We really are the same. I keep a journal in org-mode and in my .emacs I have cron-like periodic function that switches to my journal in the middle of the night so that it's the first thing I see when I unlock my computer in the morning. Something like:

  (run-at-time "23:59" 86400 (lambda ()
                              switch-to-buffer "journal.org")))

That's an awesome idea. Anything that pares down the number of decisions I have to make to jumpstart my day...

I only picked up emacs about a month ago, investing heavily in customizing it. It has seriously helped so much with my focus since it takes out all the distractions/opportunities for context switching.

I'm trying to learn the vim version so I can try and put my life together.

But that is so amazingly cool. I bet I could do that in vim as well.
