For current affairs, I am going through important articles of The Hindu and Explained page of Indian Express. Apart from this, I am listening to Mrunal's daily newspaper summary. For notes, I am following multiple sources like Insights Daily CA, Civilsdaily Editorial Summary, Sleepyclasses, Rau's IAS, Shankar IAS daily news summary videos.

Doing multiple sources but in this way, I am getting multiple dimensions and approach towards the important articles of the news and it becomes easy to take notes and retain them. 
This takes almost 3 hrs daily.

@chitti19 Yes, this is becoming a bit time taking but I want to finish the syllabus quickly and then revise it multiple times. Also, I am only sticking to Sleepy Classes videos and reading Ritzer/Haralambos correspondingly. For thinkers:

Ritzer:

  • Chapter 2: Karl Marx
  • Chapter 3: Emile Durkheim
  • Chapter 4: Marx Weber
  • Chapter 10: Symbolic Interactionism
  • Functionalism and Neo Functionalism from other chapters.

Haralambos:

  • Chapter 0: Introduction
  • Chapter 15: Sociological Theory (pages 953-998, 1013-1015)

I think this much content along with Sleepy Classes videos can be done in a week.
