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.

T65 17 Sept 2021Revision Notes - Done. Nothing else for the day.I am off YPT right now just due to that. It does push me to clock 10+ hours but sometimes I fall victim to goodhart's law & I am doing work that doesn't need to be done in the first place. And I really don't need that right now. :D
I need some kind of peer pressure and competition dose. Else I am the queen of procrastination. :D

No. No. Don't say that.
You have competitors and I am not gonna give my position of queen so easily. You have to fight for that. Maybe sometime after, of course not now!
I had a pretty frustrating day. Acc to my timer, I studied 7+ hours. But I know I was unproductive for a good chunk of that time.
I want to study. I know I have to study. Yet I'll end up doing anything except studying. :p
I hope tomorrow I wake up refreshed and more energetic. According to the schedule/plan I made, I have to wrap up everything by Sunday and begin the final round of proper revision on Monday. I just hope I get back to top productivity in the next 2 days.
Targets -
Ancient to be completed
Medieval to be completed
OneNote notes to be studied for both

Too many targets, need to study as that much! Happy 22nd day before pre everyone!
Hey, Is there some keyword ka pdf you have?
Today has been one big vicious circle. Didn't want to revise in the morning so gave a test, didn't get good marks so couldn't concentrate on revision later. Instead, I finished Medeival history PYQs. Struggled with Environment a little bit but mostly I'm going consider today a null day for the subject. Going to give another test now before I'm off to sleep.
Targets for tomorrow:
- Environment Revision (3/4)
- Finish Test Analysis - Economy
Most of the time was spent on Environment, which seems never ending. Went back to test analysis and indices/schemes in between but not much.
Tomorrow: Finish Environment Revision

@shailputri Now Now, I see more people like me. But I have changed my schedule all together, so now I don't have to worry about getting to sleep. I hope this doesn't backfire me at the exam hall.
Everything done, except some part of August CA and Test. I will do PYQ instead.
Mapping bhi kiya saath mei as a desert with this whole meal !
Life update :
So , today result to written exam of AFCAT came, I cleared. Parents and grandparents were happy, because this was my first competitive exam I have given until now, and I cleared it.
I was not happy or I should say no emotions on clearing because I know the baap known as SSB is there waiting for me and shaitan 'weight' won't allow me clear the medicals and I am not ready to move on from CSE abhi.
But anyways had a golgappa party, due to which I missed one of my targets. Khushi on grandparents face made this little achievement worth it, couldn't tell them all of this. So yeah celebrated - clearing a written exam. Sigh!!
Targets -
October & September CA
Geography - both ncerts
Rivers
Polity MCQs
Mapping
@sstarrr Congratulations! Happy for you :)
