CSE 2022: Plan/ Strategy/ Daily Routine

This is an everything thread for all stuff 2022. You can post your daily goals, end-of-the-day updates, weekly targets or any weird thing you use to measure your progress. You can put into words & post the soul-sucking sadness that is threatening to devour you & your productivity. You can write what made your day & let others experience the happiness too, at least vicariously. This is a thread to pick each other up. This is a thread to keep each other accountable. This is a no-judgement zone.

--------

“This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be a long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time.”

— Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

I’ll count it as a good and productive day. Couldn’t study as many hours, but the day was indeed different in the breed and self assuring. I feel more confident about life this way.

Reviewing now - almost everything done except Spectrum and DW. Past couple of days had been disproportionately spent on PT, primarily because of associated excitement about new things and optimism biasness 3.0, but now would be more pragmatic in coming days. Would take in Pre full and PT less day for some days.


Targets for March 3 (day 4)

1. Meditation; Diary Writing

2. Spectrum (complete revising underlined notes in the book) + something more

3. Newspaper


Looking forward to thoughtful thursday !

Just another average day. One friend here has shared a very meaningful line. Things dont just happen on their own, they are made to happen. Very much soothing to read it after day long efforts.

Reviewing now, Spectrum would take couple of more hours. Diary Writing yet again pending. Will plan this tomorrow on priority basis.

Targets for March 4 (day 5)

1. Meditation 2x; Diary Writing

2. Complete Spectrum, shift to Laxmikant

3. Newspaper, CA topic - Online Gaming.

Will ensure good enough study before Lunch. We will make it count !

Well revision is proving to be more difficult than I anticipated, as the boredom starts kicking-in with repetition. Need to work on this.

@Jiraiya bro has more or less become a gender neutral term now

anyway i often worry about risks associated with reading things only superficially 

meaning amendments etc should be prepared in depth

Since we are all practically boxed in for the next 3 months, here's something of open nature to look at. This was taken from Gadia Pahad, Kanker, Chhattisgarh. I hope you find it as soothing as I did.

Patience is waiting, but not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow is Patience. :)

Have a bright day!
