The answer stays hidden until you try.

Now, without looking: who remembered more a week later?

Save an idea and it comes back tomorrow, then in 3 days, a week, three weeks and two months, for as long as you keep remembering it.

That's today. Small enough to finish, every day.

    Today in numbers. Every story names its source.
