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.

@Esperer I have finally settled with onlyias + drishti. Drishti is comprehensive and onlyias touches upon quite a few things prelim related. You can alternatively choose byjus. I used to do both at a time and for a few months only byjus. 
Additionally RSTV for most imp mains related topics of the week. This i do on weekends.
The reason I have decided to do this is to avoid reading magazine because I fall asleep on them always. It’s just not my thing. 
Moreover I make my own notes for prelims so that I don’t have to do double work with pt 365. I’ll have my own compilation. 
Similarly for mains I’ll just have to skim through the topics of mains 365.
My digital notes also provide an advantage of quick revisions and whenever and wherever I want.

@Esperer Well, I follow the same strategy. 

I personally choose hindu news analysis + forum 9pm daily brief + factly. Insights + vision also have nearly same content. In addition, I found byju's 'this day in history' section helpful. It is 1-2 pages at max, and strengthens modern india apart from spectrum (may help to tackle 2-3 prelims questions).

I don't make notes as such apart from occasional scribbling just to help remember. I found Vision monthly magazine helpful for revision.

Esperer,

Hi,

I got over excited and enrolled in 2 test series for prelims. Now I feel I won't be able to do justice to them. Does anyone want to purchase an InsightsIAS Prelims Test Series (38 tests) from me?

Hi everyone, I am new to the whole portal life but willing to give it a try since keeping up with targets completely is a big feat. Need some support here and would surely reciprocate the same.

16 Dec:

1- Optional 3 topics

2- CA Dipin Sir's class
