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
- The air circulation over the oceans in the middle latitudes is mainly anticyclonic [Sub-tropical High Pressure Belt] (more pronounced in the southern hemisphere than in the northern hemisphere due to differences in the extent of landmass). The oceanic circulation pattern also corresponds with the same.
- At higher latitudes, where the wind flow is mostly cyclonic [Sub-polar Low Pressure Belt], the oceanic circulation follows this pattern.
can someone please explain me these two points
Targets for May 13 (day 74)
1. Mains (3/10) - Newspaper backlog April 25 - May 13; Miscellaneous
2. pranayama, zumba
3. household chores
God is great. Good luck dostoen, lots of love : )
Could not study much. Lot of household work was there. When one is skipping an attempt, friends and relatives also give third world trivial assignments.
Targets for May 14 (day 75) - day off. Leaving for favourite place, janambhoomi Barolla. Family ceremony is due.
From day after tomorrow, I would ensure no more excuses. Already feeling excited to come back in loop. My ut psc prelims is due on June 26.
Good luck dostoen, study well. These days would always remain memorable for all of us. It’s pointless to be free like me beyond a point : D
@Pantheon hiw doyou go about PYQs,look at old paper as a whole or study topic wise.What is the best way to utilize them?
Paper as a whole. Topic wise study may not yield good results except for say most important ones like FR, FD,DPSP, economic terms and concepts
Civils Mains:2017,2018,2020,2021,Forest Mains:2021.
Hello..
This year due to some personal family reasons I was unable to read any basic standard books of upsc like polity, spectrum etc..
But now as I am giving vision test series flt(80-120), vajiram flt(100s), insight step up series(95-100).. I have a score of around 80s-110s in different test..
Now I am really confused should I give prelims this year or not??
I have already given 4 attempts and never cleared prelims once..
Last year I was having better scores in test series.. But on d day I become anxious and end up in failed attempt..
One way my mind says itna pad pad ke gaye 3 saal.. Result nil bate sanata hai.. Ab de do.. And another me thinks for remaining only 2 attempts...
What should I do??

In my view, you are very likely to clear prelims, but of course there is always an element of uncertainty in prelims. If I were in your place with such scores, I would have gone for the prelims.
Additionally, try giving last 5-10 years actual UPSC prelims papers to get into the flow.
