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 you guys are coping with post prelims fatigue? Is setting 5-6 hours target initially the way to go about it?
No time for post prelims fatigue.
Now this fatigue would be cured only and only after mains...
No room for complacency.. Don't want to go through the phase of prelims again, so this keeps me moving even when I feel like chilling.
5-6 hours daily is fine, provided it is 5-6 hours of productive study.. October is about to end, graudally you will have to double this..

Using Vajiram daily newspaper "important article" updates on telegram. I skim through their index and read the news which looks important from The hindu archives on "The hindu" official site. Quick go through.

I didn't read newspaper for any day in September and not even much in August, so I am kind of under fix as to how to cover it..

I was planning to glance through 2 pages of editorials in IE. Everything and anything related to mains is already covered in that. Only 1-2 are relevant with mains pov. 2 months can be covered in almost 3/4th of day as I did the same last year.
