Numbers: May 14, 2021

I am 10 days into my three-week long Star Wars reading marathon , and I couldn’t be happier with the amazing results, a total of 1,900 pages, and as last week, my overall numbers keep moving forward .

Now the update off my progress for the last week of reading.

My current total is 20,743 of the 37, 984 pages of this year’s goal, and with 24 days left on this year of reading I still have the goal of at least 25,000 pages when its over.

In neutral news, my reading schedule stayed exactly the same, 86 days behind , hopefully it will stay like this, preferably I can get the number down, by some miraculous event; but as long as it stays the same, more than happy.

The projections for total pages for the year sits at 23,058, that’s a 454 improvement from last week, this type of positive numbers are great motivators to take the final weeks and finish over that projection.

On the broader picture, my numbers show some signs of life, I keep chipping away days and pages to read.

The new date for reaching my first 500,000 pages, now down to 153,174 pages and improvement of 1,071 from last week, and the new date is December 18, 2026, a 1 day gain from last week, I’ll take any little step that gets me closer to the original end date of March 20, 2023, every day counts.

Now for the golden prize of 1,000,000 pages, to my delight the projections puts it 8,693 days away, a 28 day gain from last week, which would mean that the end date is March 2, 2045, and 5,019 days after the original plan, 21 days less.

To summary the numbers from my Journey Back, here are this week’s final numbers:

• Pages to reach 500,000: 153,174 pages (1,071 pages less than last week)
• Days to reach 1,000,000: 8,693 days (28 days less than last week)
• Days behind schedule: 5,019 days (21 days less than last week)

What concerns the next decade of reading, this week’s adjustment show a bit of improvement on my yearly average and my daily average stayed the same, they finish like this:

• Pages needed/year: 65,371 (108 pages less than last week)
• Pages needed/day: 179 (same as last week)

I’ll continue with reading some great adventures from one of my favorite universes, and hopefully next week will be as productive as this one

Off to read.
