Throughout the day

Write in Today.md as you work:

Common patterns

​
Missed a day?

Run the review ritual anyway. It handles gaps gracefully.

​
Multiple days behind?

Run review for each day in sequence, or just start fresh with today’s planning ritual. The system is forgiving.

​
Traveling or on vacation?

Skip rituals guilt-free. When you return, run the review for whatever you captured (even if incomplete) and start fresh.
