I've always wanted to read the bible entirely through but never quite made it...I always felt like it was one of those things you start and don't quite finish...and I personally don't like that feeling. That's why I was very pleased when a friend of mine gave me a schedule she uses, which outlines the way you can finish reading the bible in a year. It's perfect because I'll actually accomplish my goal but at the same time it won't be a huge time-consuming task because it'll be stretched out over a year.
You can apply this rule to most any reading task. This is a good tool for students in particular. Consider when you would like to finish the book (ex. 10 days), how many pages the book has (ex. 150), and divide the pages by the days (ex. 150/10=15)...this will tell you how many pages you have to read each day (ex. 15).
Hope this helps...it sure helped to keep me on track :-).

Hi Chasity,
I am not religious, and I'd never read the bible cover to cover... but you offer great advise for anyone wanting to break a large task into more manageable, smaller tasks. Using the bible as an example is great... now, that takes some dedication to read and process all that history and information!

Thanks to John Trosko for status-updating these confessions on Facebook. I've started a Facebook group, Through the Bible in a Year, based on the same or similar schedule. All are welcome to join.
