Hi Mike/Magoosh team,
Though Magoosh's 3 month study schedule is great it is very extensive. Extensive not in the case of syllabus, but the schedule itself is extensive. Somehow it creates a great confusion in me when I try to see what I need to cover in a week. One needs to scroll down all the weeks one has covered before before coming to the current week's schedule. And there is no way to highlight on the webpage (or is there a way?). Mike, can you please suggest some efficient ways your students or your team might have developed over the years to keep a tab on what I have finished till date using your schedule. Something which I can always keep by my side.
P.S : I can print all the schedule on a paper (but I'm a moderate environmentalist, kinda adds some guilt while printing), but wanted to know if anyone has ever prepared an excel sheet or something in similar to mark the progress.
P.P.S : I'm a magoosh premium member, I know you would reply when I PM you (you're awesome!). I felt posting here would be beneficial for other aspirants who have the same trouble.

Dear vinrar,
I'm happy to respond.
My friend, you have a panoply of options at your disposal. Here are two. Option One
I will assume that you are running Microsoft Word or some similar word processing program on you computer.
1) Open the Magoosh Study Schedule Web Page.
2) Open six blank word processing documents.
3) Copy whatever info at the top of the schedule that you think is relevant, information to which you are likely to refer, from the webpage, and paste in into each word doc. You could paste a big chunk of this introductory material into one doc, delete all the information that you know you will not need to view repeatedly, and then copy this condensed version and paste it into the other five word documents.
4) Copy the schedule from Weeks 1-2 into the first word doc. Save it, then close it. Then, Weeks 3-4 into the second, save, close. Repeat, until Weeks 11-12 get saved into the last word document.
It should take 10-15 minutes to create these word documents, and unlike studying, that's a relatively low-focus activity.
Now, the schedule is broken into manageable two-week segments. If I am working on, say, Week Four, Day Three, I can go to the word processing doc for just Weeks 3-4. Furthermore, use color!! You can change all the days already completed to a light gray font. Furthermore, use changing the day to light gray as a way to check it off --- the info from previous days is still there if you need it, but when you open the doc, you can just scroll through all the gray days until you get to the current day which is still in black font. When the whole doc is light gray, you are ready for the next doc.
Some folks like making done stuff light gray. Others like making it red or some other color. Some folks also like working with font. You could make the whole document a relatively small font, say 10 point, and just have the day you are doing at 14 point. When you are done with this day, make the completed day 10 point, and make the next day 14 point. When you open the doc the next day, you simply have to scroll through until you see the big font. Experiment. Some people like working with just color, others with just font size, and others with both. It depends on how your brain processes information.
Option Two
Whatever web browser you are running has a "find" function. Typically this is Command-F (or Apple-F on a Mac). That command calls up a search window. You will notice that I was extremely regular in my naming convention for the days. If you are up to Day 4 of Week 7, all you have to do is type this into "find" using the same convention I use. Thus, you would search for "Week Seven, Day Four." The browser will take you right there. You never need to scroll.
Of course, that would require that you know, each day, where you are in the schedule, but you could jot that information on a piece of paper by your computer to remind you. If you always do Days 1-5 each week on the five weekdays, that makes it very easy to know what day you are on, and all you need to remember is the week, which you could track on a typical wall calendar, if you own such a thing.
Those strike me as two relatively easy options that involve very little technical knowledge and very little time and effort. Does all this make sense?
Mike
