Wrench in the Works

I had a little hiccup over the past few days with my goal. On Thursday I only read half of chapter 7 since it was a pretty long chapter; about 40 pages. On Friday I just didn't read at all. I didn't like that very much and set out to fix it. So Saturday I caught up my reading up to Friday (Chapters 7 - 8). Then this morning I knocked out Saturday and Sunday's reading so that I am now back on track.

This circumstance has brought up an important point though. I've decided to refine my goal. Instead of plainly reading a chapter a day, I'll instead read a chapter a day up until 30 pages. At that point I will either split the chapter in half or break it up in some logical manner based on the chapters natural divisions. Really the only reason I specified chapters is because that is how many books are naturally divided. However, my real goal is really only to read a manageable amount each day. I hope this new system will work out better.
