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.

Today went better than yesterday, although I did still feel sleepy in the morning. Need to keep working on the sleep cycle and improve focus. Now the goal is to solve enough questions to feel comfortable in modern algebra and kickstart GS mains topics again soon! 


Things done:

  • Modern Algebra Theory 
  • Modern Algebra PYQs (1/3)
  • Ethics Answer Writing - 2020 case studies are just weird!
  • Newspaper 


Targets: 

  • Modern Algebra PYQs (2/3)
  • Ethics Answer Writing 
  • Newspaper


Will start counting hours again after almost 2 months to maintain discipline and ensure continuous progress. Onwards & upwards :D

The weekend fever caught up with me and that led me to do almost nothing in the second half except catching up with friends. Will lead to some delay but I'm fine with it. 


Things done: 

  • Modern Algebra PYQs (2/4) 
  • Newspaper 
  • Revision of Forests in India (Yes, answer writing didn't happen and I wanted to tick off one more item on my list so :P)


Targets:

  • Modern Algebra PYQs (3/4) 
  • Ethics Answer Writing 
  • Newspaper 
  • Essay (Might write it if I'm bored!)


In other news: I shared my poetry with friends and got honest feedback, so yay Saturday!

There is something that has been bothering me for a while & I think I should put it down in words. 


I’ve been abysmally low for the last few days. Some personal messages on this forum that were trying to ‘help’ me triggered this bout of sadness. 


I tried to be as honest with myself as I could when I was judging my day’s work. This seems to have given some people the idea that they too can be honest with me about their observations about me. I have complete information about myself. You don’t. You’ve no idea about all the shit I’ve been through. You’ve no idea how long I’ve been in this game. You’ve no idea that sometimes in life, you just can’t help but wait for things to get better. So, however good-intentioned your advice & suggestions & observations are, you are tone-deaf and you’ve ended up hurting me deeply. I can defend myself on most of the criticisms (some of them might have been correct too & totally valid) but I won’t. I was here for my own good. 


I don’t know if I’ll continue to post here. If I do start posting, just remember my inbox isn’t open to strangers. 


All the people on this thread, you all have been amazing. 

Mate, you do you. Everything else is just background noise. :)

Hey!

I know how bad one can feel when people  try to give you unsolicited advices even if their intentions are good. But please don't take such decision of posting/ not posting daily schedule just based on such incidences. Look at the brighter side.

This thread has literally weaved us together where we post our targets and accomplishments, eagerly wait for others' comments in the evening ( atleast I do) and assess our day. It gives this feeling of oneness that we all are in this together :)

So for the good and amazing people (as you yourself given this title to us :p) continue posting, friend!

The target for Today-

Plan for future targets and start daily uploading them, for a  week. 

USPC CSE 2021----->119 days to go. 

The majority of the targets were achieved.

And so, the week of my daily uploading here ends. I was not able to study regularly prior and this thread came to the rescue. A big thanks to everyone out here for pushing me to work harder!

This thread and the one mentioning successful candidates in Prelims 2021 thread will show a huge overlap, ye to pakka hai. More power to everyone!

Will post targets here again if my daily prep goes astray! :)

Hi friends, it’s a new dawn so let’s get going,

20.6.21

Ethics

PSIR- EU+ nuclear proliferation 

CSAT 

AWP

Daily C/A

Write with right hand

Kaafi lag raha hain for today. Keeping with tradition, “let’s get this bread”.


Haven’t managed to complete my targets besides ethics and daily C/A. Did 60% of my PSIR targets but did neither AWP or CSAT. I know I have time before I sleep, but sach me mann nahi kar raha yaaron. I’ve been lulled into a sweet Nutella induced sugar coma thanks to the actual bread my mother baked aaj and I just want to potate for a little while before I actually go to bed. Tomorrow will be a better day.

What I did today 

  • Revised ethics and wrote 3case studies+3Q 

Someone came home and continuous yawns during the whole day didn't make me do anything else. It's fine, writing 90marks worth of answers made me felt good. That somewhat made me complacent too lol. 



20-06-2021 

  • Ethics revision 
  • Ethics AWP - 3 case studies+9Q 
  • Thermo- complete till statistical 



Random motivational shiz from a friend today : 

Hagg ke hi toh sikhhenge. Ekdum se Tansen thodi ban jayega



Let me know if this word is inappropriate here, wasn't recognisable with an asterisk.


 

Lololol, what a fail! XD 

I decided to skip ethics for few weeks now. Will pick it up for July last week. Planning on giving vision mains test tomorrow. Thus revised eco today. 


21-06-2021

  • Vision test
  • Carry over of 20/06=>thermo till stats
