Another disastrous day. Had headache the entire day and struggled to study. Attempted 2 tests but didn't revise, 20 pages of Vision CA done.
Target for 26/08/2020:
1. Complete the goddamn Vision Supplementary document (Culture is still left :( )
2. Revise the mistakes of tests given in the last 2 days
3. Finish Executive and Judiciary from Laxmikabt
4. Finish Mapping - Mountains + Passes + Rivers
Feeling really frustrated as unable to move into the next gear of studies.
As usual, didn't complete what was planned. Was able to finish Vision Supplementary and half of executive, gave Environment test and read some answers but still not doing enough. So, the backlog pile up continues.
Target for 27-08-2020:
1. Laxmikant - Executive remaining part, Judiciary complete, Ch 1 to 5
2. Revise Mrunal Pillar 3 and Agriculture Pillar 4
3. 1 Full Length Mock with revision
4. Mapping hope continues with same targets as above

Help- how to effectively learn mapping of national parks and wildlife sanctuaries?
and is there a comprehensive source to study Buddhism and Jainism topics?
To answer your first question, the ideal thing to do is to have your own notes or a comprehensive source of various protected areas in India (including their descriptions), categorised state-wise. With 38 days left, doing that would be unwise.
However, we can't give up entirely. So, I would recommend you to have a list of protected areas with you. I am attaching my own list here.

1. Google Maps is your friend.
2. Regarding the list, you can search for the various Biosphere Reserves in that list, proceed to World Heritage Sites, and read Ramsar sites selectively.
3. Give yourself multiple cues on how to recall that particular protected area effectively. For instance, search for Ranthambore in Google Maps. You can just hover around that area to notice that the confluence of Banas and Chambal is near that National Park. You would also notice that it is on the Rajasthan-Madhya Pradesh border.
4. If you find a very important fact, note it down in the primary Environment source you are using (preferably where that Park is mentioned in your source).
Hope this helps! :)

Hello Everyone
Hope you are all doing good. So my today's focus
- Economics survey
- Geography : resource and location part
- Government scheme: I am big time defaulter in it always find an excuse .
- Csat wise I think I will have to start solving comprehension.just one a day kind
I used to sleep like a dog. Slightest sound and I was wide awake now I am a sleepy head one find me crashing on couch kabhi bhi . In order to not feel guilty how irregular I am in my sleep cycle I call it power naps.
Previous day
Geography physiography of India partially covered so the economic survey part .
Mock was okay dokey scheme based test mein I perform bad.
Tempted by a new series but just turned blind to it and opened my performance sheet so it killed my every urge to watch that series.
See don't go comprehensively. I do understand the urge to go into details know it all kind . But see the deadline you need to have slot for revision you need to have slot for working on area where you are lacking.
Your main motto should be extract from what you already have absorbed and gained while refering standard source.
Regarding both of the question you must be solving test series revising current affair. While you do that name of parks and sanctuary must be reoccurring get hold of that. Also the test series waale team also ask something more related to the standard content you already have something to read about things.
Ps : jainism and Buddhism ke pointers beyond the standard thing that I should know I never read more because I know one rule I have to be Jack of all trades to clear this paper mastering would just push me down in the no. Of question that I would have attempted had I not concentrated on one topic too much.
Just a friendly advice because I am Pitara of mistakes.
