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.

To people who are using Environment Red Book as primary source, did you find it adequate?
In my previous attempts, I've relied on just my class notes + current affairs for environment portion.. And that has been enough. Red Book has thrice the coverage that my notes had so it definitely feels more than adequate as your primary/only source along with current affairs.
There are some concerns/conditions though:
1) This has a high density of facts. So even though it looks small, this will take a good amount of time to do. (for me it took 1 week to read, then 1 week for 1st revision and 3 days for 2nd revision. I'll still do 2 more revisions - of 1 day each - before prelims)
2)A lot of facts that were part of the past few years current affairs are arranged thematically in the Red Book. If you're a beginner, you may be overwhelmed by all the facts but if you're a veteran, this will feel quite familiar and doable.
Baaki a decent number of PYQs can be solved directly from the Red Book so I feel this would be enough (atleast for the easier questions).

@LetsGetThisBread take care buddy. If the pain persists, don't push yourself. Just relax for sometime. I have done this mistake of ignoring migraine pain in the past but it has always resulted in wastage of 2-3 days.

Life update:
I am so happy today. There was a very serious issue that had propped up in my life back in April 2021. While the world was dealing with the 2nd wave of covid, I had my own demons to fight, something which had completely taken me off the track from UPSC preparation. Luckily UPSC postponed the paper or else, I would have been preparing for 2022 instead.
I am so glad that today I was able to resolve the issue for once and for all. It gives me immense satisfaction that I would not have to go through those bouts of anxiety anymore. This is an achievement in itself. It had consumed a lot of my time over the past few months and even consumed half of my day today.. But nevertheless, I am happy for the fact that the issue will never ever bother me again. Now I have nothing else to worry about except UPSC :)
P.S: Not talking about relationships and stuff..
P.S : Sorry for this extremely random message. I was just too glad and wanted to share it with others. At this moment, I just have virtual friends in the form of you all :)
Let me get back to my books now !!
