  2. Reply to Moraima re: trip receipts — 5 weeks overdue, do this first thing during work hours
  3. Review AI Infrastructure RFP — deadline March 8, only 4 days left
  4. Book Stanford trip (March 29 – April 1) — don’t repeat the expensive late-booking mistake
  5. Check Tamar Brand-Perez email re: RAG Custom GPTs — potential collaboration?

If Time Allows

  • Export Colombia chatbot data for Ana
  • Cancel LDT energizer flights (from Claude-ToDo)
  • Prep for Josh 1:1 Thursday — the “3 C’s” conversation

Look Ahead

  • Thursday: Josh 1:1 — prep the “3 C’s / next 12 months” conversation
  • Friday: AI Infrastructure RFP review should be done by then (deadline Sat Mar 8)
  • March 16-18: Josh traveling to U Mich Center of Academic Innovation — you’re solo
  • March 29 – April 1: Stanford trip (Tinkery Mon, Lake Forest Tue-Wed) — book travel ASAP
