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.

Waking up early meant spending the entire morning sleepy-headed until I could finally take an afternoon nap. I guess changing my sleep patterns would lead to a rough few days initially
Today's target:-
- Newspaper
- Environment- Shankar notes Ch. 22-24 (9 Days remaining)
- History Optional- Medieval India Vol. 1 Ch. 1-3 + Revise Vol. 2 Ch. 1 (10 Days remaining)
It is kind of weird that I am now revising the Delhi Sultanat after reading the Mughal Empire. After giving mains, I felt that I was not very strong with the Mughal Empire portion and decided to firm that base. So I gave more time to that than usual. Now first volume will not take much time. And it will also free up lots of space for other subjects. But I will continue to keep on revising one chapter everyday from Vol. 2. I just feel like I need to best that area in my optional.

Based on how my day went, I'm reminded of this quote - "Most people overestimate what they can do in a day, and underestimate what they can do in a month" I hope this proves true by the time exams come
