same here, i too prefer kaplan since bpp just freaks me out with unnecessary text and explanations.
since you are self-studying and would have saved on tuition cost, i would recommend that you get both books. Since you prefer kaplan, first complete the book and once you are done, move on to bpp and check if anything additional you need to know. this should work great i think since you will have the best of both worlds. just keep the bpp for reference.
As far as devising a timetable is concerned, sorry im pretty bad at this.. im one of those haphazard guys that are just whoh-hah when studying. i just cant keep up to a plan.
However, what you can do is that if you are committed, just think like you are taking classes but keep the hours longer. for instance, you can keep 3 days in a week for p1 and 4 days for p7. if you like you can also overlap. Make sure you atleast give a significant time every session and keep some milestones. keeping on meeting them and you should be fine.
Hope that helps,
