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
Tuesday rolled in, carrying with it a whirlwind of creativity and a packed agenda. The first sparks of creativity came with thoughts of video recordings and transforming stamped sheets into quaint little postcards. How creative? Perhaps not borders on genius, but delightful nonetheless.
As prioritising projects often brings the same sort of satisfaction as tidying a chaotic room, I got thinking about portfolio organisation today. There’s a coaxing voice in my head suggesting that maybe there’s room for a new category: stamps. There’s something grounding in having a page on my website serve as a project timeline of sorts, one that chronicles those spur-of-the-moment artistic adventures, complete with pictures and musings. This grand plan, however, won’t quite make the today list; but will linger politely in my reminders for future action.
Self-care mused its way into the schedule with subtle whispers about music. Beneath today’s busy guise lies a need for a rhythm—both in the sense of work and relaxation. I’ve found solace simply in not overthinking and allowing breaks to happen naturally.
The plans for today mapped themselves out like a well-thought itinerary: jotting down video snippets for Weeknotes, warming up 3D printers, and turning a paper sheet into cheerful postage memories. Work calls for progress on the digital daybook, but somewhere amidst today’s chaos lies the much-needed simple act of a haircut—a surprisingly fulfilling milestone in the daily marathon.
Reflecting back on the adventures unto which the digital daybook prototype took me, I’m pretty satisfied with today’s progress. Tomorrow’s to-do? Avoid the pesky bits, naturally! As for the creative foray into weekly notes, it’s been a smooth ride but it leaves me scrambling to juggle the edit fun on Thursday night.
A clutter-free portfolio remains somewhere in the wings, teasing a wishful notion of an idyllic Sunday or suitable evening. As projects unfold and the 3D printer hums along, moments like these remind me of the joy in simple artistic pursuits, like chatting with a mentor friend over life ideas, tinkering with 3D printers, and eventually heralding a well-served day of achievement.
