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.

@LetsGetThisBread @sjerngal Thank you both for replying!
You're right. Seeing tangible progress is the goal, yes.
Browsing through this thread today has actually motivated me for trying out accountability here. I hope this works for me too!
All those consistently posting daily, you guys silently inspire many of us, good luck everyone!
So I thought that being away from Forum and this thread may reinvigorate the animal spirits but alas!I have struggled to put in decent amount of hours on a regular basis starting this July. I need to pick up again and the amount of zeal that I see on this thread is tremendous.
So the targets for 4th August 2021(Day 10)
Between 7 and 10- Complete Machiavelli
Between 10-2- GS 2
Between 3- 9- GS Notes
Between 9-11- PYQs of PSIR
11-11:45- Newspaper.
Hi friends late start to the day, because I just came back from getting second dose of covishield. No targets really for today, besides just doing things with my fingers crossed that I don’t get a reaction for this dose as well 🤞🏻
Managed to do quite a lot considering I had no real targets set. Finished most of what was planned for economy as well as my C/A recall, didn’t get time for PSIR. A new day is right around the corner.
I did the YPT study room and it felt quite good. Seeing a timer in front of my eyes count down the seconds really made me want to make the best of my study time, wasted no time while studying. I’m usually quite good with not letting competition get to me, but let’s see how long we can keep this up. Good night friends :)
3/8/21
Time studied ->7 hours 25 minutes
Fluids and Mechanics revision + PYQs ->done 80% of targets
Environment Red Book revision ->done 75% of target
CA Revision ->done 60%
Newspaper ->done
I had set really ambitious targets today to help me push more than usual. They turned out to be a bit out of reach. Also, I played football in the evening instead of the usual jog. This meant I was more tired than usual so my post 7pm sessions weren't too productive.
Nevertheless, this was a good day. I did more than I usually do.

Bhai mujhe lga mere liye meme bheja h :XD
I am back again here. I do not know why I am so keen to take so many breaks from forum. I think when I am not able to complete my targets, I feel sickening to face you guys who do amazing work and hence don't post. But let me just own it. I have been unable to do justice to studies because I have been too much focused on Olympics, the mood swings which comes up with winning and loosing etc .
My sleeping schedule was all distorted and all of things happened.
But I am here again. And don't intend to go anytime soon.
I am still stuck at PT 365's only. Because I didn't study. So much is left.
Today's targets :
1. International reln PT revision
2. Eco PT revision
3. Env PT revision
4. CSAT
5. Book
Bas. Bahut hai Aaj ke liye.
