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

Thursday, another day, another art adventure. I kicked off the morning juggling creativity and the pressing reality of time constraints. Prioritizing tasks feels like trying to win a game of Tetris while juggling flaming torches. I focused on setting up an A3 oil pastels drawing, a task that’s more background music than centre stage—but it added a splash of excitement to the day. Surprisingly, oil pastels weren’t as soft as expected, but that's just another quirky challenge to refine my plotting technique.

The doc appointment at 10:00 was my first non-creative task of the day, seamlessly followed by setting another 3D print away in the studio. Writing for work loomed, so I squeezed that in, keeping hydrated as a strategy against feeling overwhelmed. Managing time sometimes feels like attempting a magic trick with invisible rabbit ears—baffling but amusing when it eventually works out.

Mid-afternoon rolled around, and yes, I found myself knee-deep in documenting documentation. Riveting stuff. Then it was back to testing the machine’s involvement in the oil pastel world, getting it to draw swirls and curves, even if it meant tweaking the code a little. My drawing machine and 3D printer deserve a shoutout—they're always up for the challenge, diligently working away while I ponder creative chaos.

Reflecting on the day, although all tasks weren’t ticked off, it wasn’t a total loss. The studio vibe carried me through, as always. There's a comforting satisfaction in knowing things are quietly progressing, like the steady purring of the 3D printer in the background.

Today, I’m grateful for life’s unpredictable twists, my beloved gadgets, and—perhaps most essential—for clean water that keeps the creative mojo flowing. Here's to the simple joys, even when the oils don't glide like a dream and the to-do list seems never-ending. Cheers to that!

SUGGESTIONS

Main Suggestion for the Day

Focus on prioritizing tasks to ensure that high-impact activities get top attention. Since your schedule is packed and several projects are overlapping, it's crucial to identify and tackle items with the highest priority to maximize productivity without feeling overwhelmed.

  • Finalize and Send Off the A3 Oil Pastels Drawing: You mentioned this as a background task that doesn't require much active management. Ensure it's set and checked for completion so it doesn't weigh on your to-do list longer than needed.

  • Prepare and Send Out the Newsletter: Since you're aiming for it to go out this evening, make the necessary touches early to avoid a rush later in the day.

  • Plan Out Next Week with Clarity on Priorities: Take some time to think about upcoming tasks and workload for the next week. Since you previously mentioned struggling with planning, a clear roadmap can help maintain momentum. Affirmation: "I am moving forward with clarity and focus, ensuring each moment counts."

Other Thoughts

  • Remember the importance of breaks. While the drawing machine needs timely attention, continue this as an opportunity to naturally pace yourself throughout the day.

  • Keep in mind the ongoing tasks like the zine and project pages. Regularly revisit these to ensure they align with your timelines and goals.

  • Consider setting dedicated time slots later in the week for tasks that you couldn't fit in, like website updates and personal projects, ensuring you don't lose sight of them amidst daily demands.
