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

Didn't do a lot today. The mock test was (surprisingly) tiring. Repeating most targets for tomorrow. 


Must do: 

  • Geography (3/5) - Finish Physical Geography 
  • Mock Test Analysis 
  • Newspaper 


Try to do: 

  • 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) 

Took me an extra day but got done with physical geography (finally!) 


Targets: 

  • FLT: Test + Analysis 
  • Geography (4/5) - IG 
  • Env PYQs 
  • Newspaper 
  • PT365 S&T (2/5)

Not sure how to rate it. Gave my 100% to the day, yet targets not completed.

Reviewing now - two rounds of revision of gs 3 done barring science and tech. Mock test missed.

Targets for April 6 (day 38)

1. GS 3 mock test

2. GS 4 round 1 revision

3. Meditation 2x

Keep studying friends, keep the josh high. Best wishes : )

Good enough day. First half was slow. Electricity was not there, fan also stopped. Picked up the pace in second half.

Reviewing - all done barring case studies of gs 4.

Targets for April 7 (day 39)

1. GS 4 two rounds complete

2. GS 4 mock test

3. Meditation 2x

4. Having faith on God, considering it target on priority

Father sahab has shared a very meaningful and beautiful line in the evening. Not just the selection, but the year of selection is also important. Only later on, we can connect the dots well.

Good luck dostoen, keep studying : )

I am confused about white mutiny ...is there are one white mutiny or two white mutiny 

1. iLLbert bill controversy is white mutiny.

2.Revolt of European troops of East India Company against their transfer to the service of the Queen of England also a white mutiny


can anyone clarify it..?

 As per my notes:

  • White Mutiny: 1859-61--thelargest revolt the British army ever faced--European troopsoperating on behalf of the East India Company rebelled against their transfer to the service of the Queen of England.
    • during Lord Canning
  • White Mutiny 1883-1884
    • Illbert bill controversy

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! 

Hi, when is your CGL exam? Mine is on 20th. Also I don't have much Idea about the exam. But have been practicing mocks. Quant seems to be my weak area because I'm take lots of time in solving quant questions. So if you've any idea of the pattern or whatsoever can you tell important areas for quant which can help me get atleast few marks there ?

And how and from where are you doing Current Affairs for CGL ? 

I'm sorry to bother you, I know it's hectic for all of us. But if you can reply, it'll be of great help.

Thanks in Advance.
