Hey Everyone, I'd love to know your views on this:

1. How to improve Efficiency while Studying?

2. How to avoid the Perfectionist Trap, and Curiosity Rabbit Hole?

In past 3 days, I have spent

1. 6 Hours on 'Senior Citizens' (Vulnerable Sections)

2. 4 Hours on American Revolution

This left me with no time to do any other topic. At the end of those hours, I had super concise notes on both topics, yet genuinely felt like that meme: "I've won..But at what Cost"?

@LetsGetThisBread My friend advice me this time ki bhai PG kr lete hai apne apne optional se ya kisi bhi subject me bus PG honi jarui hai.. So i said OK.. 
To be specific CUET PG ME kuch programme bhare hai.. Admission ke liye. 


Bhai yahi par mai ek unsolicited advice dena chahunga jo mujhe bhi mili thi but maine maani nahi and abb mai heavily regret kar raha hu. Marzi ho toh consider karna ya fir you can chuck it off altogether.

If you are considering doing masters, I would suggest ki open se karo rather than kisi regular college/university se. Because regular course ke khoob chochle hote hai for eg, attendance, internals, assignments and what not. Inn sab mei kaafi time chala jaata hai and CSE ki tyaari ka satyanaash ho jaata hai. Also, naye naye log bhi contact mei aate hai toh usse bhi kahi na kahi asar padta hai.

Mai bhi 2020 mei join kara tha kisi ek central university ka regular masters course and meri tyaari has gone for a toss tbh. Prior to 2020, meri preparation rock solid chal rahi thi but masters ki vajah se sab gadbad hogaya.

Ek example deta hu apne case ka. Mere course ka last sem ka exam iss saal ke mid May se leke first week of June tak thay and side by side June 5 ka prelims bhi tha. I was planning to skip this year’s attempt but mujh par pressure bana ki iss saal ka attempt dena hai kisi bhi haal mei, so I decided ki college ka last sem drop karunga. Abb yeh realisation aayi drop karne ki, prelims se 30 dinn pehle, so mere paas Pre ki tyaari karne ka limited time tha. Iss limited time mei mai GS  paper 1 ka max tyaari kar paaya but csat ko dhyaan nahi de paaya, and vohi hua jiska darr lag raha tha, 5 June ko GS1 ka sahi gaya but csat mei tabiyat vala fuck-up ho gaya.  Abb na hee mains likh paa raha and naa hee degree hath mei aa rahi iss saal. :/

So inn baato ko consider karna decision lete huye. I’m saying this because I’m assuming you are trying to take admission in some regular course as you mentioned CUET.

Agar CSE ki tyaari aur regular course ke chochle ek sath manage kar paao toh boht hee Badia but aisa rarely hota hai. Mera course kuch aisa hai ki meri class ke 50 baccho mei se 45 bacche consider/want to give CSE but course hee itna hectic hogaya ki unn 45 mei se mujhe mila ke 1-2 aur hee hai jo college mei hone ke sath sath attempt bhi diye hai CSE ka, baaki 42-43 logo ne seedha kaha ki course complete hone ke baad hee attempt dengay kyuki time hee nahi milta tyaari karne ka sahi se, so I hope issey tum ek effective decision le paao. :)

@morsmodre hey can u suggest some good source for world history?


What's 'good' depends on the kind of proficiency you're seeking I guess.

Speaking for myself, I looked at Arjun Dev NCERT, and coaching materials (Vision, Forum CBP, Vajiram), and realized I didn't have the mental faculty to read them. Also, they have topics like Feudalism, Enlightenment, etc, that were relevant in the broader context (as contributing factors to some events), but not as a Standalone topic that could be asked.

So, Scoured around, and found this:https://www.clearias.com/world-history/

Reading through American and French revolution, I could recall some of the things I had studied in 9th, 10th in History NCERTs, so I'm sticking with it.

So, what I'm doing is:

1. Read Wikipedia introduction, focus on causes & impact

2. Read Clear IAS article, focus on causes & impact

3. Glance through Shreyansh Kumat Notes (24 pages ones) to see if I missed any point.

Hope this helps
