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

@naviiin for highlighting and copying text, Documents (by Readdle) is the best imo.

First time posting targets. Let’s see how it goes. I am moving to my hometown on 31st so won’t get much time. 

Today’s target:
1. Revise new notes from Plato to Kant.
2. Revise old notes of Hegel.
3. Write philosophy test.

Hi, I am so grateful for this community and all your comments . I wrote prelims 2021 and not clearing the exam, I was confident I will do it this time but my lack of enough practice I suppose is the reason for my failure . It is getting very difficult to keep up the pace for 2022, pressure, uncertainty is building up for future plans. I am new to this space and looking for a dedicated peer group who is willing to give everything to the 2022 attempt for the last time. I never had. any peer group and alwys lacked a community to discuss my goals and hindrances with. My optional is PSIR. Any suggestions?

Ahh, home for the next one year. Hello fellow travelers. Good luck to you all. :')

Plan:

  • show up everyday
  • be honest
  • leave the place better that what I came to

Targets for tomorrow Day#1

  • The Hindu
  • Setup the new mac (yayay)
  • Integrate all the notes, indexes, etc into one place and sync up everything
  • Finish 70 policies that shaped India
  • 2 questions minimum to be written

@Aanand142 I think it will be difficult to coordinate taking tests together since I am juggling gs test series along with optional. But I will be happy to discuss doubts, test questions or PYQs.

@necromancer thanks for suggesting Documents by Readdle.

I was looking for the Hindu, read highlight scribble and by evening delete.

I have done all the relevant NCERTs for Geography, prepared it with the Atlas and the works, what do y'll think about GC Leong? Should it be taken up too? I'm a little on the fence regarding this, considering Geography is relatively less important especially for the Prelims

Keep revising ncerts... Rather than going for gc leong, if you have time and you want to study some more, maybe u can try reading class 9 and 10th ncert..  And if you really want to read gc leong, then don't read it cover to cover.. You can use it for topics that are difficult to understand from ncert.. 

After u feel u have revised enough.. Solve pyqs.. See if you were able to solve the questions or not.

If there is a link for YPT Group, kindly share. Otherwise let's make a group for CSE2022 And get on with it.

YPT for CSE2021 helped a lot of people in clearing pre.
