Multi-year Chronological Bible Reading Plan?

So a new year is quickly approaching and i'm trying to get a plan together for next year's bible reading.  This year I am on track to complete reading the bible through cover to cover, which has been great.  Next year I would like to read it through chronologically because I am interested in seeing the Psalms and prophets interwoven within the timeline as events are happening.  My concern is that while I have successfully read my bible every day this, there are times when it was rushed and I wasn't able to spend too much time mediating on what I read.  I'd like to try and remedy that by utilizing a multi-year chronological bible reading schedule so it's less reading and provides more time to meditate and study (in theory).  

All I see in Logos is a one year chronological plan.  Is it possible to adjust that into a two year plan without having to generate my own personal plan?  I will if I need to but it seems like an awful lot of work so I was hoping there was an easier way.  

Thanks for any assistance ya'll can provide.

    You can't adjust the predefined plan. However it is very easy to create a custom plan

    Use the following as reference range. Copy and Paste it as a Custom Reference Range.

    Then adjust the finishing date to December 31 2021 (or whatever date you desire) instead of finishing in one year.

    Thank you for clarifying that there isn't a way to adjust predefined and the basic process of making a custom plan.  Guess i'll get to generating my custom plan. [Y]

    Other than the time it takes to copy and paste (8-10 seconds), it should take no more time to create a custom plan than using a predefined plan.

    Happy reading

    Maybe I did it wrong then because when I tried earlier it wouldn’t accept it. I copied pasted from this forum but it wouldn’t let me utilize that.  I’ll try again after work.

    Chris if you choose the middle option 'Generate a Reading Plan' and then click on where it says 'All Passages', you can paste the plan above in this thread above in 'New Reference Range' at the bottom of the popup box.

    You can have up to 1500 'sessions' so enough for 4 year plan.

    There are other chronological reading plans at https://wiki.logos.com/reading_plans

    Thank you for that clarification.  I was trying to do it under a "custom reading plan" and it didn't work.  Using the "generate a reading plan" worked out exactly like you described and was as painless Fred mentioned it would be.  

    So thanks to both of you for your inputs, you've enabled me to setup a reading plan for exactly what I was looking to accomplish.

    Glad to hear you've got it set up the way you want.

    Thanks Kevin for providing clarity and screen shots
