The present paper provides a short review of recent progresses in understanding out of equilibrium vortex behaviours in type II superconductors by use of a schematic coarse grained vortex model. In particular, it is possible to depict a unifying scenario for magnetic and transport properties of off-equilibrium vortex matter, ranging from the reentrant phase diagram, to magnetisation loops, "anomalous" 2-nd peak, logarithmic creep, "anomalous" finite creep rate for T → 0, "memory" and "irreversibility" in I-V characteristics, "rejuvenation" and "stiffening" of the system response.
