Before the Coffee Kicked In
01 Mar 2026 1 min read
I used to draw Noah a worksheet every morning: a maths problem, a writing prompt, a physical exercise and a drawing challenge. I liked the ritual. What I couldn’t reliably do was invent four fresh ones before the coffee kicked in.
So I kept the sheet and outsourced the blank page. The template generates all four sections on the server, and every refresh gives you a different set of problems and prompts.
It works on an iPad, but I still print it. The machine can come up with the questions. Noah gets to attack them with a pencil.
