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

Could not revise environment sincerely, gave the test instead. This week will be all about getting rid of backlogs. 


Targets: 

  • SFG: Test + Analysis 
  • Newspaper 
  • Finish Agriculture 
  • Environment Revision 
  • Miscellaneous tidbits 


@Jammu good to see you here. Really appreciate the wake ups. All the best :)

February was good for the first 20 days and then it all went haywire. Need to ensure consistency. Had massive inertia to do anything yesterday so I did the SFG test, newspaper and substitute agriculture with studying the budget. No progress on environment. 


Targets: 

  • Finish Agriculture 
  • SFG Test Analysis 
  • Environment (if tired, substitute with ES)
  • Newspaper 
  • Plan for the month


Hoping for a much better march. All the best everyone!

Did not find time to do environment, will try to finish it by tomorrow now. Other targets done. 


Targets: 

  • Environment (1/2) 
  • SFG Backlog (1/2) 
  • Newspaper 
  • Miscellaneous 

Finished all the targets. Today seems to be a difficult day, will try to pivot from the bad start. 


Targets: 

  • Environment (2/2) 
  • Finish SFG Backlog (2/2) 
  • Newspaper 
  • Miscellaneous 

Going back to ambitious targets now or else I'll keep faltering. Today, I could not finish Environment (Barely touched it) but did the rest. Disappointing day nevertheless. By the way, thanks for the wake ups. Will try to do better tomorrow. 


Targets: 

  • Finish Environment (2/2)
  • Finish S&T Backlog 
  • Mock Test Analysis (if time) 
  • Economic Survey (1/3) 
  • Newspaper 

Finished environment, did newspaper and started S&T. Could not touch Economic Survey or the test. Have to figure out a way to be productive post 6 PM, losing a lot of time!


Targets: 

  • Finish S&T Backlog 
  • Economic Survey (1/3)
  • Mock Test Analysis (if time) 
  • Newspaper 


Win finally able to finish S&T. Now onto the final set of NCERTs. Going to take a different approach in terms of doing economic survey and hope that it works out, no point in finishing old backlogs only to get new ones. 


Targets: 

  • Medieval History (1/2)
  • Economic Survey (10 Pages) 
  • Newspaper 

All done. Could have done better but hopefully soon. 


Targets: 

  • Finish Medieval History 
  • Economic Survey (10 pages) 
  • Newspaper

Couldn't complete yesterday's targets, was left with 2 chapters of MI. So finished them today.

07 March 2022-

-20 min meditation (done)

-The Hindu

-MI, about to complete, so 8 chapters today.

-Ancient notes revision (depends on time and energy)


@Archand what are your sources for snt?

Hey, sorry about the late response. 


I'm going to do NCERTs + PYQ based googling + my old notes. Old notes comprise of mostly the monthly magazines from last year and whatever I would get from tests. 


Do suggest if you think there's something missing :)

Sudden change in middle of the day, gave myself a half day off. This break has come after a long time. I zoom called my college friends, the laughter that followed was unprecedented. Fond memories !

Reviewing now - all done except opening the book Laxmikant. 

Targets for March 7 (day 8)

1. Meditation 2x, DW

2. Laxmikant notes underlined - complete them anyhow. What is left, consider it left.

3.  Newspaper, CA topic

Tomorrow is Monday, we will ensure its colour would not fade to Blue !


Monday was indeed colorful. Long live such days !

First half was lethargic. Picked up the pace in the second half. Towards the end, I watched MEA media briefings on Operation Ganga in their youtube channel. I believe IFS is very much a professional service. Even with limited resources at hand, they are doing things really well. All previous Evacuation Missions have enriched confidence in our Diaspora.

Reviewing now - Laxmikant challenge made it a long day. Considerable portions done, what is left, we will read after couple of weeks. Everything else done, missed the Cleaning Meditation though.

Targets for March 8 (day 9)

1. Meditation 2x, DW

2. Pre - Note making from Previous Year’s Mock tests of Polity; CSAT 2021 Paper

3. PT - transcripts on Home State turned UT, CA Topic - Operation Ganga

I also have some outdoor work in the evening, will try to clock in good hours of study somehow. 

Looking forward to another good day in the week, kar ke dikhayenge !
