It is. The only difference is that you create five (or seven,  
depending on how many days a week you work) folders ONE TIME. That's  
all you ever have to do -- the rest is done automatically.

I think you're still fundamentally misunderstanding the whole idea.

What differences does it make whether it's a "smart folder" or a  
"normal folder?" The items are still there, still clickable, and self- 
updating.

I didn't mention the idea, but it's certainly something Automator  
could handle.
