Morning Writing Log
Active drafts list prepended to your journal at 5 AM
A cron job that scans the vault for active drafts and outlines, then lists them at the top of today's journal. When I sit down to write in the morning, I immediately see what's in progress and can just pick something.

## Morning Writing Log
### Active drafts and outlines:
- [[Draft Title 1]] -- status note
- [[Draft Title 2]] -- needs editing
- [[Outline: Article Idea]] -- outline complete, ready to draft
### Pick 1-2 to work on today:
-Setup Prompt (Cron Job)
Create a cron job called "Morning Writing Log" at 5:00 AM every day.
It should:
1. Search the vault for pages with type:: draft, type:: outline,
or type:: article
2. Also check workspace for any draft files
3. Filter to only active/in-progress items (not published or archived)
4. Prepend a "Morning Writing Log" section to today's journal listing
each draft with its status
5. Include: "Pick 1-2 to work on today:"
6. If no active drafts found, write "No active drafts found. Start
something new?"
7. Log completion in today's memory file
This should be the FIRST section in the daily journal. Prepend,
don't append.It runs at 5 AM so the list is ready before I'm awake. Adjust the time to whatever works for your schedule.
