One of the most well-rounded approaches to "programmed learning" is the Hoq l'Yisrael. It includes selections from Tanach, Mishnah, Talmud and Zohar.
It already has been enhanced once, yosef or yusaf l'Hoq was already added to include a piece of Halachah and Mussar on a daily basis.
What else could be missing?
The first thing I would add is a companion volume to complete the Mishnah. The Hoq already covers approximately 300 chapters of Mishnah in the course of doing 6 chapters per weekly "Sidrah."
My edition has a table of the missing pieces in my edition, telling the reader WHAT to finish
My proposed enhancement is simply to publish a companion volume with those missimg Mishnayot with the very same commentaries and layout. They could be covered after completing the sefer or during Shabbat and Yamim Tovim.
Shalom,

I did Choq for two cycles.
One easy change -- one alyah per day, rather than a number of pesuqim based on the gematria of letters in Hashem's name. 4 pesuqim one day, 6 another, and most of the parashah over Shabbos leaves too much for Shabbos.
The sections in Choq are divided for Qabbalah reasons. There is no contiguity of study. Sunday's mishnah is from Zera'im, Monday's from Mo'eid. The gemara is a selection, usually aggadita, from all over the place. It means you don't actually finish anything or get a full picture of what you're studying. Even if you fill in the missing pieces, simply because you're not going in order start to finish.
