Daily article operations guide
Seed tomorrow’s article queue before the remote content shift ends
Prepare the next day’s first decisions without treating an unapproved idea as a ready assignment.
Where the work breaks
Starting every morning by inventing topics loses writing time and may repeat an existing article. Loose ideas, however, are not approved briefs.
A routine the team can repeat
Propose reader questions before sign-off. Check recent titles and slugs, note the family, identify likely primary sources, and mark items proposed until accepted.
What to keep in the record
Keep the overlap check, proposed identity, source leads, owner response, and queue status. Retain rejected ideas to prevent unchanged repeats.
Who decides
The assistant prepares options. The editor chooses the topic, publication date, evidence standard, and priority.
Use this in the daily queue
Apply the check to one named article and keep the result with that article’s release record. A short, specific entry is more useful than a generic "done" status.
