What happens if I miss a day?
Missing a Daily Loop does not break your mastery. Here is what actually changes.
Short version: you have not lost anything important. Mastery is not a streak. The spacing schedule absorbs missed days and pulls the lessons that needed practice back into your next loop.
What changes when you miss a day
- Drills you would have done shift forward. The scheduler does not pile them up; it picks the few that matter most for the day you do show up.
- Your streak counter resets. Streaks count consecutive training days you actually answered. A missed training day breaks the streak. A non-training day (weekend, team holiday, configured day off) does not.
- Mastery does not go down. A lesson you mastered last week is still mastered today. You may see it sooner than scheduled because the system tightens the interval after any gap, but the underlying mastery state is unchanged.
What you should do tomorrow
Just open the loop. The drills you see will be the ones the schedule decided are most at risk of slipping. Do those, and you are caught up. There is no makeup quiz, and you do not need to “do extra” to compensate.
When missing a day actually matters
A handful of missed days in a row is fine. A few weeks of nothing and the schedule will treat you as a re-entry: more drills per day for a short stretch while it re-verifies which lessons are still solid. This is built into the system; you do not have to do anything special, and it settles back to the normal cadence after a few days.
