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.

https://boringnews.co/?referral=sh1n6t9, pretty great, curates every day updates in different fields in a factual and focused manner. Comes in inbox every day at 8 am. Good enough to read in 15 minutes and get aware of all non-biased news in different areas. Can check if anyone want to subscribe for daily updates (current affairs)Good to start daily early morning routine while reading this.
The Ministry of Personal Productivity should set up a commission to inquire into the curious case of Nerdfighter who sat in front of his books all day but got nothing done. I literally did not do anything from 12:30 to 7:30 today. I did not do anything else. I was just procrastinating.
What all I got done today:
- Half the environment booklet done; half to go (3 Hours 15 Minutes)
- PSIR: Hobbes (1 Hour 30 Minutes)
- Ethics Class (45 Minutes)
Did not even touch the PSIR I-B portion that i planned to do. Did not do CSAT.
Total Hours Studied: 5 Hours 18 Minutes
---
Chill Reads (Not counted in total hours studied)
- Read 'The Difficulty of Being good" for 30 minutes
- Newspaper for 30 Minutes
- Went for a walk & listened to Seen Unseen; Episode with Karthick Muralitharan almost completed; Very dense episode; Will need to redo it again after a few weeks.
Arey bhai Consistency is important! You have that keep going bro!
Anyways it's inspiring how much you keep demanding from yourself.

Are you asking about Santosh Sir? I had joined his classes last year too. And if I had followed him well, I could have been in a much better place. His current affairs classes cover a of things & not just current affairs. And he take a lot of effort. A lot of effort. This I am talking about his Current Affairs Classes.
He used to teach Science & Tech in Shubhra Ranjan, which too was top notch. He started this new institute called "Level up IAS". In their institute, the Art & Culture teacher, Nikhil Sheth too is top notch. Cannot comment about others.
Is this the same Santosh sir who has a tg group called optimise ias? Because I was asking about him, since he claims to revolutionise the coaching industry and he also does take a lot of individual effort as far as I have observed. Hence I was asking about the quality of his materials

No no. There are two Santosh Kumar taking CA classes. This is not him. He actually talked about this confusion. The other Santosh Sir is also known for making outrageous claims.
Haha thanks a ton for clearing that up. His claims did seem too good to be true- much like a get rich quick scheme.
Oh ok thanks a lot for this.

@DeekshitaP he used to upload his environment lectures on YT for free (apparently removed now), have used them for revision two years back. Not promoting any coaching but he is a good guy in terms of helping students (at least during his times at Shubra's, haven't seen his latest venture though).
