What's happening?
The recurring schedule supplies a next occasion to use the product. Historical work informs later planning, and open work can roll forward. This is a work cadence, not a daily streak or evidence that routine alone causes retention.
Why it might work
How the mechanism creates value
Accumulated work makes the next session easier: users resume a project instead of recreating its context. The value grows with the usefulness of what is stored, rather than merely with the amount of data. Search and organization determine whether that history remains accessible.
