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

8th Nov
1. Start the day early
2. Newspaper, notemaking- wrap up quick + revisions
3. Vision monthly Sept
4. Env snt backlogs - prioritise
5. Optional notemaking

Not the best of days mostly on account of 1. So, pretty disappointed :/ 

Did most of the targets half heartedly, except 5. Hopefully tomorrow's better.

Realized it's either optional or GS day for me. Will try to pull off both for tomorrow, failing which I'll officially shift to either of them while setting targets for the coming days. 

Targets roll over; additionally awp of optional subtopics covered today. Also, actively try for an early start to the day!

Trying to get back on track, overall an unproductive day.

Targets completed on 8-11-21

1) Newspaper + daily CA

2) One ethics class

3) One PSIR class

4) Regionalism vision PDF

No stopping till June 5, must keep chipping away at the targets like chasing a 300+ total on the fifth day. Difficult-yes, Impossible-NO!

Targets for tomorrow (7 Nov)

Modern history 4 &5/5 

Answer writing Modern History

See wysk 

Class 7 history ncert 1/3

Newspaper

8 November

Most of yesterday's targets roll over to today. Was not well...studied in slow motion. Could only do a part of modern history and newspaper.

Rest will be covered today. 

Updates will be posted at night.

An hour of book reading of modern history left + a few fringe topics from Google etc. (Why r u such a giant modern history)

Rest everything done. Also did 2 videos of world history.

Hopeful that I will be able to wrap up modern history as well as art and culture and ancient history this week. 

I wish to cover entire GS for mains before I turn 25 next month 🙈. Sounds weird but I don't want to feel pathetic on my birthday... specially because I have not cleared prelims 3rd time straight and am clearly very poorly prepared for mains.

Good day today. Tried to make up for the lost time and productivity from yesterday. 

Did few topics of optional and awp, revised half of env notes, almost 1/3rd of sept monthly. 

Targets for 10th Nov- 

1. Newspaper backlogs 

2. Revise rest of env notes + update 

3. Optional IL subtopics revise and awp; notemaking of prev topics 

Controlling the urge of being overambitious and stuffing up additional targets. Let's see how the day goes.

Finished the maths portion but slacked off a little in Society. Will need a little time to get back to mains GS it seems. Will be analysing the PYQs to set the tone for Society before I go to sleep. 


Targets: 

  • Maths Optional Test 
  • Maths Test Analysis
  • If time permits, finish off today's leftover GS1 portion (1/4)

Finished the first two targets, not enough time to do Society. That'll continue tomorrow. Will revise LPP theory before I go to sleep. 


Oh and also, as if prelims 2021 wasn't enough already, my silly mistakes have come back to haunt me. Maths this time!


Targets: 

  • Finish LPP 
  • Society (2/4)

Very unproductive day today. Did sit for a certain amount of hours but couldn't finish either of the two targets. Timelines are rigid, need to buckle up. First bad day after the prelims setback. 


Same targets repeat.
