SUGG: Reading plan "catch up" feature.

Ok, I admit it. I create more reading plans than I have time for. As a result, my little blue ribbon is filled with icons with a red overlay crying out "Behind!" This leads me to either, just letting it go and getting further demotivated to read, or setting aside an entire day just to read the stuff I'm behind on, which burns me out.

I know that the real cure would be for me to stop creating reading plans. I can't. I won't. I have thousands of books and periodicals to read here people!

Now then my request:

Please oh please oh please Can we have a button or a right click menu or something on these reading plans that would not mess with the reading material but would only shift all of the dates up to today?

For instance one of my plans is 9 days behind. It's on Dec. 9 at page i in a book I want to read. I would love to right click it, select "adjust reading plan to current" and now it says Dec 18, Page i. Please? Oh please!

NOTE: This is not the same as "Catch up to today" which marks late dates as read, this is a "Adjust reading plan to today", only the dates are changed.

Mr Black, you are so clever. This is a an awesome idea. I have had my year long plan messed up more than once due to a serious disruption, only to find that my only option is to try to catch up or to just put up with the date being out of sync. Increase your post count by 10 for this great idea!

I'd like to add my support for this brilliant idea. I like reading plans too.

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one to get behind. I had to catch up almost 10 chapters of Hebrew last Sunday. Talk about burnout !! That'll learn me durn me -- don't get behind.

If this was implement, I would start using Reading Plans. I know I won't be able to keep to schedule, so it's pointless creating them.

For some reason George, I'm greatly heartened that you also fall behind in your reading.

Yes, I did; but I also fell behind again (Just try concentrating on reading Hebrew while watching a very active 3 yr old). I'm now nearly a week behind.

Actually this was a planned feature, but it never made it into the initial release. It's in the queue!

Peace to you, Scott! Thank you for sharing this! I am grateful to Logos more than I can ever say; and this is one more feature that I would appreciate very much. Looking forward to the future with Logos! *smile*

Yours in Christ,

That will be wonderful. When I got behind I had to edit the reading plan to rebuild from the last page I had read. When you implement Tom's suggestion, Reading Plans will become even more valuable. I really like this feature. If I don't have a plan and a checklist, I have great difficulty completing a book.
