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
@Steph_Curry 12000 steps?
Walk. 🚶🚶🚶
Starting fresh, though I will not be able to study maybe till one week. But after that I want to be regular with some ruthless discipline. I will post here to gain some sense of accountability by trying to accomplish my target before the deadline.
will be posting broad target/ sectional target / daily study hours/test marks etc. I will rate myself daily on a scale of 0 to 10 (on the basis of my efforts). Most probable will get back to study from 7th Feb.
My broad targets :
1.) Till 14th Feb : Ethics (including 4 test+revision)
2.) 15-17 (social issues)
3.) 18-20 (governance)
4.) 21-23 (env and DM)
5.) 24-26 (WH,PI,A&C)
6.) 27-28 (IR & security)
7.) 2-5 (economy)
8.) 6-9 (geography)
9.) Intensive tests.. 10-20
10.) From 21 March (Prelims +Till 3 April daily 3 hours for essay)
11.) After 3 April: only prelims (GS+CSAT+English(as I need to improve this :P))
@Steph_Curry my bad. Fomo kicked in and I thought it was some prelims course offering same stuff with different name.
Funny how are minds get wired to think about everything from the perspective of our preparation..
Hahaha.. Fomo is real !!

At this rate, I'll not be surprised if we have a prelims test series with 120 tests named '12000 steps' few years down the line!
sjerngal,Caffeinitysjerngal,sjerngal,
Finished all the targets (almost) except 10 pages of backlog, will finish it tomorrow. Today's match was just another instance of what we can achieve if we work towards it come what may. I have always been team Federer but Rafa never fails to inspire!
Targets:
- SFG: Test + Analysis
- SFG Prep
- Polity Revision (1/2)
- SFG Backlog
- Newspaper
Will also have to figure out a plan tomorrow for the next four months. You don't realise how time flies and you're back to where you were before the blink of an eye. Have a good day people!
Did not start polity, finished rest of the targets. A good November had followed a very unproductive December, In January I have picked up a little pace but there's a long way to go if I have to be at my best. Hoping this new month helps us all bring out our best, only four months to go now!

The story of elephant and dog, both got pregnant, by the end of year 1 dog already had more than a dozen puppies while elephant was still pregnant. Dog asks to elephant are you even pregnant? Elephant gracefully answers What I am carrying is not puppy but an elephant.
Moral: Don't lose faith and hope when you see other's prayers getting answered and don't be envious of other's testimony. Be hopeful, focussed and hardworking.

2 weeks of SFG are over. I have done stuff but very hard to say if I am confident with what I have done. Now I can feel what happens when you drop your guards for one year and go back to start again. You expect alot from yourself.

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
