To people who have given attempt(s) before , how did you deal with illness during prep? I lose too much time because something or the other keeps happening ... I barely read the newspaper today and get very demotivated because I am falling behind and my plans are not working out because I keep getting sick
All this while I have been at home. So, it is not Delhi😅.
Simply not study as even if I try to my mind does not work plus feel demotivated.
So focus on giving rest to your body and let it heal. The quicker it heal the quicker you can get back to studies. Sleep as much as you can or catch up with some tv series, etc.
(And then i promise myself i will not slack off much when i get better)
That's what i do. Get well soon.
(Writing a little to vent off) - continuous headaches/migraine from last 2 weeks. Painkillers not helping. Yesterday found that my eyesight has weakened which were causing headaches. Specs upgraded but brain is still adjusting to suddenly improved quality of vision. Hope headache goes away quickly.
Lesson learnt - get your eyes checked every 6 months.
(Another post to vent out) : (
Could not sleep at night due to headache. Why migraine why? Why thou exist? I wish I had a punching bag and name it migraine and punch the hell out of it.
I miss the normal, sleeping peacefully, doing anything without headache. I think I was too greedy for the best that I did not enjoy the normal, the time when nothing was bad.
Did not pass state psc :(
Guys please suggest any funny /comedy anime /series/movies/youtube channels. Searching for something new to watch.
Just because the word “anime” is mentioned, I’m wanting to share what YT recommended me this morning and it is freakin’ awesome. Hoping you are aware of the DBZ universe. Enjoy!
I think every anime fan in india started with DBZ /Naruto /Detective Conan as these were the first ones to be introduced in India(if I remember correctly)
Thank you and everyone else too for recommendations !
This one is for those who are in college (ideally, final year). I'm periodically hit by a wave of panic and anxiety regarding how I'm going to manage both college and cse prep in the months that lie ahead. I'm occupied in sem exams since mid July till mid Aug. I'm not doing any cse prep since July. Funnily enough, not being able to focus on college exams bc of this anxiety so ruining both. Any helpful advice is welcome (brownie points if you're in the same boat).
Not in college now but was once. You can try this-
Divide your day into upsc /college stuff (some hours for college, some for upsc)
,or divide your week (into some days allocating it for upsc some for college stuff). Whatever suits you.
When studying college subjects forget (or try to forget) about upsc tensions (like this much to study, this subject to be read, is baar hoga ya nahi ) , when studying about upsc subjects forget college tension.
I found I could do more things if I had panicked less about how many things to do.
For college exams, give priority to basic and important stuff. Stuff your professors said is "important", pyq, etc. Read about Pareto Principle. Aim to get 70-80% marks/cgpa/.
Not a sure shot thing. Plus different things work for different people. I hope this helps : )
Hi friends,
So I have decided to move on from upsc preparation. It was impacting my health - mental and physical.
I have attempts and age left but I do not know if/when I will come back to chase this goal again. May be someday /may be never.
Thanks everyone for your kind suggestions and tips which you gave whenever I needed help.
It is difficult to stop thinking about something you have thought about and immersed yourself in hardwork for years.
On a side note : I think I can write a post/something on " What not to do for upsc". But then again who will read? And Why to scratch my old wounds and suffer pain again? Nevermind.
May everyone get fruits of their hardwork.
