Daily Prep: Tuesday, June 9, 2026

An open focus day. AS:DE is canceled — Josh folded it into Thursday’s all-day Team Retreat (“we’ll see a lot of each other”). No other work meetings on the calendar today. That makes today (and Wed) prime runway before Thursday’s offsite: best used on the GPS retrospective (due June 30, ~3 weeks out — self-driven this week with no 1:1 to checkpoint against) and clearing the lingering ISTE presenter registration. Back’s still recovering from last week’s travel — keep the pace sane.

Open Threads from Yesterday

No daily file Sun/Mon. Carrying forward from last week’s open threads:

  • ISTE presenter registration + session participation agreement (Fizzy #124) — still owed since the May 28 email. Orlando is end of month; flights booked (SW WN4162, Jun 28, conf ARKR63).
  • Fix the Jul 1 ISTE calendar event location — still says “San Antonio, TX / Central Time,” should be Orlando. Throws off the time math.
  • GPS retrospective (R/R/R narrative + STAR prompts) — toward June 30. Today’s open window is the time to push it.

Today’s Calendar

No work meetings. AS:DE (11am) is canceled — folded into Thursday’s retreat. Open focus day.

Thursday this week: Team Retreat 2 “The Revenge of the Studio” — all-day Bay Area offsite with Josh + Joe, 9am–5:30pm. Flights booked (UA 2363 out 6am / UA 552 back 9pm, conf PKZGSB).

(Personal-calendar items — River, 100x, anniversary, CAP — omitted from work view.)

Email Action Items

Nothing — empty inbox today. No responses owed.

Slack Catch-Up

Quiet. The week’s unreads are general channel chatter (#3d-printing-talk marketplace posts, a #cop-ai post from Lloyd Tiam-Fook about Microsoft’s conference, BirthdayBot). No DMs needing a reply, no @mentions, nothing from Josh / Joe / Isabelle. Last week’s Josh DM thread (back injury, GPS, DCI deck) was fully resolved. Nothing to action.

Reminders

Cadence Nudges

  • GPS retrospective — June 30, ~3 weeks out. Today/Wed is the open runway; no 1:1 this week to checkpoint against, so it’s self-driven.
  • ISTE presenter registration + participation agreement (Fizzy #124) — owed since May 28. Knock out while you have a quiet day.
  • Logic Model (quarterly): June is the last month of Q2 — quarterly review due. Fold into Thursday’s retreat / next goal-setting beat with Josh.
  • Timecard: next deadline Jun 15 (Monday) — file at/before the retreat. Not urgent yet.
  • Fizzy Maybe: ~29 cards — triage pass on the board when a window opens.
  • 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, Amazon Business audit, echinacea). None work-actionable today.

From Inbox Processing

INBOX.md is empty. Nothing to route.

Today’s Priorities (Top 5)

  1. Push the GPS retrospective (R/R/R narrative + STAR prompts) — the open day is the window; deadline June 30. (80eacc95, b4acd418)
  2. Knock out ISTE presenter registration + participation agreement (Fizzy #124).
  3. Fix the Jul 1 ISTE calendar event location (San Antonio → Orlando) — quick, removes a future-confusion landmine.
  4. Workshops Sheet sync (Fizzy #119) — push the Jun 4 SMCOE + Jun 5 DCI rows to the Sheet shared with Josh.
  5. (When a gap opens: Fizzy Maybe triage; capture last week’s SMCOE + DCI delivery notes for the June Airtable while fresh.)
