1. Write the constraint
Book title, pages left, target finish date, and the days you can actually read.
Template
Reading plan template
Use this template when you already know the daily target and need a simple way to keep the week realistic.
Start with the pages per day calculator if you do not have a target yet. Then use this page to make the number visible in your week.
2. Add the daily target
Use one minimum page target for normal days and one recovery target for lighter days.
3. Decide the recovery rule
If you miss a day, recalculate the remaining pages instead of pretending nothing changed.
4. Review once a week
Keep the finish date visible and adjust the schedule before the book disappears from your routine.
