CSE 2021: Plan / Strategy / Daily Routine
Hello 2021 aspirants. I thought it would be nice if we can share what we are doing and intend to do with one another here.
This could be a thread for discussing everything prep for 2021.
No one method fits all but to see the plans and progress made by fellow aspirants might help with the finer details of preparation and also keep one on track.

Faltered badly from my target. Need to remember Umberto Eco’s ‘fill the interstices’ idea, shouldn’t have wasted too much time in breaks.
Could put only 7 hours and missed on my target to complete polity. Will try to finish it today.

Any suggestions ???
mightyraju,
Yummy! Nothing more gives that satisfying dopamine rush than striking down those targets written on the chit pad. Felt that 2018-esque thing. Wasn't able to do Locke but rest done almost everything.
Day 14(9th August)
Till 9:30- Complete Locke
Between 9:30 and 1:30- GS
1:30- 7:30- College Classes
8:30- 9:30- Newspaper
9:30- 10:30- CA
10:30-11:30- Mains related CA
@THE_MECHANIC Dhayaan rakho apna bhai.
Shubh Ratri doston!
Good Good!Done all except the last target. What makes me to gush is not the quantity but rather the quality of study hours in the past 2 days. The focus has been good and I hope it continues(will force it to continue anyway) this way around.
Day 15 (10th August)
6:30-9:30- Rousseau(I had written his spelling as 'Rosseau' till now.lol PSIR)+ Bentham+ Mill(Uphill task but I have to do this)
9:30-1:30- GS portion
1:30-7:30- Classes
8:30-9:30- Newspaper
9:30-11:30- CA+ Today's last target
@sjerngal Btaiye @Freakhoto ko ki Jammu is +- 1-2 degree celsius vis a vis Delhi in most parts of the plain. Btw, we had blizzard in our part of Jammu(Bad joke,I know)
Shubh Ratri doston!!
Not the way I wanted to proceed. Did only Rousseau, missed Mills and Bentham bhaiya. Also wasn't able to do the GS wala part. I went awry during the day, but I was able to shift the momentum back in the later parts.Will do well tomorrow at all costs.
Day 15(11th August)-
6:30-9:30- Bentham,Mills
9:30-1:30- GS Portions
Till 7:30- Classes
Till 11:30- CA, Newspaper,Mains Notes
Shubh Ratri doston!
Did most except for some portions of GS related commitments(owing to the fact that I got up at around 6:30 instead of intended 5:30 and had to chase the targets).Still quite satisfied. Will read the paper now and doze off.
*Also taking a day off to pander to some other commitments. Will update tomorrow night now.
@Newton981 What you said makes a lot of sense.
Shubh Ratri doston!
Good morning guys! Targets for 11.8.21:
test
analysis
ancient india
nov 2020 c/a
csat
daily c/a
editorial- ie+ hindu
That’s it for today. Keeping it slightly light because of my headache. Let’s get this bread!!!!
Done mostly, except for ancient India which I only finished half. My head ache got too bad so off to sleep. Good night guys. We got that good good bread…
Good morning guys. So I had a break yesterday. Hopefully it will be the last full day break before prelims now.
Exactly 60 days left for the D-day.Targets for 11/8/21
- Modern history revise till Partition of Bengal
- April ca 50 MCQs
- January 2021 ca
- Plan the next 60 days
Keeping targets less because I know it takes time to revise....
Good luck guys
Don't know what exactly am I doing wrong. But revising history is taking so much longer than I expected.
Anyway, its better than not studying anything at all.
Off to bed now. Goodnight guys !!
