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.

@Huntington Those Notes I believe are the best economy notes covering  social sector as well as current part in a complete manner. But it's true, it can be pretty daunting for a person if he's reading them for first time. 
I've been using them since 2019, so it becomes a bit easier to recollect, but still required a lot of time .
I would recommend underline what is imp for prelims. These notes are for both pre and mains, so study them only with prelims in mind . Underline the important stuff for pre. In the next reading, just read that. It would require 2-3 readings atleast to internalize 
But also remember , it would help you in solving around 25 questions in pre. So, it is worth the effort 

Also see the weightage of each pillar and sub pillars as well. There are 6 in total . Do all , if you've less time, you can skip Pillar 5 or just read it once. 
Priority should be given to Pillar 1,3, 4 and 6 as most questions come from there.

Good morning guys! I have an exam today so don’t think I’ll be able to get much done today. (@sstarrr same pinch!). Will post at the end of the day what actually got done.@balwintejas my lack of sleep these past couple of weeks got to me yaar, not that the situation is getting better, but 🤷🏻‍♀️

Didn’t manage to do much, just a little bit of environment that’s all. Besides losing half my body weight in sweat the exam went pretty fine. Also witnessed just how flimsy the concept of social distancing is in the face of desperation to enter the exam hall

@Shailputri i wrote a B.Ed entrance. Have one more lined up which might be dangerously close to prelims

Studying some more before going to bed. 

P.S: I had written a decent motivating message for you all and just posted it here. Turns out, it did not get submitted. Now I lost motivation to type that again.. LOL!


Long story short..JUST ABOUT 40 DAYS LEFT GUYS. GIVE YOUR BEST. DON'T GIVE IN TO DESIRES OF ANY SORTS THAT WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ACHIEVING YOUR UPSC NIRVANA. 
FEW GOOD MOVES WILL TAKE US CLOSER TO OUR TARGETS. ONE WRONG MOVE, WILL PULL US DEEP INTO THIS DARK LABYRINTH CALLED UPSC PREPARATION. CHOICE IS OURS TO MAKE. 

Goodnightt !!!
