Day-by-Day Progress
How the 75-day reading tracker works
The tracker runs for 75 days on a grid that saves itself in your browser. Each day you check off three simple tasks and move on. No sign-up, no app install, no account.
- Read 10 pages of a non-fiction or educational book.
- Log the book and the page you stopped on so tomorrow you know exactly where to pick up.
- Put the phone in another room for those 10 minutes.
This one runs in forgiving mode, which means a missed day does not wipe your progress. You just keep going. If you want a stricter version that restarts on a miss, try the 75 Tough Tracker. If you want to pick a start date and see exactly when you will finish, the 75-day challenge calculator maps it out.
Why 10 pages a day is the sweet spot
Ten pages a day feels almost too easy, and that is the point. At 10 pages a day, 75 days gets you to 750 pages, which is roughly two or three non-fiction books. Stretch that across a full year and you are looking at about 3,650 pages, or somewhere between 12 and 15 books.
Small daily targets beat big annual ones because of momentum. "Read 20 books this year" gives you 365 chances to fall behind. "Read 10 pages today" resets every morning. James Clear says it in Atomic Habits, Andy Frisella says it in 75 Hard: tiny, daily, non-negotiable actions stack into something big.
Tips for hitting 10 pages, every single day
Sticking with a 75-day reading challenge is a design problem more than a willpower problem. The people who actually finish tend to do the same handful of things.
- Read at the same time every day. Stack it onto something you already do: first coffee, lunch break, right before bed.
- Keep the book visible. Nightstand, kitchen counter, work bag. Out of sight, out of mind.
- Phone in another room. One notification and 10 focused minutes is gone. The fix is distance, not discipline.
- Do not hop between titles. Finish one book before you start the next. Unfinished books kill the habit faster than anything.
- Pick a book you actually want to read. The impressive-looking book you dread is the reason most reading challenges die in week two.
What to read: picking books for a 75-day reading habit
The original 75 Hard rule calls for non-fiction: self-help, business, psychology, biography, history. That is a solid default if you want the habit to double as personal development time. But if you are mostly trying to rebuild a reading habit, fiction counts just as much. A book you will finish beats a book that looks good on a shelf, every time.
A practical starter stack: one short book (under 200 pages) to get an early win, one medium book you have been meaning to read, and one longer book you can roll into the next challenge. At 10 pages a day, you will clear two or three of those during the 75 days.
When you are ready to stack reading with the rest of your routine (workouts, water, journaling, progress photos), the Reset75 app handles the full 75-day plan in one place.
Frequently asked questions
How many pages should I read per day?
Ten pages is the number most habit coaches land on, and for good reason. It is long enough that you feel like you actually read, and short enough that you will not talk yourself out of it on a bad day. Ten pages a day is about 300 pages a month, or 12 to 15 books a year.
Does this have to be 10 pages, or can I pick my own goal?
Ten is the default because 75 Hard made it famous and because most habit writers agree it hits the consistency sweet spot. If you want a different number, the Reset75 app lets you rewrite the daily task and build your own 75-day plan.
Do audiobooks count?
Depends on which challenge you are doing. In 75 Hard (created by Andy Frisella), audiobooks do not count: it has to be physical books or an e-reader. In the 75 Booked trend, audiobooks are fair game. For this tracker, your call. If you are chasing focus and comprehension, stick to text. If you just want to read more, audiobooks work fine.
What if I miss a day?
Nothing bad happens. This tracker runs in forgiving mode: missed days stay marked on the grid, and you keep going. The goal is 75 reading days, not a flawless streak. If you want something stricter that restarts on a miss, the 75 Tough Tracker is built for that.
Can I read the same book for all 75 days?
Yes. In fact, the 75 Hard rule says you should finish one book before starting the next, no jumping around. If a book takes you longer than 75 days at 10 pages a day (that is 750 pages), you are still building the habit. Most non-fiction books land somewhere around 200 to 300 pages, so you will probably get through 2 or 3 during the challenge.
What books should I read?
Non-fiction and educational books are the classic 75 Hard pick: self-help, business, psychology, biography, history, anything that teaches you something. Fiction is fine too if you just want the habit back. Pick books you will actually finish over books that look good on a shelf.
How long does reading 10 pages take?
Most people take 10 to 15 minutes for 10 pages of non-fiction. That is less than a single scrolling session. If you are rusty, give yourself 20 minutes at first. Speed comes back with practice.
Is my progress saved?
Yes. Your progress lives in your browser's local storage, so as long as you use the same browser and device, it is all there. No account needed. If you want sync across devices, progress photos, and proper book logging, grab the Reset75 app.
