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.

Not quite the ideal day, but as long as I keep moving ahead it will eventually get better! Skipped a study session and that led to no progress on society VAM today. 

Things done: 

  • Modern Algebra PYQs finished (Yay!) 
  • Newspaper 


Targets: 

  • Cover up all loose ends on the Modern Algebra chapter to finish it off
  • Revise Real Analysis 
  • Society VAM - First Reading (100 Pages) 
  • Newspaper 



Here's another tidbit from something I wrote a while back. Think this might help few people, we've all been there! 

"Uncertainty in life is nothing nice 

But to be a star you’ve got to leave the vice 

To turn dreams into reality comes at a price 

Fighting day & night is the only way to escape the dice "

WTC finals made me pretend to study for hours with Hotstar on, but the producticy was low. Too bad we lost, but good that it is over. Now back to the subjects! 


Things done: 

  • Modern Algebra - done & dusted! 
  • Society VAM - 75 pages 
  • Newspaper 


Targets: 

  • Revise Real Analysis theory 
  • Finish Society VAM - First Reading (A man can hope :P)
  • Newspaper


All the best with your targets, good people of Forum :)

Had a bad day today. Did a few things here and there but couldn't focus. Then I just shifted focus to binging on Netflix.


Same targets for tomorrow!

Such a bad day, woke up went for vaccination only to find out that on site registration was not working,got irritated with the carelessness of people there, having suffered from covid recently can't see ignorance ironically I caught it sitting in my room out of nowhere wasting entire may,yet being alive is fun

Anyway tried all day to book slot , Lucknow is difficult got it around 11 pm finally.

Evening was gone talking to a friend about his corporate life struggles and the pain of not being able to fit in.

LET THE BREAD BE GOT!

Friends, I have managed to get absolutely nothing done today, except the newspaper. I have had zero willpower to do anything today. I’m just going to count today as a personal day and come back strong tomorrow. No excuses.

Today I haven’t been a bread girl, I have been a bed girl…. As in a “stay-in-bed-and-consume-unhealthy-volumes-of-the-internet” girl.

Everyone has bed days, but I'm sure tomorrow will be butter :)

Of course, it will be a jam-packed day. Hehe

Pote-to. :)

Aalu will be well soon :)

This morning, I fought with my demons and I won so magnificently. :)

The demons live to fight another day, but I'm more and more formidable with every passing moment that I continue fighting them. It's a never ending battle, but I feel truly ready again. It's liberating. I feel goosebumps hosting a carnival in my heart, just thinking about my battle to assume control. I owe it to the people who love me, I owe to you all, and most of all, I owe it to myself.

Paulo Coelho  said that "When you truly want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."  Not for me though. I must conspire against the universe just to find that thing I truly want. This struggle is intensely personal for me, and it is in the struggle that I find my power. The true fruit of my labour is not the result, but how an honest day's struggle makes me feel.

The power of human will is incredible, my friends. I hope you all manage to control your hour, your day. I see infinite beauty in you all. :)

#Studyhack - When revising anything, do not start passive reading of entire text. Recall all that you know & read what you forgot.

Ohh.. these lines are said by Paulo Cohelo, I thought it was an original dialogue of SRK from Om shanti Om :p

I don't know if it's too early or too silly to ask this, but how are you guys planning to revise the whole of Laxmikanth just before prelims?

The whole of Laxmikant isn’t important. Few conceptual chapters like FR, Executive, Legislature etc are only imp. Having short notes really helps as well. I’ve managed to do multiple “complete” revisions of Laxmikant the month before the prelims this way

I made questions for myself while reading the book. Also made one page spider diagrams of each chapter.. 
My revision includes just answering the questions that I had made and going through the spider diagram and then solving the mocks. 
The point is try to make crisp notes for urself .
