Name three non-negotiables for the week: one timed block, one review block, and one skill block (could be games, RC structure, or LR flaw recognition). Put them on the calendar like appointments. Everything else is optional padding you can steal from if a day goes sideways.
The timed block should be long enough to feel like a section but not so long that you skip review afterward. Many students land near 35–45 minutes of timed work plus 20–30 minutes of immediate review the same day.
The review block is where mistakes become rules. You are not re-solving every question—you are re-reading the handful that still feel fuzzy and updating a one-page “rules I keep forgetting” list.
The skill block is where you learn something new on purpose: a technique video, a set of untimed stems, or a short reading passage with questions you have never seen. Keep it bounded so it cannot swallow the whole week.
If you miss a block, shrink rather than zero out: ten minutes of review beats a guilt spiral. Consistency is the variable that compounds; intensity is optional seasoning.
