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.

Guys.. is it alright to choose Delhi as centre for mains.. what about the peak cold during Jan 7 -16 period.. will it affect the performance ?
Please suggest how to prepare oneself to face the weather in case one chooses to write from Delhi.

If you’re currently in Delhi, it will be difficult but you’ll slowly acclimate to the cold. It’s difficult for the first 20 minutes, while your fingers haven’t warmed up yet, it gets ok after a while.
Concentration is wavering like anything..
It's been almost a week now like this..
I think I'll have to take full day break tomorrow, and waste as much time as I can... Maybe the guilt trip will help me in getting back on track..
What do you guys think?
I was in the same condition till yesterday. Took a mentor call and got a reality check. She asked me to plan for each week by allocating tasks to each day. When i did that i realised, i have shit load of work to do in very limited time. Planned accordingly. And today was a productive day for me. This was because i know in my head that if i stick to the plan, i will be able to complete things. And this took the stress off and i could concentrate. Just hoping it stays this way.
u can try out this plan thing.

I am going through the same. The guilt however worsens the situation atleast in my case. Keep doing the bare minimum and try to push a little fit further every day. ATB
Didn't take the break that I was talking about, as many people also rightly suggested.
In fact I had no clue how to spend my day had I taken a break.. I'm not a "binge watch TV shows" Kind of person...
Woke up as my normal schedule and glad to say I have had a fairly decent first half of the day..
I figured out sources of my distractions because of which I wasn't able to concentrate ...
I have thrown my cellphone in the farthest corner of my cupboard, which will only be taken out for evening walks now.. Also blocked some websites... For the next 30 days, which I can not unblock now till the 30 days get over..
As far as the break is concerned, it will make a lot more sense and would be meaningful after giving your 200% in this remaining one month(approx).. Would probably go to the mountains after thiss... *sighs*..
