Bible plans keep dying on week 3
I start strong then ghost my reading plan. Anyone got something simple that actually stuck for you?

If Leviticus keeps ending your Genesis streak, start with Mark. You're allowed an on-ramp. Milk then solid food (1 Corinthians 3:2) is a pace, not an insult.
Miss a day? Don't 'catch up' until you burn out. Just resume. Guilt catch-up killed more plans than laziness for me.
Pair with a friend: same chapter, weekly voice note. Hebrews 10:24 — stir one another up. Solo heroics faded; partnership stuck.
Put the plan where friction is low: printed sheet on the kettle, not an app buried under WhatsApp. Wisdom is practical (Proverbs 6:6-8 — even ants prepare).
Read aloud. Eyes skim; mouth slows you down. Revelation 1:3 blesses the one who reads aloud and hears.
I ditched 'Bible in a year' and did Luke for two months. Same Gospel, slow. John 5:39 — Scriptures testify about Jesus; I was collecting checkmarks instead of Christ.
One chapter. Two questions: What does this show about God? What's one small obedient step? I write two sentences and stop. Boring consistency beat my dramatic January plans. Psalm 119:105 — a lamp for the feet, not a floodlight for the whole year.
