I have taken to interstitial journaling. Partly for my sanity and partly to keep track of everything that is happening on the AI front.

Before I get into the details, here is what the last two days looked like for me.

An interstitial journal is writing down what you are doing between tasks. Really useful when everything is going this fast...

This is a day in the life of a meditation teacher in 2026. Hilarious 🤣.

Yesterday - 24 March 2026 (just the morning)


09 39 looking at Claude, certified architect - interesting. Might be worth doing.
09 41 Planning to downgrade the models for some of the bots to haiku and sonnet from opus
09 42 retrieving the migration state document so we can get a handle on the Nanoclaw state prior to migration - Docker sandbox for Linux upgrade/
09 45 Downgraded the calendar bot to haiku
09 49 Reviewed the top-performing Ad campaigns report produced by the Facebook marketing bot
09 56 Monitoring Claude Code in Chrome as it creates a Meta marketing campaign report for me.
10 05 I got the main bot to change the model for the calendar bot and investigated a suspicious scheduled task that attempted to modify the agent runner source code. Turns out the bot is paranoid (good). I used Claude Code on the server to perform the task and restart the nanoclaw service. The bot is happy.
10 07 Reviewing the deduplication and merge report from the remarketing bot
10 20 Instructed the remarketing bot to run the data deduplication process after backup, and added a merge field and a reviewed field.
10 22 identified anomalies in Google analytics for three dates I have requested the SEO bot to investigate the spikes on those days and report on page level and source data for those days - it turns out that they are single user highly engaged sessions.
10 54 I discovered that in Nanoclaw, scheduled tasks have a model associated with them in the same way, and channel groups do as well. Changing the model using the /model group model-name command also alters the scheduled task. I have instructed the Claude Channel DevOps bot to implement this.
10 56 the Claude instance on the nanoclaw folder, which is working with me to set up the migration, has rendered a state diagram of nano claw with Mermaid source in a markdown file that I can view to help me make choices about the migration.
1103 I just reviewed the SVG generated from the mermaid diagram of the Claude Code-generated state diagram. The diagram includes my APIs, the databases used in the channels, the mounting points for the Docker containers, and the IPC channels and workspaces. It's so instructive. Maybe worth capturing as a skill.md.
11:10 Adding the nanoclaw upgrade migration state reference to Bear for later review. That's enough for the migration for this morning.
11:11 I deleted Antigravity because I hardly ever use it, and it's forced its way to the top of all the share menus on my Mac.
11 24 the DevOps Claude channel seemed to hang again. I connected to the tmux session, and it completed its task. We now have scheduled tasks aligned with groups for model changes via a /model command in the bot channel
1130 back to the remarketing:
11 45 going through all the contacts to pull out those that are service emails, blacklisted, VIP, or marketing-opted-in.
12.27 Beginning to iterate through segmentation based on event attendees' status. I have 650 remarketing email addresses.
12.30 Checking messages, tasks and other bots for urgency
12.35 updating tasks list and daily task journal
1242 I'm personalising requests to my book bot because the output it generates is conversational and actually really good - I feel like I might have hit a sweet spot in context and model development. Need to make the most of this before the model changes too much.
12 45 Walking back, listening to the passage generated by the chatbot on Speechify, and messaging a customer as I walk.
Afternoon activities booked offline.

Evening - created another two bots, largely clones of the book bot. One for microlearning social posts, the other for blog articles.

Today - 25 March 2026

09:06 Based on this morning's scheduled security audit report, I asked the security bot to audit disk space usage — wanted a broad analysis, not a file list
09:15 chased the security bot; it seemed slow to respond
09:16 asked it to identify any unused Docker images — not a rogue process, just housekeeping.
09:18 followed up on memory usage — the Docker images likely explain the increase. Asked for overall disk stats and whether the swap file needs adjusting
09:21 asked about critical package upgrades that might need a reboot. It is all cool.
09:51 switched to the SEO bot — asked it to check Google Analytics for crawl activity since the URL migration to the new site.
09:57 asked the SEO bot to verify the sitemap location and check if it's correctly formed
19:53 on the train to London
10:02 Over to the new microlearning bot — discussed a draft-review-publish workflow using Publer API
10:06 New Articles bot — setting up a process for weekly articles on both my websites. One article per week per platform. It will mine my content (about 1,000 articles, talks, and class transcripts)
10:07 Settled on Google Docs for the microlearning draft review workflow — bot creates drafts, I edit, then it schedules via Publer
10:09 Same idea for articles — batching the review process, spending half a day ago a time working through posts
10:17 With the microlearning bot, I set up the microlearning Google Drive folder structure: microlearning/for-review and microlearning/reviewed. Working in a weekly series — week 13 is about Mindfulness-Based Resilience (Thursday and Saturday), week 14 is Pranayama. File names prefixed with week number (wk-13- etc) - will tweak as we go.
10:28 sent the articles bot two Excel files from the MBR course survey to extract data for the Mindfulness-Based Resilience article.
10:43 decided the MBR article will be long form — hooks packed into the intro. Asked the bot to write in my voice using the figurative language data from the content database
10:44 Clarified that the article is about the MBR course itself and what Mindfulness-Based Resilience is, based on course source data
11:00 marketing content bot — designing an 8-session training series for a global law firm. Needs to lead with evidence and performance framing, not "fluffy emotional training". Asked for the top 20 session topics from the content data
11:21 selected the final 8 topics for the law firm in 2026. Considered moving the Breathwork session from November to April for early impact — the first 2-3 sessions need maximum impact for minimum effort
11:45 confirmed the final session list with the swap. No sessions in August or December. The bot is outputting the formatted list to send to the client
11:50 started on editing the long-form Mindfulness-Based Resilience doc.
12-14:30 Ran a class at a City law firm.
15:00 confirmed the marketing content output was all good
15:01 Facebook marketing bot — researching the most effective images for mindfulness course social media advertising — I got suggestions for carousel slides, and I need to produce some Talking Head Videos (yuk!)
16:03 comms triage bot — asked it to scan two email accounts to identify all subscriptions so I can prune them.
16:14 asked it to put all subscriptions paid in the last two calendar months into a Google Sheet
16:44 back to Facebook marketing — chose an image approach, set a reminder for tomorrow lunchtime. Asked about the impact of adding trailing slashes to campaign URLs
16:47 set up a daily 3 pm reminder via comms triage to sort out the subscriptions
17:00 Facebook marketing — clarified my concern: will changing URLs restart the ads and affect performance data?
17:03 reviewing the articles bot's MBR draft. Asked it to add a Google Sheet to the Articles drive folder with the top 20 article topics it identified — Autopilot (123 source posts, zero articles) is the biggest gap
17:05 asked the microlearning bot to add its 10 series suggestions to a Google Sheet in the microlearning drive folder. Top series: Mantra Meditation, Sleep & Meditation, Pranayama, Worry & Rumination
17:06 set a daily morning reminder to start on the first set of microlearning posts
17:08 Facebook marketing — decided against changing the URLs mid-campaign. Need the performance data intact with events coming up
17:20 Set up a Self-Promotion Coach Project in Claude Code to deliver some talking-head videos. It added a reminder and some prompts to a calendar entry for tomorrow at 10 am.
17:38 Checked my messages in Outlook and my Instagram. Lots of new followers from the evergreen ads, but no emails.
17:52 Fixed broken reference in the DB backup bot to ensure databases get backed up.
