If present and fresh (date within 7 days):
If empty or stale (>7 days since the week date):
Find all desk/*/BINDER.md files (exclude desk/z_archive/). Read each and extract:
Group by status and display:
## Desk
**Active:**
- **{binder}/** — {one-liner}. Last: {date}. Next: {next action}.
**Parked:**
- **{binder}/** — {one-liner}.
Sort active binders by last session date (most recent first). Flag any active binder with a last session 14+ days old as stale.
If areas/work/commitments.md exists, read it. Surface any items that seem timely or overdue — things you owe people that need attention soon.
Read areas/work/backburner.md. Scan for items that connect to what's currently active on the desk (e.g., a backburner item for someone working on an active binder's project). Surface 1-3 timely items, if any.
If no items seem timely, or if the files don't exist, skip this section.
Based on This Week priorities + desk state + any timely backburner items, suggest 2-3 things to focus on today. Keep it concrete and actionable. Cross-reference areas/work/AREA.md Big Rocks section (if it exists) to ensure suggestions align with active goals.
