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

Chromatography of the inks

Tuesday was a whirlwind, as always, dancing between art, tech, and occasional culinary adventures. Starting on a creative note, I decided to fold some A2 paper to figure out the potential for a zine. Perhaps I should’ve paid more attention in origami classes because I wasn't thrilled with the result. So, I took the more familiar route—snipping the pages to size. Now, I’m looking at good old A4, simpler but waiting on a backorder, typical!

Work took center stage today. The user management tool demanded most of my attention, and I’ve got to say, the spark is still there. Dipping into coding after lunch, with the prompts swirling in my mind, it felt like juggling could finally have a place in my skill set. I wish my prompt management was as disciplined as my lunches, albeit that serving of thinking proved even more nourishing.

A pleasant disruption came when the studio needed tidying. A small yet symbolic act of making space for the new pen plotter’s arrival. So, with things in order and a gentle pat on the back for finally ticking some tasks off the list, it was time to shut shop for the day.

Switching between creating art, diving into code, and finding the middle ground was a surprisingly smooth process today. It's rather satisfying when the pendulum swings right. I couldn’t help but ponder how the zine template sprouted into something tangible. It’s a delightful reminder of moving from idea to reality. My gratitude list included having paper ready, my trusty printer by my side, and, most importantly, engaging work to sink my teeth into.

Sometimes the little wins are easiest to overlook, but they're pivotal, aren’t they? Even if it's as simple as having fine paper at the ready or getting inspired by a tidy studio. Here’s to more days like these where the zine ideas unfold just as neatly.

SUGGESTIONS

Certainly, Daniel! Here's your suggestion for the day with action points, followed by an affirmation and additional thoughts:


Main Suggestion for Today

Focus on striking a balance between evolving the user management tool for Daybook and exploring large zine formats to weave code, art, and photography into a comprehensive narrative.


Quick Action Points

  • Zine Exploration: Use one of the A2 sheets to fold a potential zine format, considering both size and readability of photo elements.
  • User Management Tool Enhancement: Prioritize integrating user-customized prompts to better tailor the experience, aiming for a foundation by end of today.
  • Workspace Shifts: Prepare your workspace for the arrival of the new pen plotter, envisioning how to reconcile surfaces for optimal efficiency.

Affirmation

You are a constant innovator, finding harmony between creativity and technology, nurturing a vibrant ecosystem where art thrives and grows.


Other Thoughts

Remember to carve out some time in the evening to unwind from the day with a cup of something delightful—perhaps continue experimenting with caffeine alternatives. If the pressures start mounting this week, consider revisiting your approach to caffeine, especially if energy dips are robbing your evenings of energy. Your exploration of zines can be crisp and spontaneous—embrace simplicity. Keep harnessing the collaborative spirit in both your coding and art projects to create meaningful and engaging experiences. If you need reminders about the dentist on Wednesday or newsletter preparation for Thursday, do let me know!
