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

First two targets finished. I got greedy and did a lot of 'enrichment' in society which took longer than I had assumed. Not a 'light' day like I had thought. Postponing it now, need to get back into maths mode first!


Targets: 

  • Finish Real Analysis Theory 
  • Real Analysis PYQs (1/2) 
  • If bored, do A&C Mains Consolidation

Not a good day despite putting in decent no of hours. Productivity & concentration issues made me only complete 75% of maths theory of which I'm not sure how much I've actually understood. Apart from that, did some A&C consolidation and then did IR consolidation. Both will continue in the future, side by side. Targets repeat. 


Targets: 

  • Finish Real Analysis Theory 
  • Real Analysis PYQs (1/2)
  • Geography Mains Consolidation (1/2)



@Muffin Hoping that you get well soon. Things will be okay, take rest and come back stronger :)

Finished the targets but not happy with my understanding of this maths chapter, will have to devote extra time in the second round of revision. 


Targets: 

  • Real Analysis PYQs (2/2) 
  • Complex Analysis - Theory Revision
  • Geography Mains Consolidation 

Completed the targets but not happy with my day. First half was good but second half was just mechanically reading things, don't know how much have I actually absorbed. 


Targets: 

  • Finish Complex Analysis PYQs 
  • Modern Algebra PYQs (1/2): Theory will have to wait till second round, test is coming 
  • Try to finish post Independent India

Have been forgetting to post targets since 2 days, mostly as I clubbed the targets for 2 days as few of them were ambitious. Could do the GS, Optional bits. Haven't touched the newspaper since 2 days, will do the backlogs today. 

1. Newspaper backlogs

2. Agri, land reforms value

3. Finish what remains of sept monthly

Some of the newspaper backlogs remain. But was able to do the rest.

1. Whatever remains of agri + eco value add

2. Optional - IL + awp

3. Newspaper

Changed my targets half way through the day. Done with eco and agri almost and didn't touch optional today. First half was great, but most of the second half was spent being distracted over nothing. :P But, glad won't have to do Eco tomorrow. 

1. Social justice/Polity value add (if possible)

2. Optional - High priority

3. Newspaper
