Automator workflow for weekly review

I have been trying to create Automator workflows for regular rituals such as the weekly review. They are meant to keep me on track and prevent me from getting distracted, so they rely heavily on the "Wait for User Action" component that shows me a message ("Process all index card items") until I click OK, after which it goes to the next one.

It works like a charm when I run it from the Automator; however, when I save it as a workflow or app, the thing just opens and immediately closes. Any ideas on how I could get this to work?

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
