting on the snowfall that lightly dusted outside gave a magical edge to the routine of the day. Although cold and slightly perilous out, the frosty sprinkle added a touch of wonder—a gentle reminder of winter’s beauty amidst chores and creative endeavours.

SUGGESTIONS

Certainly! Here's the plan for today based on the morning Q&As and ongoing themes:

Main Suggestion

Focus on achieving both organization at the studio and at home, making sure both spaces are prepared for a productive start to the week. This can enhance both personal well-being and professional readiness.

Action Points

  • Complete Studio Organization: Finish tidying up the work surfaces in the studio to ensure a seamless start on Monday. Make sure everything that’s needed on the desk is prioritized and labeled clearly.
  • Prepare Home for Nixie’s Needs: Rearrange and ensure Nixie has access to all necessary materials for her course on the kitchen table and study. Place items strategically to prevent an overwhelming work environment.
  • Create Test Plots: While moving between tasks, send a few plot prints of "The Sea Howls from the West" for relaxation and material testing. This will also help in planning future plot dimensions and pen choices effectively.

Affirmation

"Being organized and prepared creates a comforting space for creativity and productivity to flourish."

Additional Thoughts

As the weather has turned colder and potentially more dangerous with snow and ice, prioritize warming home meals today to balance out the energy used during organizing efforts. Furthermore, continue to explore journaling as a beneficial tool that aids in aligning daily expectations and reality.
