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.

30 - 31/01/2021 Updates:
Shankar Hindu DNA - 
Daily current affairs (Factly) + This day in history - 1 article -
ODE - 34 pages (finish topic) -
Mathematics optional partially completed (revision - 7/12 topics finished). Starting prelims preparation from day.
Note: 30+31 were not really 2 days. I used to account for my day starting at 7:00-8:00 pm in the evening, when I woke up. However, I plan to wake in the morning from next day, going for a long sleep after days of sleeplessness. Hence, two days anomaly is more of an accounting adjustment.
01.02.2021 Targets:
Shankar Hindu DNA for 30.01.2021
Factly for 01.02.2021
Weekly Current affairs revision
- Shankar Hindu DNA Notes
- Factly revision for the week
Finish September Vision magazine (resuming from pg. 37 where I left off long time ago)
@HotBloodPrince Bhaloo change dp 2 Biden and if possible name 2 cold blood grandman😝
Haha. This name is like an identity. But many friends have suggested to move on with this dp. Doing it now. :)
Routine-
For next 5 days it is art and culture and some current affairs.

Sorry everyone, couldn't post for 2-3 days. Hear me out:
I attempted to change my routine at the end of the previous month. However, I couldn't sleep at night, though I tried. Later, in the day I did not want to sleep, because then I would be falling in the same old schedule. So, I kept awake somehow till the evening, after which I slept, only to wake up at about 10:00 pm again, due to habit. Same thing repeated the next day, because I hoped that this will fade out by 1-2 days. No such luck. Then, on the third day, finally, I slept in the day, and somehow studied something (frequent routine change left me a bit erratic + lot of procrastination on my part) to finally reach at the 4th. I have abandoned all plans of ever changing my schedule again in the near future. Possibly, I'll change it one month before Prelims.
What are your comments on this? Do you feel it is fine, if someone has an erratic routine like mine (I usually sleep at 11:00-12:00 pm; sometimes goes up to 3:00 - 4:00pm too)? Would it have any side effects in the long run during preparation? Also, is it possible to change the routine a month before the exam, and perform efficiently during exam, or should it be done before? Any helpful comments will be much appreciated.

Bhai, why you doing so much current affairs? Factly itself is so huge. Do the static if you are planning for 2021.
