Daily Prep: Thursday, June 4, 2026

Travel blew up. You boarded the 6am ONT→SFO, it had mechanical trouble, you deplaned and you’re back home. New plan: join SMCOE PD Day 1 by Zoom today, then catch a 6:30pm flight tonight to be in the Bay Area for the DCI Flash Lab (~50) tomorrow. Silver lining for your back: you can rest at home this morning instead of standing in a Redwood City classroom all day. First order of business — get a remote-join link from Christine/Greg before 9am.

Open Threads from Yesterday

  • ✅ June 11 retreat flights are booked. UA 2363 ONT→SFO (6am) out, UA 552 SFO→ONT (9pm) back — same-day round trip, conf PKZGSB. Retreat (“Team Retreat 2: The Revenge of the Studio”) is Jun 11, 9am–5:30pm. That thread is closed.
  • 🔴 ISTE flights still not booked. Host city confirmed Orlando (conference.iste.org/2026) — book SAN→MCO. Heads up: your calendar event “ISTE Live: AI Flash Lab Session” (Jul 1) has the wrong location (“San Antonio, TX / Central Time”) — fix that so the time math is right.
  • ✅ GPS notes — sent. You sent Josh the GPS Self-narrative (second tab of the GPS Narrative doc) yesterday, Jun 3 ~12:33pm. Not outstanding. (Separate forward-looking goals draft prep/2026-05-29-gps-goals-first-draft.md is still yours to finish editing — not something Josh asked for today.)
  • Build section for Josh — last night you said you’d send the Plan→Prototype “Build section” work after the chiropractor; you posted something ~9pm. Confirm it actually went if not.
  • ISTE presenter to-dos — register at presenter rate + sign the session participation agreement (May 28 email). Lower urgency than the flights.

Today’s Calendar

6:39 PM PT — Flight ONT→SFO (UA5624, DZ3Z5Z) — REBOOKED ✅

Personal items omitted from work view.

Email Action Items

Nothing actionable — two newsletters only (Short Answer, Flint). No responses owed.

Slack Catch-Up

Channels are quiet — no @mentions, no asks from Joe/Isabelle. The live thread is your Josh DM: back injury → half sick day → still planning to come up for Build-a-Bot (“see how I feel”); Josh OK’d a sick day if needed. GPS notes sent yesterday. Build section work to confirm-sent. Nothing there needs a fresh reply unless you’re updating him on your back / whether you’re traveling today.

Reminders

Cadence Nudges

  • 🔴 Book ISTE flights — Orlando confirmed, SAN→MCO, ~3.5 weeks out. Book in Egencia. Fix the Jul 1 calendar event’s wrong location while you’re at it.
  • Logic Model (quarterly): June is the last month of Q2 — quarterly logic-model review is due. Fold into the next goal-setting beat with Josh (ties to the GPS work).
  • Fizzy Maybe: ~28 cards still sitting in Maybe — worth a triage pass on the board when you get a window.
  • Timecard: next deadline Jun 15 — not yet. Strategic Horizon: still owed (low urgency).

Personal (triage on personal laptop)

  • Claude-ToDo (5) + Claude (6) — unchanged aspirational/system items (Google Workspace CLI, SQLite exec-assistant, SofIA vibe-coding, DeepMind skills, Prompt Caching 201, Amazon Business audit, echinacea). None work-actionable today.

Today’s Priorities (Top 5)

  1. ✅ Handled: on the Zoom, flight rebooked (UA5624, 6:39pm), hotel guaranteed late arrival, team looped in.
  2. Support SMCOE PD by Zoom — Tammy’s driving; back her up. Rest the back while you’re seated.
  3. Confirm tomorrow’s DCI Flash Lab scope (~50) + materials ready — today’s prep window shrank.
  4. ✅ ISTE Orlando flights booked (SW WN4162, Jun 28, conf ARKR63). Remaining: presenter registration + participation agreement (Fizzy #124) when a gap opens.
  5. (Low-pri: fix the Jul 1 calendar event location, San Antonio → Orlando.)
