The last 10 days have made it seem that prep is going in a different direction from where it needs to be. I'm in the process of making some changes right now, going to try to be regular here from now on. Also, need to wrap up a couple of loose ends and start prelims exclusive prep from February. All the best, good people of forum :)

Targets: 

• Economy Backlog 
• SFG Prep 
• Newspaper

A part of backlog remains, was able to complete the rest. Will pick up the backlog day after, when there won't be any SFG pressure. 

Targets: 

• SFG: Test + Analysis 
• SFG Prep 
• GS Mains Test - Last before prelims 
• Newspaper 
• If time left, finish backlog

Here's hoping everyone has a great week ahead :D

Finished all the mandatory targets except one. Have been through with around 75% of prep for tomorrow's test, will still try to pull it off before I end the day. 

Targets: 

• SFG: Test + Analysis 
• SFG Backlog - Finish 
• Maths T10 Analysis (1/2) 
• Newspaper 

First half went well but I slacked off in the second half. Procrastination breeds more procrastination. Was able to finish all targets except the backlog but I'm far from what an ideal prep routine needs to be like. 

Targets: 

• Finish SFG Backlog 
• Maths T10 Analysis (2/2) 
• SFG Prep 
• Newspaper 

Could not start mathematics and was not able to finish the required portions for today's test. Will have to improve productivity per hour to catch up. 

Targets: 

• SFG: Test + Analysis
• SFG Prep 

Edit: Had to change targets due to unforeseen circumstances.

Did both the targets but this wasn't all that was planned initially. Nevertheless, looking forward to a fun friday! 

Targets: 

• SFG: Test + Analysis
• SFG Prep 
• Maths T10 (2/2) - (Must do)
• SFG Backlog (preferable) 
• Newspaper

Celebornsaid

Targets for today:

1) Newspaper 

2) Mechanics 4 classes

3) CA revision 

4) Ethics

Political fever is on the rise with election season around the corner. Sometimes I get amazed with the level of political awareness people have in general. Opinions I form are usually social media driven or some readings of quality material but people with no access to digital media, amazingly, do know stuff from mere newspaper reading and discussions. Anyway moving to usual chores :D

The last 10 days have made it seem that prep is going in a different direction from where it needs to be. I'm in the process of making some changes right now, going to try to be regular here from now on. Also, need to wrap up a couple of loose ends and start prelims exclusive prep from February. All the best, good people of forum :)

Targets: 

• Economy Backlog 
• SFG Prep 
• Newspaper

A part of backlog remains, was able to complete the rest. Will pick up the backlog day after, when there won't be any SFG pressure. 

Targets: 

• SFG: Test + Analysis 
• SFG Prep 
• GS Mains Test - Last before prelims 
• Newspaper 
• If time left, finish backlog

Here's hoping everyone has a great week ahead :D

Finished all the mandatory targets except one. Have been through with around 75% of prep for tomorrow's test, will still try to pull it off before I end the day. 

Targets: 

• SFG: Test + Analysis 
• SFG Backlog - Finish 
• Maths T10 Analysis (1/2) 
• Newspaper 

First half went well but I slacked off in the second half. Procrastination breeds more procrastination. Was able to finish all targets except the backlog but I'm far from what an ideal prep routine needs to be like. 

Targets: 

• Finish SFG Backlog 
• Maths T10 Analysis (2/2) 
• SFG Prep 
• Newspaper 

Could not start mathematics and was not able to finish the required portions for today's test. Will have to improve productivity per hour to catch up. 

Targets: 

• SFG: Test + Analysis
• SFG Prep 

Edit: Had to change targets due to unforeseen circumstances.

Did both the targets but this wasn't all that was planned initially. Nevertheless, looking forward to a fun friday! 

Targets: 

• SFG: Test + Analysis
• SFG Prep 
• Maths T10 (2/2) - (Must do)
• SFG Backlog (preferable) 
• Newspaper

Finished all targets except SFG backlog. It seems as if I'm putting in less effort than what's necessary so I'm going to add a few things from february. Today will be a light day. 

Targets: 

• SFG: Test + Analysis 
• GS Mains Test Analysis (Must do)
• SFG Backlog (Preferable)
• Newspaper
