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 vibes came with a side of cold fingers today. My studio was a brisk 6 degrees Celsius in the morning - cold enough to see my breath. My fingertips, the stubbornly cold culprits, were the only things keeping me aware of the chilly atmosphere. Nonetheless, I powered through my day armed with determination and, importantly, music to keep me company while tackling my tasks.

I've bid farewell to the stamping experiments I wrapped up last week. This week, I'm diving headfirst into the realm of oil pastels to see how they interact with the drawing machine. It’s like setting off on a new voyage - every day, I'll tinker a bit with code to advance this project. But today wasn’t about pastels; it was about getting four pivotal tasks done on the Digital Daybook. You know me, I can easily get sidetracked with the various fascinating technology in the studio, but today, I made a point to sit at my desk and code.

Lunch brought an interruption of sorts with birthday present action. I hadn't yet wrapped and sent those gifts, which was on my mind. Post lunchtime code accomplishments, I headed to town to gather wrapping paper and prepared to send those off - tick those off the list, at last!

Whilst my main agenda was attached to the laptop, wrapping gifts was gratifyingly therapeutic in its own way. My aim today was absolute focus on my digital daybook tasklist without straying too much into pen plotters and 3D printing. Still, I did ensure to snag the all-important zine files - that’ll keep my creative pursuits ticking along nicely at home tonight.

It might seem chaotic, but there’s a calm amongst the hustle. My gear bag? Still playing hide and seek, but I’m onto it. Tonight will be a relaxed one, especially without the persistent present to-do hanging around. I do feel accomplished even if my fingertips have complained now and again, there’s no quitting in the face of a bit of chill.

Here’s a toast to a productive day and plenty more to look forward to this week.

SUGGESTIONS

Main Suggestion for the Day

Focus on the integration of oil pastels into the drawing machine workflow and advancing the digital daybook project without getting sidetracked by other interesting but unrelated projects.

Quick Action Points

  • Dedicate focused time blocks to coding each day, with short breaks to maintain energy and productivity.
  • Prioritize organizing and wrapping birthday presents to avoid last-minute rush and distractions.
  • Ensure all necessary files for zine production are collected on the external drive before leaving the studio.

Affirmation: Today, I am focused, organized, and creative, ensuring steady progress on my projects while staying energized and invigorated.

Other Thoughts

The shift from stamping experiments to oil pastels is a refreshing change that has the potential to both challenge and expand your creative techniques. It's important to maintain focused periods of work on the digital daybook and let the music counterbalance any tedium of coding. Remember to keep the studio warm enough to remain comfortable, perhaps using heated blankets or visiting a co-working space if necessary. Wrapping presents and preparing files should be treated as quick wins to add momentum to your day.
