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

Finished both the tests and almost finished the test analysis (90%). Maths test showed how a lot more revision is necessary to be in a respectable position in terms of the optional. Will get back to these chapters in one week once I finish the first round revision. 


Targets: 

  • Revisit maths test, finish test analysis 
  • Revise PDE Theory 
  • Revise Geography (mostly diagrams)


Note to self: Never again give a test half prepared. 


Have a good day tomorrow, good people! :D

Couldn't finish the 2nd and 3rd targets on time. Guess I was too overambitious. Going to extend PDE by a day. Also, going to run some errands tomorrow so might lose out on a little time, will compensate for it later. 


Targets: 

  • Finish PDE Theory 
  • PDE PYQs (1/2) 
  • Finish Geography 
  • Revise Art & Culture (mains centric) 
  • Newspaper (haven't been able to find time for it since forever, let me try adding it here)


@Augustya_Shrivastava really appreciate you posting these tidbits of wisdom, looking forward to lots more :)

All targets accomplished. Not happy with the maths portion though, needs more work. 


Targets: 

  • Finish PDE 
  • GS Mains Test 
  • Finish IR Consolidation 
  • Newspaper 


Here's hoping everyone has a good productive Sunday tomorrow :D 

Except the IR bit, was able to finish off almost everything despite having to take a forced half day break. Did a few things I liked and I think I'm ready to start the next week on a high. 


Targets: 

  • Finish off PDE left over from today 
  • Numerical Analysis Theory 
  • GS Test Analysis 
  • Finish IR Consolidation 


Lots of work tomorrow, hoping to have a good day! All the best people! 

The day was okay in terms of hours but disappointing in terms of output. Did very little maths today and wasn't able to finish IR either. 


Targets: 

  • NA & CP (1/2) 
  • Finish IR 


Going to go heavy on mathematics tomorrow. The deadlines are coming closer!

The update is that I have fallen sick. Managed to complete some notes because it seemed manageable.

The note making moved at snail's pace which was expected.

Thanks for the nudge on YPT. I gained energy to do something.

Not going to push myself too much till I recover completely.

Will continue notes and study them if possible.

Take care, everyone.

So manysocio peeps peeps here😮. I smell a golden opportunity. 

How about we solve the pyqs? 5 questions everyday-6 days for one paper(considering 28 questions).

Everyone can pick one year, either Paper-I or Paper II a/c their convenience. This would ensure impartiality and coherence of effort. It won't matter if you have studied the particular topic or not. You can google the answer for all that matters. The goal is to have a skeleton of points. No need for coherence in format of answers either-It can be pen-paper or one-note or power point for all I care. I can do the extra heavy-lifting to bring the coherence. 

We can also do resource-sharing, discussion or anything socio-related. This will hopefully help us a lot with mains in the coming months as we can later peer review etc 😤

We can develop more rules of the game as we go along but बस काम होना चाहिये।

Will make a telegram group for further conversation so we don't hog this space. DM for the link.

Interested to join. Will DM some questions and suggestions I have.
