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.

@Shailputri about Google doodle   tim bergling his story is fascinating if he was alive he would have been 32 today.
But his short journey was remarkable, sad that he could not win that battle.
But his story inspires all of us to win.
Life does not end at 32(32 is remarkable age limit 4 many of us) sometimes it begins after that.

@Shailputri this reminds me of Ustaad  Jon Elia words-

ये मिला नहींवो किया नहींये हुआ नहींवो रहा नहीं  ।।

@The Force Yes. I read about him. Artists have a difficult and troubled living. 

@LetsGetThisBread Commendable. 

On the contrary, I couldn't do anything. The day started off well. Then ghar ka owner related issues popped up. Why do things come up near to the exam to throw our plans out of gear. I don't know how much I will be able to pull off tomorrow as well coz of a festivity. Circumstances are such, I have no option but to be involved. Peaceful time to study is what I need.

Disappointing day friends. Finished one test and did a little bit of revision. Need to trim down the time taken to analyse one test. Today will be better. 


Targets: 

  • Economy (3/6) 
  • Test Analysis (1 Test) 
  • Government Schemes (If time permits)

Decent day today. Was able to revise economy well. I did government schemes and gave a new test instead of analysing a previous one. It was a good decision considering that it helped me get over some post vision FLT trauma! 


Targets: 

  • Economy (4/6) 
  • Test Analysis (1 test) 
  • Schemes (If time permits)


The prelims fear has started to trickle in, one more month to go!
