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.

Vision. I'm taking their printed material (not VAM) as the base since there's significant overlap between printed material and the class. The class is not exceptional as such.. It's just for some conceptual clarity which I sorely lack.
