How it works
This planner divides your total reading evenly across weeks, then shows how much you need to read each day. Optionally add your reading speed to see time estimates.
Remember: actual reading time depends on material difficulty. Dense textbooks take longer than novels. Adjust your pace as needed and take breaks for better comprehension.
How to Plan Your Reading Effectively
Why Plan Your Reading?
- •Avoid Last-Minute Cramming: Spreading reading over weeks improves comprehension and retention compared to marathon sessions.
- •Manageable Daily Goals: Knowing exactly how many pages or chapters to read each day makes the task feel less overwhelming.
- •Track Progress: Visual progress helps maintain motivation and allows you to adjust if you fall behind.
- •Better Time Management: Time estimates help you plan your day and balance reading with other commitments.
Tips for Effective Reading
- •Active Reading: Take notes, highlight key points, and summarize sections in your own words to improve retention.
- •Break Sessions: Use techniques like Pomodoro (25-50 min reading, 5-10 min break) to maintain focus.
- •Adjust for Difficulty: Dense textbooks need more time per page than novels. Slow down for complex material.
- •Consistent Schedule: Reading at the same time each day builds a habit that's easier to maintain.
Understanding Workload Labels
Note: These estimates are for average reading material. Dense textbooks, technical documentation, or complex literature will require more time per page.
