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
Started prep in Jan-2022.
Put everything into PRE preparation ONLY. Got 80.00 in both vision and vajiram key- GS and 117.XX in CSAT.
Feeling Quite upsetbcoz I had a condition with myself that if I clear PRE this time then only I may expect mains next time. But the scene seems bleak (as I am not good in answer writing; maths optional wala).Need some GYAAN.
Now devoting 11hrs= Current 3.5hrs+ Optional 3.5hrs+ GS 4hrs targeting 2023. Is it good? feasible? any modification needed? (Considering my not-so-fond-of-GS subjects attitude)
Devoting 11hrs daily with no immediate exam isn't sustainable
Secondly, 3.5 hrs for current isn't required imo. Read newspaper daily and keep noting things which you think might not be covered in pt365
@jassikamboj16303 try uniball air micro and Pental
We had a pen thread too. Would love to see it haha
@jassikamboj16303 : I used Uniball Air Micro, ticks all the boxes. Just one little issue, mains sheets are a bit glossy and not like your regular A4 paper, so the pen takes that little bit more to dry, maybe 5-6 seconds extra. So after turning the page I had to be a tad bit more careful during the first 2-3 lines so as to not smudge the previous page.
Also maybe the weather had some effect, peak Delhi winters plus rainy conditions.
Yesterday all targets completed, except CA revision.
Today would be keeping things light.
1) Test analysis + Discussion
2) CA revision
3) Weekly review + plan for next week
Didn't do 2
Targets for today:
1) Ethics theory
2) Toppers copies ethics
3) Newspaper
4) CA class + revision
5) Daily Answer Writing
Feeling overwhelmed already by the sheer amount of work left 😅

Archand,
What is the next step in the registration process for Mains 2022? Do we have to re-register for mains on a portal? If yes, by when is such a portal or notification expected to come?
Excuse me for being naive, this is my first Mains and I don't want to miss any registration related formality in the rhythm of preparation.
Do not worry. You will be duly notified through text msg and mail from UPSC. Keep checking them. Last year, DAF 1 came around 40 to 45 days before mains.What is the next step in the registration process for Mains 2022? Do we have to re-register for mains on a portal?
