Self Rating:-8/10 (as read around 10 hours and completed ETHICS which has been an issue since long).
Improvements needed:-
1. No political discussions on "bekaar" topics. It helps nobody
2. No break for long time.
3. Include timings of 8am to 12pm and 2pm to 6pm in your studies with no movement from 9-12 and 2-5 as these timings are crucial for prelims.
Remarks:- Feeling Good after completing ethics(i know, i will have to revise it 10 times to internalize it.)
Quote of the day:-

woke up with fever. Tried meditation but could not sit due to fever.
slot 1 of studies- took paracetamol and rest
slot 2 - paracetamol worked. Completed slot 1 target of 40 page static economy studying
slot 3 - No exercise due to weakness. Read 10 pages and slept after having mother's home made recipe for fever cure
slot 4 - feeling better. Completed target of this slot i.e 40 pages of economy static studying and completed 50% of slot 2 target i.e 15 pages eco current affairs.
Total study hours - 6 hrs 30 min . Completed about 75% of study targets.
Future advice for myself- don't go out to enjoy when it rains and don't bath in evening if weather is rainy otherwise you will get fever again.
11th july targets -

1.00-2.00- Lunch+ Rest
2.00-4.00- Talked to friends(this time I talked unnecessarily and without any purpose )
4.00-8.00- Discussed March 2020 current affairs(4 hours)
8.00-9.00- Dinner
9.00-10.30- phone(home)
Self Rating-6/10(since studied 8 hours but completed only 60% of task)
Improvements needed:-
1. If u get up at 5am study atleast 10 hours or please dont get up just for the sake of it. Sleep well atleast you will have good memory.
2. Please do some yoga/meditation/Exercise for atleast half an hour. This will help you saving 4-5 hours of the day where you just keep pondering over something or you dont feel like studying.
3. If you seriously want to get into this competition please keep your phone switch off while studying. Noone is gonna die while u study.
4. There must be no use of internet in first half of study i.e, before 1 pm. Dont open it no matter what.
Remarks:- Below average performance because you got up today at 5am and didn't complete today's list. Moreover wasting a lot of time on phone is not going to fetch marks in pre/mains/interview.
quote of the day:-
11th july
Couldn't study due to personal issues for a long time, have to pick the thread from where I have left..im doing only prelims prep,
10- 1 current affirs
3-6 environment 2 topics
6-7 art n culture
7-8 revision of earlier topics
10-12pm current affairs
Review:
Tweaked the plan a little so that I'll finish current affairs till feb by next day. Due to long gap, reading slowly hope I'll pick up pace in the coming days.. I'll rate 7/10 , no of hours -8-9
On 5th june my plan was to cover for 1000 marks of mains before 4 oct. GS3, essay and optional! but now that i have taken luxury for over a month, that seems difficult. Although i still hold the idea of doing optional and gs3 before prelims. Half of august and sept is for prelims specific.
I'm weak in prelims, so my main focus in next 3 months will be prelims only - trying to do lot of mocks and quiz to increase my scores..
For mains, I'll start optional paper 1 preparation with tests next month - I'm confident of finishing it nand also reading current affirs specific to my optional so part of paper 2 will be done.. And weekly mains tests on current affirs I'll start soon that will be enof for gs2 n gs3..
Remaining I'll start after oct 4.

slot 1 of studies - 100% targets achieved
slot 2 of studies - 100% targets achieved
slot 3 of studies - 100% targets achieved

Total study hours - 8 hours.
12th july targets-:
1st slot - current affairs 3 hours
2nd slot - Mock Test for prelims and its analysis. 3.5 hours ( 1.5 hours attempting and 2 hrs analysing)
3rd slot - Current affairs 40 pages
4th slot - mock test and its analysis.
MS DHONI once said in an interview " i just focussed on my daily goals, i didn't use to think that i will play for India, i believed in giving my 100% during net practice and district level matches and that itself took me to the top."
Thus focus on your daily goals. Treat mock tests like real tests. Be like MS.
