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.

I have so many left overs from so many things that i started and then left that it's distracting me from the tasks at hand. I'm just constantly flitting back and forth between everything worrying about whether I have made an optimal plan. It's a soup of optional, mains AND prelims leftovers. I think I should tie up atleast some of these tasks. Tomorrow is History day. I'm using the time from 18-25th for the loose ends business.
On another note, i think having a starting time target is working out way better than having a winding up time target. I used to waste a lot of time pre lunch and then stressfully rush through things in the evening.
Good night forum friends!

@whatonly Hola. Bestest of Luck.
Also,was able to do some cricket bowling warm up after so long. Felt like being a Right Arm Slow Medium Pacer once again. During my UG days, always used to ensure that the opposition team wins. I hope the colleges reopen and I am able to fulfil the long cherished goal of getting hit for 6 sixes in a over.
Good Night doston .
13/7/21 (Day 9 of 42)
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.
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 :)
Thank you! Took your advice. I'm already feeling much more fresh and lively.
16/7/21
Completed 2 maths classes, half a CA class, Newspaper, + some CA topics for Mains.
@Rashmirathi are kaha rh gye bhai
Didn't have a good day. Did fine in the first half but then the amazing weather distracted me away from studying. After loitering around Youtube and Netflix, went back to reading a book I'd been stuck on since a while. So maybe it wasn't that bad after all. Tomorrow needs to be better!
Targets:
- Mechanics & Fluid Dynamics PYQs (2/5)
- Prelims Mock Analysis (Finish tomorrow itself!)
- Vision CA Feb
- Newspaper
Just one of those days when you know you're not in the zone, you try for a while and then just distract yourself to get rid of the frustration. Let us see how tomorrow goes.
Targets:
- Mechanics & Fluid Dynamics PYQs (3/5)
- Prelims Mock Analysis (Finish tomorrow itself!)
- Give a Prelims Test (if Mock analysis gets done)
- Vision CA Feb (Try to finish)
- Newspaper
Managed to sit for a long number of hours irrespective of the productivity. Today was better than yesterday and yet, miles to go still! I finally completed the mock test analysis and that made up for the slow pace in the other subjects. Will give the test tomorrow.
Targets:
- Mechanics & Fluid Dynamics PYQs (4/5)
- Give a Prelims Test
- Vision CA Feb (Finish!)
- Newspaper
All the best to you for your targets, lovely people of Forum!
