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.

BAD DAY AT WORLD CUP.
EVEN PATHETIC DAY IN PREPARATION... NAHI HO PAEGA AISE TOHH MAINS... NEVERRRRR...
Wrote an extremely shitty essay today, felt like tearing the page even while I was mid-way...
Really really bad day.. No further comments on that... just 2 months left mannn.. november is already here.. So so annoyed with myself.. So highly unprepared I am for the Mains.. I can clearly feel it..
Good morning guys! Targets for 31.10.21 are:
Copy writing
Editorial- IE+ Hindu
Backlog
Daily C/A
PSIR- ideologies
PSIR- 2A (1/2)
GS- polity (1/4)
Crash course
Hopefully I can get all this done for the day. Let’s get this bread folks!
Didn’t even touch my PSIR portion for the day. Will have to buck up or else things will pile up too much.
Good morning, great people !Inspired with your daily targets and commitment, I’ll start posting here from today. Generally, I’m too lazy, pick up subjects based on mood and interest, some more, some less. But would do this time as per framework because time is less, syllabus is more. Let’s ace this together !Targets for Oct 31, 2021
- Meditation (1/2)
- 2 hours glancing through Good GS 2 Copy
- GS 2 : Indian Constitution - Historical Underpinnings, Evolution, Features, Amendments, Significant Provisions and Basic Structure + 1 hour Answer writing
- 2+2 hours Essay Lecture (@1.75x)
- To pursue a hobby 30 minutes
- 2 hours glancing through good essay copies
- Meditation (2/2)
Looking forward to fruitful Sunday ✌️
As said in Disclaimer, planned some targets, ended up doing some other ones. Lesson learnt - keep less and specific books on table.
Another good idea started with a fellow friend - to transfer each other some fixed noney for not practising 1 hour answer writing of Optional. Plan is to learn and earn together. Would ensure I dont end up in debt before beginning of Mains !
Posting here for a few days till someone gets back.
To do 31/10- Quantum 1/3
- Disaster 1/1
- Yojana 2x

Had the fire but couldn't do much, idk why. Afternoon nap when parents aren't home is a disaster tbh.
