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.

Everything done except ethics. Sociology took more time than I imagined. Also 3km run done so I am happy with myself. Hopefully more productive days soon, cheers!

Morning guys :)

9th June

• PSIR: Hobbes + PYQ (2-3 hours)

• Security (3-4 hours)

• AWP (1 hour)

• May CA (1/3)

All done. Not proud of the way I did answer writing today though. Focus to be on not compromising quality kal se 😂

  1. Watched the first episode of the new mini series Mare of Easttown during lunch. It’s a small town crime drama starring Kate Winslet. Quite good so far. 
  2. @Mare_of_Easttown yesterday I thought to myself what a strange username you had, but I get it now. 😂
  3. Has everyone taken up running suddenly? I used to feel smug about getting 10k steps down, but now I feel like an elderly. Does running from responsibilities count?

Running from responsibility does count. Its peak workout :p 

But seriously, I have played basketball since my school days. I got very lazy last year - "not even walking enough" lazy and I used studies as an excuse for my laziness. I have resumed workout + running since December.

@MaeveWiley Sweet. 
I don’t even know if I should call the stuff I do as “workout”. I just do some random lunges, squats and stretching. And on top of that, walking 😂

@Villanelle Anything that increases your heart rate counts. Being active for even 15-20 minutes is very very beneficial. So basically you're winning 🤗

The energy on this thread is watering my plants, clearing my skin :D just so much determination and getting-things-done-ination here and it’s so inspiring

Days are on the brighter side. But 2021 prep, the little I was trying to squeeze in along with interview prep, had taken a backseat after prelims got postponed. But now my date is towards the very end of the schedule so I have to make a prelims plan again. Just when I got into a nice groove. 

I’m going to steal from everyone’s plans here to make mine :D

Thank you for asking :D

Looks like love for planning is just one of the many attributes you share with Knope :P good luck with it, though :)

And don’t mind me. That was so reflexive. I guess pressuring people into sharing on this thread is what I am all about now 😂

Hahaha. All three of my whiteboards shine in agreement :p but I revise plans more than I make them.

I like your tactics 😂 I wanted to be part of the action but my 2021 ke track ke efforts were nonexistent. But no more!

Oh and cut the hair! YOLO :p

Due to certain personal obligations, I'll be taking the next 4-5 days off. So won't be posting here. 

All the best to all of you! Keep striving :)

Completed all the targets set for today . It was a good start after so long  and also managed to finish “ The Unending Game “ by Vikram Sood ( those who are interested in espionage can read it to understand how it works)  and also shaved off the head .That’s all for today 

And at last -


रास्तासोचतेरहनेसेकिधरबनताहै

सरमेंसौदाहोतोदीवारमेंदरबनताहै 

सौदा -passion


Yes to shaving the head! Welcome to the bald headed club XD
