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.

@nerdfighter how's you going bro ??
Just be disconnected for next 28 days from outside world let the knowledge be your greenhouse, outside influence even though inadvertently can have profound impact on our mind sometimes.
Done for the day. Did an agenda-less day as part of my “no stress” day, it felt good for a change but I do like a set schedule more. This was just to get me back into the groove more than anything. I did fall asleep by accident around 11 in the morning but what else can you expect from studying on the bed. Targets achieved:
Modern India- revision
Geo( physical+ some positions of Indian)
CSAT
Mapping
Test analysis
Couldn’t finish my C/A for the day. Will do that tomorrow I suppose. Not bad for a day after a terrible one.
@The Mechanic @The Force thank you for your encouraging words guys!
@Infinitybeyondinfinity @Rashmirathi all the best for HCS guys, phodke aana!
After a good day yesterday , starting off late today . Targets for today :NewspaperFinish history optional lectures (2 remaining)Finish modern History NCERT (1.5ch remaining)Read economy NCERT (2 ch at least) and revise the previous ones.Analyse 20-25pyq for modern History and Indian economy.Have a good day folks.
Almost all the targets completed.
But Missed going through Previous year questions.
Good night folks .
Today was a tough day and yet I'm happy with how I tackled it. Post vaccination side effects made me lose focus and efficiency but the urgency of prelims ensured I didn't slack off. Was able to revise Economy, will still need at least two more days. Economy took a lot of time so I changed my plans and went about revising Indices once I was done with it.
Targets:
- Economy (5/6)
- Test Analysis (1 test)
- Attempt 1 Mock
- Schemes/Indices (If time permits)
Just read through the thread, seeing all the people struggle and keep fighting made me remember some lines I keep visiting in my bad days.
JRR Tolkein, "Fellowship of the Ring"“All that is gold does not glitter,Not all those who wander are lost;The old that is strong does not wither,Deep roots are not reached by the frost.From the ashes a fire shall be woken,A light from the shadows shall spring;Renewed shall be blade that was broken,The crownless again shall be king.”
Economy took a lot of time again, but I was finally able to finish the static portion. I'm changing a couple of things, will go back to Economy (only CA) after I'm done with Environment and S&T. Did about 50% of test analysis and a little bit of schemes here and there. Slacked off in the second half, not again! Tomorrow is sort of a bridge day, taking care of some loose ends.
Targets:
- 1 Mock
- Finish Test Analysis
- Finish June, July Vision CA (Push for August?)
- Indices (if time permits)
Target -
Economics OneNote
Polity PYQs
Monthly CA revisions - as much as I can
1 Mock and analysis
Newspaper
Gave 1 test and analysis
Started Polity PYQs
Read July CA
And then, the day becomes so horrible after 7 PM. There are mites in my life who suck the energy out of my soul despite they being my past. Horrible day throughout! Hope to bounce back very hard tomorrow!
