However, when it runs the first time it prompts for creation.
To avoid that you could schedule an automation every day to create a draft - but you may end up with a redundant draft if you don’t add anything that day.
You could also then have something scheduled to tidy up such drafts, but overall you can have a shortcut with just a few steps that does the checking, creation, and openjng, without the extra prompt.

Thanks for the clarification and the Shortcuts. It’s handy for quick access to today’s plan or journaling through the day
