What you actually do first
- Week 1: book 1 — Book 1 of 52 · 51 weeks left in the year. Pick something you actually want to read, not something you think you should have read. Finish, carry forward, switch, or DNF — the log should reflect real reading rather than protect a target.
- Week 2: book 2 — Book 2 of 52 · 50 weeks left in the year. Protect one fixed reading slot this week rather than hoping for spare time. Finish, carry forward, switch, or DNF — the log should reflect real reading rather than protect a target.
- Week 3: book 3 — Book 3 of 52 · 49 weeks left in the year. If a book is not working by page fifty, DNF it and log that honestly — it counts as a decision. Finish, carry forward, switch, or DNF — the log should reflect real reading rather than protect a target.
- Week 4: book 4 — Book 4 of 52 · 48 weeks left in the year. Alternate weight: follow a demanding book with a fast one on purpose. Finish, carry forward, switch, or DNF — the log should reflect real reading rather than protect a target.
- Week 5: book 5 — Book 5 of 52 · 47 weeks left in the year. Carry a book forward if it deserves two weeks; the log should show real reading, not a padded count. Finish, carry forward, switch, or DNF — the log should reflect real reading rather than protect a target.
- Week 6: book 6 — Book 6 of 52 · 46 weeks left in the year. Note one sentence you would repeat to someone else. Finish, carry forward, switch, or DNF — the log should reflect real reading rather than protect a target.
- Week 7: book 7 — Book 7 of 52 · 45 weeks left in the year. Check the pace against the calendar, not against how productive you feel. Finish, carry forward, switch, or DNF — the log should reflect real reading rather than protect a target.
