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.

download previous toppers ethics copy from vision/forum elsewhere , write your answers and then match with those of toppers. I tried going through mgp good copies but the way they have clubbed all of them in one single file of 100s pages , it becomes difficult to read. your eyes inevitably tend to go to every answer in the sheet which at this time is a luxury one cant afford.

@leftfaithinmyself  vision 365 total pages around 700   reading them all just before a month is lethal 😂😂 
vision is actually trying to eliminate people by distracting them with useless topics. They should come up with something around 100 pages max.
instead of vision just go by topic of syllabus and look for recent issues that's it.  UPSC not going to ask anything from 365 , questions will be from static portion only example and data will be useful so read static. 
There material is good for pre 2019 era

@Neyawn sir a small suggestion about MGP. 

1. If it is possible could you issue some sort of tracking ID for each copy (a la courier package style). It would be really helpful for online students who cannot come to centres to enquire about their copies individually.

2. Can there be a feedback column for each test? I just got a copy checked and nothing against the marking, but I can barely read the handwriting for the comments made. It defeats the purpose of giving a test then.

EDIT: I did get an email asking for feedback for the copies.
