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.

- Please excuse me for borrowing this space of yours, as there is no thread for CSE 2022. Also, people say that there is a fine line between being an optimist and being practical, I anyways will do it my way.

Day 1: Target for 21/02/2021
7-9: forum test (hopefully I wake up)
10:00-1:00 - optional - attempting test Qs
3:00-5:00- lx rev - ch 1-2
6:00-8:00- ca - June
9:00-11:00 - mrunal pillar 4a - as much as possible
Novel of the day: homo sapiens. Need to spend time on this instead of random forum threads/Quora/YT. :P
P.S: Giving my first attempt in 2021. Started my prep way back but not at all consistent with my targets. I had been lurking around these threads for sometime but decided will post here daily from now onwards. Hopefully seeing other consistent people will help me to be consistent and not make impossible targets which am always guilty of. Incase you see me not finishing my targets/not posting do call me out. Thank you .

1. Gave forum test on schedule. My prep level is so bad I was done in an hour.
2. Did optional test only 1.5 hrs and just 2Qs.
3. Finished lx 1-2 and studied for 2 hrs
4. Did ca only 1.25 hr- just finished 10 pages
5. Did mrunal pillar 4a 1.25 hrs. Finished 15 pgs
Biggest issue is starting the study session on assigned time slot. Need to work on this first.
Read sapiens, did some yoga will try to add meditation also. Hopefully it will help control my wandering mind.
