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
Nothing to be proud of but I hope my journey can give some solace to others who couldn't clear prelims this year. I finally cleared prelims this year. It's my 6th attempt. I've already (sorta) give up this journey, gave my prelims lightheartedly, just to confirm it's not meant for me. I was barely preparing for it due to various commitments, didn't even check my marks from various keys, but voila! it's the year I've finally cleared. To all the good folks who couldn't clear prelims this year, I know that feeling, trust me (I've experienced it 5 times). But don't be too harsh on yourself. There's always next time. Just make sure you stay on track for next year prelims.
