כל מלאכה. שהיא לצורך המועד והתחיל בה קודם ארבעה עשר גומרה בארבעה עשר, ואפילו במקום שנהגו שלא לעשות מלאכה. אבל מלאכה שאינה לצורך המועד, במקום שנהגו לעשות מלאכה עושין, ומקום שנהגו שלא לעשות, אפילו התחיל בה קודם ארבעה עשר אינה גומרה:
חייטים. שרי בארבעה עשר בכל מקום, שכן מצינו בהן בחולו של מועד קולא יותר משאר אומניות שהדיוט שאינו אומן בכך תופר כדרכו, הלכך בארבעה עשר דקיל מחול המועד אפילו אומן נמי שרי:
והספרים והכובסין. שכן הבא ממדינת הים והיוצא מבית האסורים מספרים ומכבסים בחול המועד, וכיון דאשכחן בהן צד היתר בחול המועד, בארבעה עשר דקיל שרי לכולי עלמא:
אף הרצענים. שכן עולי רגלים מתקנין מנעליהן בחול המועד. וחכמים סברי אין למדין תחלת מלאכת רצענים שעושין מנעלים חדשים תחלה, מסוף מלאכה תיקון מנעלים של עולי רגלים. והלכה כחכמים:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Pesachim Perek 4 Mishnah 7
פסחים פרק ד׳ משנה ז׳
Bartenura
מושיבין שובכין – (Possible misinterpretation by Bartenura here – as the Mishnah is clearly speaking of chicken-coops). Dove cotes on which they would sit to raise the young birds, we place them there ab initio on the fourteenth [of Nisan].
ותרנגולת שברחה – on the Intermediate Days of the Festival [of Passover] whereas on the fourteenth, now that they have restore the coops, you might say that they are permissible ab initio, it is needed to return them, but rather, he said that the chickens who fled on the Intermediate Days of the Festival, we return them. For this is the case where she (i.e., the hen) has sat on the eggs for three days prior to fleeing , for the eggs are not appropriate for eating and it is a business which cannot be postponed without irretrievable loss (see Moed Katan 11a). Therefore, if it died, we sit another in its place because of the [potential] loss of the eggs.
גורפין – throw/cast outside.
ובמועד – which is more stringent, we don’t cast them outside, but rather remove them to the sides.
ומביאין כלים מבית האומן – on the fourteenth [of Nisan] and even though it is not for the needs of the Festival.
מושיבין שובכין. שובכי יונים שיהיו יושבים לגדל אפרוחים, מושיבין אותם לכתחלה בי״ד:
ותרנגולת שברחה. בחולו של מועד. דאילו בי״ד השתא אותובי שובכין לכתחלה אמרת דשרי אהדורי מיבעיא. אלא התרנגולת שברחה בחולו של מועד קאמר דמחזירין. והוא שישבה על הבצים ג׳ ימים קודם שברחה דשוב אין הביצים ראויים לאכילה ודבר האבד הוא, הלכך אם מתה מושיב אחרת תחתיה משום הפסד דביצים:
גורפין. משליכין לחוץ:
ובמועד. שחמור יותר, אין משליכין לחוץ אלא מסלקין לצדדין:
מוליכין ומביאין כלים מבית האומן. בארבעה עשר. ואע״פ שאינו לצורך המועד:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

כל מלאכה – [all work] which is for the needs of he Festival/Holiday and he began it prior to the fourteenth [of Nisan] may complete it on the fourteenth. And even in a place where they had the practice of not doing work. But work that is not for needs of he Festival, in a place where it was the practice to do work, they may do it, but I n a place where it was the practice not to do it, even if he began it prior to the fourteenth, he may not complete it.
חייטים – are permitted on the fourteenth [of Nisan] in every place, for we found regarding them a leniency even greater than other artisans on the Intermediate Days of the Festival for the commoner who is not an artisan in this sews/mends in the normal manner. Therefore, on the fourteenth [of Nisan] which is more lenient than the Intermediate Days of the Festival, even an artisan is also permitted.
והספרים והכובסים – and similarly one who comes from abroad and one who leaves from prison takes haircuts and does laundry on the Intermediate Days of the Festival, and since we find for them an indirect legal permission on the Intermediate Days of the Festival, on the fourteenth [of Nisan] which is lenient, we permit for the entire world.
אף הרצענים – for similarly those who come up [to Jerusalem] for the Festival repair their shoes on the Intermediate Days of the Festival. And the Sages hold that we don’t learn beginning the work of shoemakers who make new shoes first from the end of work the repair of shoes of those who go up [to Jerusalem] for the Festival. And the Halakha is according to the Sages (see Pesahim 55b).
