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.
Moderator Update: This thread has crossed 1 million views and has thousands of comments slowing down the website. We are closing this and moving to the next thread
While copying first 5 lines from@Villanelle , here's my schedule for the day:
1. Security (2 hours)
2. PSIR: Marx + PYQ AWP (3 hours)
3. Society (2 hours)
4. June CA notes ( 30 pages)
Hoping that this streak on the thread continues. :)
Update :
Didn't do CAs and AWP for PSIR. Rest is done! Now I will watch this one episode of a fab Pakistani series. :p
Churails?
Ji haan!
Plus there's this 30 episode romcom Chupke Chupke. With some Punjabi tinge in it, it's my perfect stress buster these days. :p
After getting inspired from@nerdfighter @Celeborn @DeekshitaP @DrishtiPoint will be posting here from tomorrow for some accountability because as said -

Wow! This thread is really heating up!
Welcome@Villanelle,@thesleepyhead ,@Mare_of_Easttown ,@MaeveWiley ,@DHARNA ,@Rashmirathi and@Mettle
Today’s targets were -
1. Optional - Complex analysis ( Set-1, Set-2)
2. Ethics - Class-12, 13
What I did?
1. Optional- Set 1, Set 2 (half) [3.5 hours]
2. Ethics- Class - 12 [2 hours]
Total - 5.5 hours.
From tomorrow I will try to improve and increase the number of hours. I know I can do it.
Also, I tend to switch between topics very frequently (in optional specifically). For example, yesterday, I was doing mechanics but today I switched to complex because for me former is difficult.
Please scold me if I switch again. 🙈
Speaking from experience... Please don't frequently switch topics, especially in Maths optional. It will leave gaps in your understanding as everything is sequential and interlinked.
Many topics are hard. But you'll have to persist through them. Sometimes it might even take 2-3 revisions before you finally 'get' a concept.
Keep striving though! 5 and a half hours is a great start!

I didn't feel too productive throughout the day. It helped that I had reasonable (and not extreme) targets set. Even then, required a late night shift to try finish everything.

Do whatever I couldn’t complete yesterday. That’s it, just one foot forward at a time.
Yesterday was day 2 of being unproductive. Today will be Day 1 of being productive. Targets remain the same. We shall persist nonetheless.
Managed to complete all targets except PSIR, so I’m feeling quite good about my day yesterday.
Vaccine day.
Have kept it as buffer.
Still before noon -
1. Optional P2 last topic contd
2. Newspaper & notes
3. Write 3 answers.
Rest - let covshield decide. I really don't like getting sick. For the first time in life haven't been under the weather for 1.5 yrs.
Guys & gals - some suggestions to binge watch plz!
