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.

Libraries can be of great help.

Atleast got up at proper time today.. 

Starting my day with lively ncerts.. 

Funny thing.. After last yr prelims while shifting my room.. Sold few old ncerts to kabariwalaa assuming won't be needing them to study again.. So yest downloaded them in pdf format... Will read them today.. 


6.30-8 am-ncert

8-9-newspaper

9.30-1.30-ncert

1.35-2.30-hindi

4.30-7-optional

7-8.30-will see.. 


Library I m also missing.. But avoiding it due to rising covid cases in Delhi and my last library experiences...apparently i have a magnet to draw very funny people towards myself as I trust easily whatever other person tells about himself.. It wasted a lot of time from September 2019 to Feb 2020-tat time should have been used for mains by me..

Libraries are a double-edged sword. It can provide a great atmosphere if you have competitive and serious aspirants or a way of wasting time if surrounded by the non-serious time pass types. 


Many a time I get attracted to the latter group due to the fun part associated with it! :P


Although, I am lucky in the sense that I am able to realise it pretty early. This is the reason I keep switching libraries. The benefits range from getting the desired seriousness back and having some change in the otherwise monotonous schedule.

Switching libraries works for me too. Though there is some inertia, especially if one has had a positive result at some stage of the exam while studying in a particular library. 

But you got to do what you got to do at the end of the day.

You can give a try to online study sessions. Study with me on youtube or twitch can be helpful.
