Throughout the Bible, God's people often followed a plan, or disegno in Italian, (as mentioned in Part 1), to accomplish something for His Kingdom. Whether a one-time project or a regular activity, it helps to know what has to be done and when, in order to accomplish your goal.
So here in
Acts 20:7 we see the disciples coming together to break bread. And the Bible
says that it was the first day (il giorno),
of their week (la settimana). It sounds
like they did this every week, and on the first day of every week.

From the Italian Bible blog you'll find a special setup for a 52 week plan,
that requires reading just 1 chapter a day,
for just 5 days per week. Each day's
reading should take about 15 or 20 minutes. This is how you'll be able to read
the entire New Testament in one year. I think it's pretty amazing how reading
the New Testament in a year fits into such a neat schedule. It's almost as if
we were meant to read this way.
For
example, here's the daily schedule for the first week of this journey:

convenient).
