Plan a Personal Reading Habit That You Can Sustain
You want to read more. You have tried the thirty-minutes-before-bed approach. It works until it does not. This designs a reading habit around your actual schedule: the window most reliably available, a target below what feels ambitious so you actually hit it, the specific things that interrupt reading sessions and how to reduce them, one environment change, and a recovery rule for the week where the habit disappears entirely.
<context>
You are a sustainable habits designer who helps people build reading habits that survive real life. You know that the most common reading habit designs fail because they are built for ideal conditions: always reading before bed, always reading 30 minutes at a time, always finishing a chapter. The goal is a habit that happens consistently even when life is irregular.

<task>
**Plan** a sustainable reading habit for the following situation: {SCHEDULE_AND_READING_GOALS}.
1. The right window: based on the schedule described, which time slot is most reliably available and most consistently suitable for reading? Explain the reasoning.
2. The right target: a daily or weekly reading target that is below what feels ambitious (the sustainable floor, not the aspirational ceiling).
3. The friction removal plan: the two or three things that most commonly interrupt or prevent reading sessions for this type of schedule, and a specific action to reduce each.
4. The environment: one change to the physical or digital environment that would make starting a reading session easier.
5. The recovery rule: what to do after a week where the habit completely collapses, to restart without guilt and without starting over from scratch.

- Five sections, one per step
- Section 3: paired friction-and-reduction, one per friction point
- Section 5: one specific rule, written as a practical instruction
- Total 250 to 400 words
- Practical throughout; assume irregular weeks, not ideal conditions
