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

Yesterday was a good day. Finished my pending portions (except parts of Geo). After that took some hours of rest. Now only subject left is AMAC and some CA. Hoping to finish this in 2-3 days and then spend 2-3 days on random revision.
Targets for today:
1) Ancient and Medieval History
2) 2011, 2015, 2016 pending PYQs
3) Misc CA
PYQ - CSE 2020 Question
How to interpret the 3rd statement?:
1)in last 3 decades, steadily production increased.... (implying there is no fluctuation)
or
2)compared to 30 years ago, current figures are more.... (implying there could be fluctuations in between years)
I have seen several explanations - few interpreting the statement as 1 and few as 2.
I know this isn't the correct thread to post this, but I'm so tired man.
Year after year same range, narrow margins. Not even getting the chance to write mains despite preparing for it. The vagueness of questions kills me now to the extent that I'll think 5 times before marking Art 21 for right to privacy now!

I wasn't that close but what I've got is pretty unexpected. But whatever happened has already happened. I know it's not easy but try focusing on 5th of June, you're close. All the best!

Targets for May 31 (92) - targets repeat.
Was unsure about posting targets for now, upsc marksheet made the evening awful. Same marks for the third time. But need to carry on somehow. One friend rightly written here before - things don’t just happen on their own, they are made to happen.
Good luck dostoen, lots of love : )
@Weltschmerzz @Lawstice @ArchAngel96 thanks for kind words guys. :)
