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

Bye bye newspaperIt was a good day, but the problem with the good days is that they are most probably followed by bad days.
1, 2, 3, 5 done. 4 partially done. Couldn't resist the temptation of newspaper, more than FOMO, the nature of newspaper reading(no need of memorizing things) makes it attractive.Bad health, first day managed 80% of targets, second day only newspaper done and some GS(but no concentration).
Today:
1) Newspaper - done2) Essay videos and brainstorming
3) GS: Finishing Ethics notes
Answer writing and optional if only the above targets get completed.
Two days gone:1st, 2nd done and 3rd almost done.
