Today and planning

Today turns your current study state into a clear decision for the day.

Today answers what makes sense to do now. Rhythm organizes workload, capacity, availability, rest, new material, forecast, and Safe Ahead when available.

Overview

Today is the present decision; Rhythm is broader planning. Scheduler and planner remain different concepts.

What Today is

Today is the authoritative operational snapshot of the day, not a static list, forecast, manual calendar, or score.

Now

Now contains the work the current contract considers appropriate at this moment, without turning public criteria into an absolute rule.

Later today and Optional

Later today is work expected today; Optional items are opportunities without replacing the priority core.

Completed

Completed represents confirmed progress during the day, not an in-flight request or optimistic UI.

Rhythm

Rhythm fits expected workload into the days when the user can actually study.

Scheduler, planner, and Rhythm

The calendar does not falsify memory to make the schedule fit.

Availability and rest

Availability can include days, minutes, reduced days, rest, and busy blocks; unknown/null is not zero.

New cards

New material also competes for capacity and remains governed by planner and Activation Queue.

Forecast

Forecast shows expected future workload; Today shows the present decision.

Safe Ahead

When available, Safe Ahead moves eligible work earlier without erasing origin or rewriting the scheduler.

When Today changes

Today can change after a confirmed review, block completion, new release, plan change, or relevant update.

Limits

Planning does not know unreported time, surprises, external tasks, real energy, or all future obligations.
