Official : Post Daily Routine & Self Assessment (Mains 2020)
Great to see the enthusiasm :) Just one thing I would want to say - Guys, don't pick any new source in the last moment. Trust me, in past 10 years it has never happened that someone has picked up a final compilation and all questions have come from there.
Focus of Previous Years Papers, Books and Whatever Test Series / Papers you are doing. In the end we have to revise such that we are turning the pages only.
While having food, turn the pages of PYQs with the confidence that you know everything. And by 20th also revise your CSAT PY Questions and resolve the questions.
P.S. This is the last moment.

Haha, so if you have read the monthlies its better to stick to what you have read. 365 is a compilation of monthlies removing duplication.

Dora-the_Explorer,
@TwoFace dear Hydra u r crrct smtimes i feel these current booklets just add burden and people in rat race r forced 2 cover thm mindlessly!
Yes..... Just putting the burden. CA is a thing u can't study in isolation. You have to relate with it to remember...... Many times one need to follow up that concept to plug all the loops...... It's tedious. We tend to forget the boundry, where a full stop is required.....
Here only these compilations comes in picture. They tell us to stop but in return concept building and small things we tend to ignore..... And the fact is mostly Simple things are asked...... In actual ppr.....
We then regret that I have read this but that small thing I missed and that was the question.......useless!!
I have an intuition that UPSC takes some popular CA material from market..... And frames questions to bypass them......
Dora-the_Explorer,Dora-the_Explorer,@iskool last para of your comment is confusing can you explain..did you mean that upsc dont ask from any of the magazines they simply ask from something orginal like pib prs newspapers
Ignore boss..... It's my personal opinion. Not possible to conclude logically.

Struggling with two exams (pcs mains in last week September). Royally messed up everything in last 3 (6/ 9/ 12 ??) months. I am no where in syllabus completion, practice, confidence. As if I have hit rock bottom. Feels like drowning most of the time.
Have reasoned with myself. Why be a burden on your own self, why pull your own self down.
Now is the time to take back control. Putting up a fight in last month. Maybe everything will turn out good. No more SWOT, asset- risk analysis of past present future. Irrational optimism from now.

Dora-the_Explorer,
29/08/20.
The situation I was dreading about has hit me today. I got burned out.
I was at crossroads – choosing either to continue studying to the point of exhaustion or to take the day off. I chose latter. Since 2pm, I did not read/do anything remotely connected to this exam.
I learnt that Chadwick Boseman has passed away. I admit that I had no knowledge of his work apart from his role in The Avengers franchise. So, went through his profile on IMDB to stumble uponMarshall (2017). What better way to honour a person's life than to celebrate his/her work?
Watched the movie; admired Boseman's work. More importantly, was inspired by the work of Thurgood Marshall (1908-93). Spent a good time of my day-off researching about him. And then, a thought struck me.
Why do I only get to know about people's work (and admire them) once they are gone? Chadwick Boseman is a case in point. Closer to home, I only got to know about the work of Leila Seth once she has passed away in 2017 and when Mint reported on it. I learnt that she had published On Balance,her autobiography way back in 2003. When I completed reading that book, I was both happy and distraught. Happy because she remains a beacon to many young girls across the world; distraught because I learnt about her in 20–SEVENTEEN.
Spent the rest of my day having a face-to-face conversation with my childhood friend for three hours on the terrace. A day well spent. :)
--
Target for tomorrow: Pick where I have left off. Get on with those Current Affairs.
Hopefully, this rejuvenation will help me in my productivity.
29/08/2020:
Caught cold today. Everyone in family got panicked whether I've corona. But I guess it was AC. I'm fine now.
Could only revise Economy. Then rest for the whole day. Also some CSAT questions.
Shifted myself to another non-AC room. Need to get used to exam conditions from now onwards. And also need to take care of health, especially precautions against corona.
Same target for tomorrow. Revise everything atleast once. Mock test on Monday.

When you are at top remember you are not alone. when you are at bottom remember you are not alone....this doesn't mean you should feel happy or sad, it simply means you have to get better and there is always a place where you can start....
by looking at the plan..... congratulations if you are capable of achieving it ....but one must remember that we overestimate what we can achieve in one day and underestimate what we can achieve in long run..... sustainability always wins...
best luck.....sab thik hoga..👍
