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

Did anyone take Forum's eklavya course? I am a working aspirant. Didn't took coaching in the last 4 attempts. I am considering to take some courses to enrich my knowledge and maintain consistency.

DM me If anyone wants the Shubhra Ranjan crash course for Mains 2022. It also includes the sectional tests which are unattempted.They are extra and will be evaluated. So you get both sectional and full syllabus tests. Selling at a reasonable price

Out. Wasn’t expecting to be out this time. Anyway all the best everyone, give your best shot. Clearing prelims is a golden opportunity.

In. Second attempt, second Mains.

But in this exam, you can never be happy clearing any stage because - 

1. The whole process is so draining, all you can feel is relief.

2. For any small progress you make, there are so many good, hard-working, well deserving folks who don't, that things don't make any sense.

And you're left trying to fathom the insensitivity of the entire system.

Out. 

5th attempt. Had given mains two times.

Was scoring around 110 -115 in GS. This time CSAT let me down for the first time. 

Was in the same position last year but due to low GS score. I did everything in my hand, fully focused on SFG. But I guess I find new ways to sabotage my chances every year. 

Guys those of you who are giving mains this year, it is an opportunity sent by GOD to you don't miss it by any means. Leave no stone unturned. Best of luck and wishes.

Cleared prelims. 3rd continuous one.
I was highly disappointed after the mains debacle. I could hardly study for prelims but I guess whatever I studied for mains and less gap between mains and prelims helped a lot and cleared it comfortably. Now, lies ahead the golden opportunity to make it count. I felt no relief with the prelims result because after the mains21 result I've been rearing to write mains again.
I know where I messed up. Initially, I thought I did everything right but after the marks and some self-analysis of what I wrote, I could gather where I faltered.
As Captain Rogers said it in the end game "let's kill him properly this time.' Aspirants, let's write this mains properly this time.
Let's write this mains in such a way that we make ourselves ready to face new challenges ahead of this UPSC cycle. Enough of running around in circles and starting again from zero. This time let's break the monotony and clear it. Once and for all.
