long-term plans

[hatam_soferet]

The Daf-Yomi cycle is a plan whereby you study a page of gemara every single day, using the fact that squillions of other people are doing the same thing to keep you going. It's a fairly popular institution in the circles I'm in at present - all the Cool Kids are doing it. Well, the new cycle is starting tomorrow, which is an auspicious time to join the herd.

It takes about seven years to complete the cycle and read through the whole of the gemara at that rate. I could have children by then. That's scary.
