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.

Does anyone know of a good book that covers Eastern Philosophy? I'm looking for something similar to Story of Philosophy by Will Durant (as mentioned by@Villanelle) or A History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell.
After 2 weeks of not posting daily routine, will continue from today. Need to get the shit done.
To-do for 2-06-2021
- Physics - mechanics- revision and tut sheet- 7 hours
- Probable topics - NDHM; Reservation policy - 1 hour
- Ethics - complete value table - 2 hours
- Timer time - 10hr 9mins
Completed probable topics- NDHM, NEP, minimum marriage age.
Allocated more time for ethics, started off with philosophers
Couldn't do much in mechanics- did ≈50% of the targeted portion.
To-do for 3-06-2021
- Mechanics- will try to complete it with tut sheet
- Probable topics- reservation policy (carry forward from today); few women issues left to cover
- Ethics- consolidate philosophies; read atul garg case study; watch atish 1st case study lecture
Will resume timer bound study after few days of discipline, hurts when you can't finish that off.
Just did probable topics and consolidated philosophies. Lil bit of mech, if that counts. Quite a poor performance today.
Todo 4-05-2021
- Carry forward from today's backlog
- Another set of 2 probable topics

Maths ->aim was 3 lectures. Did 1.5 lectures
Current affairs class ->completed class. Need to update notes which I will do tomorrow.
Newspaper ->done
Today morning + afternoon wasn't that productive. Sat down to study but was distracted throughout. By evening changed my tactics a bit. Most of what I did today was achieved after that.
Basically I've started setting really specific goals for each session (like doing this many minutes of a lecture, or this much pages of notes in 50-60 minutes). Hoping this will sustain my studies further.
Tomorrows targets ->1) Maths 4.5 lectures 2) Ethics revision + 2 answers 3) Newspaper 4) Current affairs notes update
Thanks a lot! Would love to run a half sometime in life :)
One of my medium-term goals is to participate in and complete the Airtel Delhi half marathon. Hoping to get to do that once the pandemic ceases.

Oh hey fellow runner! Same even I do really want to run the ADHM. My father runs it’s quite regularly so I’ve also been very inspired to do it myself.

Oh that's quite awesome. How was his experience? I've heard running in Delhi's polluted air can be quite taxing.
I'm not actually a runner though :P. Atleast not yet. More like someone who has read books/ watched interviews of quite a few long-distance runners and want to emulate that.
