Hello everyone!
I am posting something here after about 1.5 years. Left preparing for UPSC 2021 last year, skipped prelims, tried to work a bit more on optional (math), and giving the exam this year (2022).
Got to revise static portion quickly, and take a lot of mock tests, to avoid repeating the mistake I made in 2020 pre. Any advise on my daily routine/targets will be welcome, and I thank you in advance for showing concern for me.
Today's target -
100 pages of Modern India (Spectrum) - Dunno whether will be able to complete this till 3 am, till now I have done only 15 pages :(

Forgot to update yesterday-
Did 40 pages day before yesterday. - Not a very good day
And 70 pages of Modern India yesterday.
Dunno how to speed up the reading of modern India. I keep getting stuck at the facts, there are just so many names, dates and events in the religious reform movements chapter and the revolts before 1857 chapter.
Also, I noticed that they updated quite some movements and personalities in the new spectrum (2020 edition) since 2019 edition, and 2018 edition. (I have both, as I bought a new spectrum after the old one became tattered)
Any suggestions, whether I should buy and read the new one, or continue with 2019 edition would be welcome.
Terrible day yesterday. Going to Make sure that yesterday was the last such day till prelims.

28.02.2022 Updates:
Newspaper done
42 pages of Modern India (Was going through Spectrum appendix, so took some time, as the material is quite dense)
Sleep disturbed again, slept at 4:30 am yesterday :(
Procrastinated a bit too :(
Today going to finish spectrum appendix in 1-2 hours, and give a vision full test, after newspaper reading (done).
Happy Maha Shivaratri everyone! Har Har Mahadev!
I gave test 24 of vision (full test). Didn't score too well though :(
Road is 1010m long, there are 100 gaps to be filled between 101 plants, hence each gap is 10.1m wide. Now, between 5 consecutive plants, there are 4 gaps, thus total space = 4*10.1 = 40.4
