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?
