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

Have been going through a bad phase these last few days, miss November when I would be able to study well without any distractions due to the post prelims rage. Now, I'm back where I was last year with prelims coming at a seemingly faster rate than what I had expected. Need some discipline back in life and what better place than this thread. Going to start slow but need to pick up pace by 1st April.
Targets:
- Finish Economy
- Environment PYQs (30)
- Newspaper
- IF all done, Mock Test
Also, thanks for everyone who wakes me up. Really appreciate it.
All the best everyone, hope we all do justice to the goals that we've set out for ourselves! :D
Good morning people!
I did all the targets except PYQs. I attempted them but yet to finish the analysis. Having a late start to the day after a long time, long way to go to build discipline.
Targets:
- Environment PYQs analysis
- Agri Bodies
- Newspaper
- Eco Test + Analysis
- If time, Budget test
Bad day. Almost didn't do anything except newspaper and giving the test.
Targets:
- Env PYQ - Must do
- Test 1 Analysis
- Eco: Test 2 + Analysis
- Newspaper
- Mapping - EN IG (1/3)
Analysing some tests takes forever for me, couldn't finish it today and hence couldn't give the other test either. Rest all done.
Targets:
- Env PYQs
- Finish Test 1 Analysis
- Eco - Revise Test Tidbits
- Newspaper
- Mapping - EN IG (2/3)
- If time, Test 2 + Analysis
Wasted one whole day but finished the targets today. Really need this new month to bring in a lot of energy.
Targets:
- Finish Economy (tidbits)
- Env PYQs
- Geography (1/4)
- Mapping - EN IG (2/3)
- Newspaper
All the best everyone! We may not win the small daily battles but often, to win the war, all we need to do is survive!
Not a bad day but potential to do so much more. Will need to give my own best so that I can feel okay with myself with whatever the outcome of this exam will be. Fingers crossed.
Did not start mapping and could not give enough time to PYQs. Rest all done.
Targets:
- Geography (2/4) - Finish Physical Geog
- Env PYQs - Finish till 2011
- Mapping - EN IG (2/3)
- Newspaper
Day was fine, scope to improve productivity remains.
Did not start mapping and PYQs will require more time. Similarly, could only do 50% of physical geography. Seems like I overestimated myself.
Targets:
- Geography (3/5) - Finish Physical Geography
- Mock Test
- Newspaper
- Env PYQs - Finish till 2011
- If time, Mapping - EN IG (2/3) OR start PT365

Hello again, people!
Its a mere two months to pre (and two weeks to CGL), and here I am, struggling to keep up the momentum. So, will be posting my targets here to get into the groove.
1. CGL- Geometry (Quadrilaterals)
2. Modern India- Advent of Gandhi, Non Coop, Swarajists
3. Eco CA- 20 pages
Good day!
Good Sunday after long.
Reviewing now - targets changed - did round 2 revision of gs 2 and round 1 revision of psir 2b.
Targets for April 4 (day 36)
1. Jkas - GS 2 mock test; round 1 revision of GS 3
2. Meditation 2x
Keep fighting soldiers. Good time is awaiting. Best of luck : )
Another good day. All credit goes to unprecedented date sheet of jkas exams. Studying these days is too much efforts taking. Generally, it has been a fight against time, now it’s a fight against self.
Reviewing now - the mock test I wrote in 3 shifts with cumulative time of 4 hours +. Not good. 50% revision of GS 3 round 1 done, 50% left.
Targets for April 5 (day 37)
1. GS 3 complete somehow and write one mock test
2. Meditation 2x
I’m well aware targets for tomorrow would drain all residual energy from me. But if not now, when ?
Best of luck dostoen : )

- Mock Test Analysis
- Newspaper

- Env PYQs
- Mapping - EN IG (2/3)
While the day in itself wasn't impressive, what was worse was that test analyse took up 5-6 hours of my day. Surely I'm doing something wrong. Usually I go through the solutions word by word and add to my notes whatever I get wrong or miss out on. Tips for doing the analysis quickly? :)
Could only finish the test analysis and newspaper. Disappointing.
Targets:
- Geography (3/5) - Finish Physical Geography
- Env PYQs
- Mapping - EN IG (Finish)
- Newspaper
- PT 365 S&T (1/5)
