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.

TARGETS MISSED TODAY. 

Learning-- Stay away from screens. All was going good until I started to watch Youtube videos during break time for "relaxation". Bas fir to jo gaadi utri hai patri par see. Waaah!

Aaj to yaha bhi yhi hua 😅😅

Completed all the targets except GS-2 portion would try to cover it tomorrow 

Anyways comrades keep moving as said by Nida Fazli Sahab-

सफ़रमेंधूपतोहोगीजोचलसकोतोचलो

सभीहैंभीड़मेंतुमभीनिकलसकोतोचलो

किसीकेवास्तेराहेंकहाँबदलतीहैं

तुमअपनेआपकोख़ुदहीबदलसकोतोचलो

यहाँकिसीकोकोईरास्तानहींदेता

मुझेगिराकेअगरतुमसँभलसकोतोचलो

कहींनहींकोईसूरजधुआँधुआँहैफ़ज़ा

ख़ुदअपनेआपसेबाहरनिकलसकोतोचलो

यहीहैज़िंदगीकुछख़्वाबचंदउम्मीदें

इन्हींखिलौनोंसेतुमभीबहलसकोतोचलो

How are people completing 100% of the day's targets? Like how many hours one is devoting?

Good morning peeps!

18.6.21

PSIR- Financial organisations

Ethics

Daily C/A

Editorial- IE+ Hindu

AWP

Writing with right hand

Its great to know that its a Friday already, not that it means anything for us, but here’s me clinging to the vestiges of normalcy and celebrating mentally as part of the “one foot forward at a time” plan. Here we goooooo *spongebob theme song intensifies*

Hello friends, got nothing much done besides my C/A, editorial and ethics portions. In more exciting news, I have no regrets because I attended a webinar which hosted the Foreign Secretary (didn’t get much output, but full feel aaya) and went out for a safe dinner for the very first time after lockdown was announced last year. Changing out of my uniform of pocha laayak boxers and T-shirt felt so surreal. Never has butter chicken and chilli potato tasted so exquisite. Came back and did remainder of Sept C/A and now off to bed.

Tomorrow will be a butter, I mean, better day. And for the mallus here, pote-to (to pun is to life)

I rarely try to overachieve, because I tried that, and realised that it made me even more unproductive. So I usually only decide portions that can be realistically done in one day. Any extra time is then divided between rest and other study things that I can add-on to make me feel better.

I can totally feel your happiness coming out the screen & making me happier too. :D

Thanks! Butter chicken tends to have that effect on people. But I also realised just how conscious I felt dining outside the safe cocoon of my house. Never have I been so aware of my posture, or people looking at me as an object of wonder (though that could have been partly due to the fact that my hair is still growing out past the short crop/ stubble stage) as I was today.

managed to pull an almost all nighter yesterday. But got pending things done and I am super satisfied. 

Things to do today -

Sociology - Finish the slot

Sociology chal raha hai. Will probably take an hour or so.

Working on just one topic in a day makes me much more efficient. 

Was very excited for WTC but welp! Goodnight all you beautiful people
