What Today is actually showing you
Your notes and your memory state are kept apart. Today reads the memory side, so a Term you miss comes back sooner and one you keep remembering steps further out.
Today is not another folder to maintain. It is the place where MemorizeKit shows the material that is ready for review now, based on your memory state. That distinction matters because your saved content and your personal recall history have different jobs.
If you want the broader public context, start from the Blog index or browse the Explore Lessons preview. This guide focuses on the learner-visible meaning of a due list, not on backend scheduling details.
Today is a decision aid, not another folder
A folder is something you organize manually. Today is a decision aid. It helps answer a smaller question: “What should I review now if I want my memory to stay alive?” You do not need to rebuild the list every morning or guess which Lesson deserves attention.
For example, a Term from “Interview phrases” and another Term from “Reading: climate article” can appear together today. They are not in the same Lesson. They are together because both are ready for a review decision.
Content and memory state have different jobs
Content is the thing you saved: the sentence, phrase, note, explanation, or example. Memory state is your personal history with that Term. You can edit or revisit the content without pretending your memory is the same thing as the text.
That separation keeps the system easier to reason about. A phrase can stay in its original Lesson while its review timing changes. The Lesson answers “Where did this come from?” Today answers “Do I need to try recalling this now?”
What changes after a remembered review
When you remember a Term, the visible effect is simple: it usually needs less immediate attention. You have shown that the memory is still reachable, so the next review can move further away than it would after uncertainty.
Suppose you see “walk me through” and quickly remember that it means asking someone to explain steps in order. You check the saved example and it still feels clear. That Term does not need to keep interrupting the next study session as often.
What changes after a missed review
When you miss a Term, MemorizeKit treats that as useful information. The Term should return sooner because the memory was not available at the moment you needed it. A missed review is not a failure. It is a signal that the content needs more contact.
For example, if you confuse “rely on” with “deal with,” seeing the Term sooner helps you repair the connection while the mistake is still fresh. The goal is not to punish the miss. The goal is to make the next attempt better timed.
Use the due list without over-planning
The best way to use Today is to keep the ritual small. Open the list, review the Terms that are due, and stop when the session has served its purpose. If a review exposes a bigger gap, open the Lesson and read the source context again.
You do not need to turn Today into a second planning system. Let Lessons hold meaning. Let Tags help you find things. Let Today surface the Terms whose memory needs a decision now.
