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.

Good morning guys! Targets for 13.8.21 are:
Copy writing
medieval India
test revisions
csat
dec 2020 c/a
ancient india
daily c/a
editorial- ie+ hindu
Thats all guys! Let’s rock and (bread) roll folks!
Which sectional tests are you using for prelims?
I’m doing the forum this time, along with Vajiram. I’ve been doing the Vajiram tests for the past 4 years and they are still tough. Forum isn’t easy either, I like to torture myself.
Vaji is not tough they put somehow vague question but again I benefitted tremendously last year so cussing them would be Injustice haha!
Benefitted how? Please elaborate.

They Put a Lot of Emphasis on Concept which helped me strengthen my base! But It didn't benefit me in a sense like Doing Vajiram Test paper gave a huge advantage over others..

Done for the day. Excited about the weekend, no plans but still it is one of those mental hangovers from pre-aspirant days. Good night peeps!
Good morning guys.
Targets for 13/8/21
- PYQ analysis of past 30 years- History (complete)--HIGH ON PRIORITY
- Culture Pt365 --DO OR DIE SITUATION
- FINISH APRIL CA MCQs
- QUICK READING OF JANUARY, FEB AND MARCH CA 2021 (as much as possible)
Good luck to alll !!!!
Had a really productive day.. Funnily enough, I didn't even touch the target that was high on my priority.. Will probably do it first thing in the morning.
Quite satisfied that I finished Culture Pt365 in less than 3 hours.. About 2 weeks ago, this was one item that was always on my pending list.
P.s: The latest IPCC report is so sad. Coupled with the weather in Jammu for the past two years, I can't help but imagine this place become an arid region in the coming decades, if things keep on going south as they are right now. And the Himalayas have been so angry these days.. The Mountain baby in me is so upset and scared of all the landslides. Right now, I don't even have the courage to go to the mountains, so many lives being lost in split seconds.
Having narrowly escaped a landslide in Uttarakhand in 2019 while travelling in Uttarakhand state transport, I can only imagine the horror ..
Sighs..!!
Statics PYQs done (about 20 Questions left which I'll finish tomorrow)
Environment done (finally finished with the Red Book)
CA revision done (now I just need to revise. Won't do any new monthlies)
Newspaper done
Time studied 8 hours 15 mins.
Yesterday I couldn't sleep. I went to bed at 12 and just lay there till 5 trying my best to fall asleep. I guess it was due to a mix of anxiety + excitement. So today I was tired throughout the day. But this is the endgame. So I pushed myself as much as I could. It paid off. I'll go to bed a relieved person. Hope I sleep like a baby tonight.
Goodnight! :)
Did most except for some portions of GS related commitments(owing to the fact that I got up at around 6:30 instead of intended 5:30 and had to chase the targets).Still quite satisfied. Will read the paper now and doze off.
*Also taking a day off to pander to some other commitments. Will update tomorrow night now.
@Newton981 What you said makes a lot of sense.
Shubh Ratri doston!
Hi guys.
Day 16(13th of August)-
6:30-9- Mains Notes
9:30-1:30- GS
1:30-7:30- College
8:30-10:30- CA and Newspapers
10:30-11:30- Make Ignou Notes additions to Mills,Rousseau and Bentham
I have realised that I have to re-arrange my Secure Synopsis notes topic wise, else I will not be able to retain and make nice additions in them for coming months. It is a big task and hopefully I will be done with additions till July 2021 as well proper arrangement of a bulk of notes made from previous attempts by September 15.Hopefully!
Shubh Ratri Doston!
Procrastinated for a good deal of time. Went wayward after taking a day off. Had to remind myself time and again that no anxiety should be eating that head space. Not counting it as a day. Studied for around 4 hours only and retentivity was poor.
So will be completing the targets enlisted for today.
Tomorrow will be a new and a better day!
@THE_MECHANIC It is a 3 year LLB.Technically toh Bachelors hi hai bhai.
Shubh Ratri doston!
Targets-
Complete ancient history
Complete newspaper backlogs
Economics PYQ as much as possible
2-hour G-meet session for 2018 PYQ
Also, today there is a religious fair in my village. Will enjoy sweet Jalebis and snacks in the evening
Couldn't complete ancient
Economics PYQ - couldn't complete
made sticky notes for ancient terminology
2 hour session for the 2018 PYQ and tricks
Had so many distractions today - roaming in the fair, sending gifts to my little sisters as rakhi gifts(spent 2 hours in just finalizing gifts)
Have to push the nitro pedal from tomorrow, no more distractions.
