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.

A disappointing day comes to a close.

Couldn't complete anything apart from Ancient India.

Yesterday, made the mistake of drinking a super-chilled soft drink to beat the "October Heat" just before a nap. Ended up waking today with a sore throat. *facepalm*

##

2 days to go (+2 reserve days)

  • Complete today's pending items
  • Try to finish Geography and Polity

Fingers crossed – for tomorrow and my sore throat.

Good night, everyone.

Ok day I suppose. Not the best, but not the worst. Managed to do CSAT from PYQs, Mod India, C/A and some misc topics. Mod India is taking way too much time to finish. My brain is becoming more like a sieve and less the sponge I wish it were 🙃

My day was like y'day and the day before. I feel I am in the middle of space time continuum, while the world moves on. I am not sticking to one subject or one book. Just jumping from art culture to current to polity in the hope that my eyes run thru facts that I can use in exam. 

A change made in routine is exercise and post dinner walk and talk. To help with sleep.

Post dinner walk and talk seems like a thing of bygone era to me! I really miss that stuff.

Yesterday was exhausting. Completed a little bit of this and some of that. Today I have to finish this round of revision, doing what's left (includes portions of geography, modern history, environment, science and tech, current affairs).

From tomorrow, the final round of revision begins

Day's are really really hectic and I believe mixing and matching subjects allows me to feel I have done something. If I pick up say subjects like environment then I feel I haven't done anything but if coupled with eco or modern , I feel I know something. So that would be continued along as a trick to keep my mind calm. 

Times are tough for everyone but bas 5 din ki baat hai, Lage rahiye sab! All the very best comrade. 

P.S - I have been trying covering pollution and pollutants from shankar but seeing the haphazard manner in which they have provided the stuff I do not seem to remember anything at all. Like la ex , do anyone has any material which would have that in tabular format or like something like that. That's the only thing in env that is eating my head.

Yeah, I think so! I think I should try once more sochke bas yeh hi hai ab, then I will be able to do. Maybe it might not enhance understanding but then image memory might help later on in exam. 

You can hate shankar, but you can't ignore shankar #upsclife  😂
