How often will I get exercise recommendation emails?

You choose! On your Preferences page, set your exercise email frequency to daily, weekly, monthly, or never.

Weekly is the default, and it's what I recommend: solving about one exercise a week builds a consistent learning habit, and consistent bite-sized practice beats binge-learning.

When do the emails arrive?

Recommendation emails go out at 7am US Pacific time: every day on the daily setting, Mondays on weekly, and the first Monday of the month on monthly.

The send time and day aren't configurable, but a frequency change takes effect with the very next scheduled send. And you never need to wait for an email: you can pick a new exercise from the Exercise Library at any time.

What's in the recommendation email?

Whatever's most useful to you right now, which isn't always a brand new exercise:

• If you have an exercise in progress, the email nudges you to finish it before recommending something new.
• If a scheduled revisit is due, that takes priority.
• If you've claimed an exercise but haven't started it, the email re-surfaces it.
• Otherwise you'll get a fresh exercise recommendation based on your skill level.

The email may also include a screencast or article recommendation, or the next item from your study queue.

Can I do exercises more often than my emails arrive?

Yes. The email frequency only controls emails, never your access to exercises.

If you have exercise credits, you can spend them in the Exercise Library whenever you like. On the All Access plan you can claim any exercise at any time, no credits needed.

Can I get exercises less often (once per month maybe)?

Yes. Two knobs, and they're independent:

• Set your email frequency to monthly (or never) on your Preferences page.
• The Lite plan grants 1 exercise credit on the 1st of each month, a naturally monthly rhythm.

How do I stop the emails entirely?

Set your exercise email frequency to never on your Preferences page. Your account, credits, and exercises are unaffected: this only stops the emails.
