Reading a few pages every day can be a workable plan until the page count cuts a complicated argument in half. The next session begins with rereading to recover the meaning.
Use a chapter, subsection or natural pause where that fits the book. Keep the available time in mind and choose a modest stopping point. You can adjust it if the material needs more attention than you expected.
Leave one useful note
Record a question or an idea you want to return to. A brief note can help you reconnect with the text without turning leisure reading into an assignment. For practical material, choose an example you might try when the relevant situation occurs.
If the book does not suit your purpose, consider another one instead of treating completion as an obligation. You can also pause it for a time when the subject matters more. Keep the reading practice connected to what you enjoy or need to understand, and let the session's length serve that purpose.
