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.

How did Haryana PCS go guys@Infinitybeyondinfinity and others

According to me it falls in easy to moderate category. Attempted 94. According to telegram keys I am scoring around 66.5 marks. But people on telegram are saying ki cut off would be around 70-75. 

What I learnt from this exam is that basic books are bible to us. Jitni bar padh  sakte ho utni bar padho 

PS-Kaptaan mentioned cut off will be around 65-68 therefore he is nice guy :p

For the tasks for the day- will chalk out the strategy and revision plan till 10th oct + will read some IR current affairs

Hey Guys !! Haven't been posting here because I am avoiding social interactions of any kind.. Haven't talked to a single friend in two weeks. And I plan to keep it the same way for the next 29 days as well.. 

Just dropping in a comment here to share something. The past 3 days have not been good mentally because of drama at home.. I am someone who just can not ignore certain things.. Today was the same.

. Post my evening walk, I was so done with the drama that I started crying thinking that I will never be able to get over my mind and its useless wandering on useless things.  I turned off the lights at 8 and thought I would go to sleep. Ofcourse, I wasn't sleepy. And then I thought. Who is the loser here? It's me.. If I sleep right now and waste time, who will suffer ?? 

Small dramas at home will keep on happening. That is the beauty of a middle class household.. But If I waste today, maybe I will end up wasting the entire year..  So I picked myself up and I was studying since then.  I am still not sleepy and I will study some more..  

So today, Mood swings=0, me=1... 

Each one of you who is having not so good days, pick urself up.. Resolve anything that is troubling you at the earliest - physical, mental, etc.  But just do what is needed.  Make every day count.. 

Ok bye :)

So many positive messages and pictures in the feed. Feels positive despite having a low day yesterday where I could do nothing except for deciding what and how to study according to the syllabus.

Targets for today:

Newspaper 
Ethics : unit 1
Economy : Sriram Notes unit 1
History : modern world history unit 1

Any History optional aspirant, if you've sometime (I know you must be busy for pre); if you can suggest me what to read in modern world history (pre ww).. 

Everyone says Ranjan Chakraborty is a must so I have purchased one and started to read,but can't match syllabus from there. And whatever matches there,, material is very short.

Good day all of you 👍✌️

I am pretty much exhausted. I put all that I had today. Around 9 good hours after cutting out those 6 hours of college leaves almost nothing for recreation. Yet I couldn't achieve all the targets. But then I believe this is my general tendency. If I am given an option to climb either of the two peaks, I will choose to climb 70-80% of the steeper peak than to climb a less steeper peak. Haha!

I did this today-


Targets for tomorrow-

Day 21 (19th August)-


A funny thing that is happening with me these days- Whenever I feel drowsy during the day, I try to manipulate my mind by reminding it that SLEEP IS A MERE STATE OF MIND and tbh it works.

Chalo Shubh Ratri doston!

Kal I didn't study anything(quite literally). Aaj bhi only Marx wala part. Pretty bad but koi nahi I will step up.

Will update in the night.

This is brilliant@mightyraju 

Remember we just have to keep putting efforts. Not meeting targets 100% is okay. Not having goals is not okay.

The night was one of the most horrible. So horrible that I wake up, cried, was drinking water, cried, and never being asleep thoroughly. This is a strange thing considering I have always been the most cheerful and enjoying nature person throughout my life. Sometimes, I wish I should have been an arrogant, very selfish person throughout my life.

Targets - 

Not to kill myself today

Mock test & analysis

CA revision till January 

Polity PYQs

 Newspaper

+1

Right now getting killed would be redundant.
