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.

Okay. So I am very guilty today. Yesterday because I wanted to cook my favourite dish (One of my favrt fish) Chilli Paneer, I cooked , I ate and then I wasted some time, because of which my sleep cycle was totally messed up. Like totally messed up. I was studying and then there was body pain and then something else as well. So i just slept yesterday had a good 7 hr sleep.

Studied for some 3 hrs yesterday. I know this doesn't make sense but it did happen. 

Anyways I will come back here again till 5 PM today and update on what is done. Adios amigos.

Couldn't do much. I was equally sad today and the pain was still there. I couldn't gather myself up to do things again.

I think this happens to me when I waste one day, I see my another day getting wasted due to the earlier one. But as I set a target to complete by 5, now that time is over, I see starting another day from now on. 

And for those who don't get it, I study at odd hours, I am a night owl :D

Target:

Repeat the earlier day. 

@LetsGetThisBread You have been becoming this mapping ka teacher for all of us :P

Didn’t do much besides the three targets on top. Wanted to continue for longer but have a really bad migraine that has derailed my entire day. Hopefully by tomorrow it will disappear, so it’s not a repeat of today. Today the migraine gods have blessed me instead.

@sstarrr lol I’m still at the stage where I need a teacher myself 😅

Done with economics and Economics PT ( not a good day)

A Nazm by Hafiz Jalandhari ji -

जागो  सोने  वालो  जागो 

वक़्त  के  खोने  वालो  जागो 

बाग़  में  चिड़ियाँ  बोल  रही हैं 

कलियाँ  आँखें  खोल  रही हैं 

फूल  ख़ुशी  से  झूम  रहे हैं 

पत्तों  का  मुँह  चूम  रहे हैं 

जाग  उठे  दरिया  और  नहरें 

जाग  उठीं  मौजें  और  लहरें 

नाव  चलाने  वाले  जागे 

पार  लगाने  वाले  जागे 

सारी  दुनिया  जाग  रही है 

काम  की  जानिब  भाग  रही है 

लिखने  पढ़ने  वालो  जागो 

फूलने  बढ़ने  वालो  जागो 

मुँह  धो-धा  कर  नाश्ता  खाओ 

बस्ता  ले  कर  मदरसे  जाओ 

सुब्ह  का  सोना  ख़ूब  नहीं है 

अच्छा  ये  उस्लूब  नहीं है 

जागो  सोने  वालो  जागो 

वक़्त  के  खोने  वालो  जागो 


Signing off for the day
