One way: Create a reference file dated at the start of the day and find all files newer than that file:
This script is designed to take a directory name as a parameter and contains code to clean up after itself.

Code:
DIR="$1"
if [ "${DIR}""X" = "X" ]
then
        DIR=`pwd`
fi
YYYYMMDD="`date +%Y%m%d`"       # Reversed date yyyymmdd
REFERENCE=/var/tmp/reference.${YYYYMMDD}.$$
touch -t ${YYYYMMDD}0000 ${REFERENCE}
#
MYEXIT ()
{
if [ -f "${REFERENCE}" ]
then
        rm "${REFERENCE}"
fi
#
exit
}
#
trap 'MYEXIT' 1 2 3 15
#
(
find "${DIR}" -type f -newer "${REFERENCE}" -exec ls -lad {} \;
) 2>&1 | pg
#
MYEXIT

calendar

CALENDAR(1)						      General Commands Manual						       CALENDAR(1)

NAME

       calendar - reminder service

SYNOPSIS

       calendar [ - ]

DESCRIPTION

       Calendar consults the file `calendar' in the current directory and prints out lines that contain today's or tomorrow's date anywhere in the
       line.  Most reasonable month-day dates such as `Dec. 7,' `december 7,' `12/7,' etc., are recognized, but not `7 December'  or  `7/12'.	On
       weekends `tomorrow' extends through Monday.

       When  an argument is present, calendar does its job for every user who has a file `calendar' in his login directory and sends him any posi-
       tive results by mail(1).  Normally this is done daily in the wee hours under control of cron(8).

FILES

       calendar
       /usr/lib/calendar to figure out today's and tomorrow's dates
       /etc/passwd
       /tmp/cal*
       egrep, sed, mail subprocesses

SEE ALSO

       at(1), cron(8), mail(1)

BUGS

       Your calendar must be public information for you to get reminder service.
       Calendar's extended idea of `tomorrow' doesn't account for holidays.
