day-to-day
Ordinary, each morning
Day-to-day describes what happens regularly or routinely, the ordinary business of life: the day-to-day operations of the company, day-to-day responsibilities.
It can also mean happening one day at a time, without long-term planning: We're taking it day-to-day.
In sports, an injured player listed as day-to-day might return soon—their status is reassessed daily.
