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.

Thanks for the advice, will try it out.» hide previous quotesHad a very bad day today. I am not habituated to high pollution, and Delhi is choking me (having throat irritation and watering eyes). I am also going through headaches from yesterday evening. Cound not focus at all. Also, I missed today's AWFG.
Delhiites, please suggest how to tackle this. Does air purifying plants help?
Not a delhite, but I've stayed there for 5 years and I know what this gas chamber feels like.
Some of my delhite friends use air purifiers, they say it works but then when AQI is already 500-600+ , so idk how much it will help. But something is better than nothing...
On a side note Use Hankerchief soaked in water and put it on ur eyes and nose when u lie down..
Headache is also bcz of the smoke, it will go eventually...
As you have stayed long enough in Delhi, can you tell, is this temporary Diwali effect, or will it stay during the whole winter?
Edit - I was talking about indoor plants, not planning to invest on a purifier for just 2 months
It’s mostly subsides after Diwali but the smog is still going to persist. It’s better if you invest in some air purifying plants because even March-April m stubble burning se AQI drops
I've reached a point where I'm sitting for many hours. Now I need to improve my effectiveness in making full use of those hours. So from now on aiming to work harder.
Targets for tomorrow:
1) Governance (3/3)
2) Polity - some pending portion
3) Numerical Analysis theory + PYQs
4) CA class
5) Newspaper

Political Science Optional Peeps, do you write your answer in Paragraph only format or in points format ? Also when asked to compare or contrast, do you make a table and do one to one comparison or in the old paragraph type only.
People with Sociology/history can also tell me. This is my first mains. thanks.
I guess@Infinitybeyondinfinitycan help as he is group leader.I can't join YPT since that room is full. I tried joining Forumites. Can someone help me out here? :3
Ssup people. Shifting few gears again. Will be more relaxed as we don't have to give exam tomorrow but on 7th Jan. There would be many marginal gains everyday, need to keep calm. Also, it's either optional or GS days. Not mixing them up.
To do 6-11
- EPIC of past 10months for Eco/agri/env
- Eco survey 2021. If time permits, few pointers from previous editions
- Revise prev notes - Eco/agri/env
- Will be sharing stopwatch time
Done with one test already, 19 more to go. Will make sure I write the next one on schedule as well.
Do we have a yearly compilation of EPIC just like mains365? it would be really helpful.

Paragraphs over points (that’s the SR recommended style). Compare and contrast ones can also be done in paragraphs. Though the table format is much more efficient. I would suggest that you try one of those out for a test series and see what reviews you get. And please share what they say about it :p
