I've been looking at the habits functionality, but it doesn't quite match what I want, and I'm looking for a little advice here. I'd like to: 1. Set myself a minimum of pages translated per day, on weekdays. 2. Record how many pages I do each day. 3. View some habit-style report of how I'm doing relative to my goal. 4. Project when I will be done with the novel at the current rate of progress.
I am assuming that the novel is available in plain text. Why not turn it into an org file. Divide it up into units, with each unit being a day's worth of translation. Make each unit a separate TODO with either a SCHEDULED or DEADLINE. The you can use the Agenda to see how far in front, or behind, you are.
