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.

It's official now. I'm going through a bit of a mental slump. Calling it a day quite early as I was anyways not getting anything done.
Completed 1.5 maths classes, parts of newspaper.
I hope, miraculously, that I wake up feeling better tomorrow. Need all the energy to have any chance of completing my targets.
@LetsGetThisBread Even i spent my day with a story book (travelogue). Such a breather!

I was there. Stuck in a rut for a long long time.
Just accept that you're going through something difficult and take a couple of days to do something that makes you happy. Even more if need be. You'll be fit and fresh for the days ahead. As long as you keep trying, things will eventually get better!
All the best :)
Had a decent day after a long while. The pace of target completion is slow, but I hope it improves as I pick up the rhythm. Have reverted back to my old school way of doing CA, I'm going to make notes and that will take more time. Taking longer to do something is better than not doing it at all.
Targets:
- Finish Complex Analysis PYQs
- Vision CA Feb
- Newspaper
So I did manage to study for a decent amount of hours, but the output wasn't that nice in terms of targets accomplished. Done with Complex Analysis PYQs apart from a couple of tough questions that I'm going to tackle tomorrow morning. CA took a lot of time and the portion covered wasn't a lot. Still, we'll keep on going. Someone wise said, "The dawn is always the darkest before sunrise" :P
Targets:
- Finish Complex Analysis PYQs
- Revise Mechanics & Fluid Dynamics Theory
- Newspaper
- Solve a prelims test paper
Was only able to revise half of the theory that I intended to finish, will still try to finish it tonight. I'm done with all the other targets for the day. I also did some Vision CA, but the pace remains slow. As always, hoping the rhythm continues and the productivity picks up!
Targets:
- Revise Fluid Dynamics Theory
- Mechanics & Fluid Dynamics PYQs (1/5)
- Prelims Mock Analysis (Finish tomorrow itself!)
- Vision CA Feb
- Newspaper

@calvinhobbes : thanks! I did come across his videos earlier but ignored, will give them a listen
@komarambheem3 : I did start with his videos! Only found 1 part of his Ancient History series. Decided to skip it and jumped to Medieval from today. Would do Art & Culture ones instead of Ancient History.
Good night everyone!

Thats all folks! I hope its a good day to get some bread for you and for me :)
Sooooo….. I didn’t do anything. I had a bit of a rough day, which led me to run away from real life by reading a trashy book that felt like watching a rom-com for 5 hours. Good news I finished it within one day and never have to subject myself to the atrocious plot. Bad news, I wasted an another day that i could have been studying. Today was not just a flip-the-table kind of day, it was flip-the-chair-and-everything-else-and-watch-it-burn-from-a-distance kind of day.
Have to ask: what did you read?
It was very on the nose and titled “The Unhoneymooners”
@LetsGetThisBread Even i spent my day with a story book (travelogue). Such a breather!
Oooh which one?
