Maybe it would help. What if you had something like this: * Read :LOGBOOK: - Note taken on [2014-10-20 Mon 10:33] \\ 151-300 - Note taken on [2014-10-20 Mon 10:32] \\ 1-150 :END: :PROPERTIES: :STYLE: habit :END: I do this sometimes for things like this. The heading doesn't need to change as it can just be a reminder to read and you can keep track of what you've read in the notes with C-c C-z. Optionally, if you have multiple books and you're reading different amounts of each one each day, you can just write how much you plan to read under the heading for each one, e.g. * Read 100 pages each day * Read 50 pages each day
