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.

10.6.21

post independence (which is taking much much longer longer than I wanted)

psir- NIEO (google stuff+ notes)

IE editorial backlog (second last day woot woot)

daily CA 

Managed to complete all my targets well in time. I switched to doing the shorter, less time intensive stuff in the first half of the day. The momentum helped me to keep going. Plus seeing 3 ticked to-dos by lunch is far more satisfying than just 1. So even though i did PSIR only in the evening i still managed to find time for a Netflix session

Instead of feeling that youโ€™ve blown the day and thinking, "I'll get back on track tomorrow," try thinking of each day as a set of four quarters: morning, midday, afternoon, evening. If you blow one quarter, you get back on track for the next quarter.

Here is the story of day - Only read newspaper and some parts of ethics and finished off the โ€œ The Namesakeโ€ (was postponing it for the some days but as said โ€œ All great things come to end one dayโ€ )

Will be back tomorrow stronger  -as said
