No, I can't. It's not definable. To your point of ensuring there is a timeline - need to define what a "little plan" means. I think it's just what Trimpey suggests. Pick some finite point (when I finish the book the second time, one week from today, once I've been sober 4 days in a row, something...) and then before that time is up, decide.
