Reading Plans

Find your plan.

Every plan runs the same streams — the difference is how many, and how deep. Start with Starter. Move up when it feels like a default, not a discipline.

How it works

Four steps. Every week.

Every plan follows the same rhythm — choose, read, reflect, review. The only difference between plans is the number of streams.

  1. Choose your plan

    Start with Starter — six weeks, two streams. Move to Standard or Intensive when the habit is solid, not before.

  2. Read daily

    Each day, read one chapter per active stream. Starter takes 15–20 minutes. Intensive takes up to 90.

  3. Reflect on each chapter

    Annotate as you go using SPECS or REAP — a question, an observation, a single sentence. Keep it light.

  4. Review on Saturday

    Saturday is reflection day. Gather your week's notes and sit with them. No new reading — just review.

Stream comparison

Every stream. Every plan.

Each row is a stream. A filled cell means that stream is active in that plan.
