@Qoqo what is 25 -5? I googled and it says 20! 🤔


It refers to Pomodoro technique in which you work for 25 minutes and rest for 5 minutes. Works really well for some people though it has never worked for me.

@iskool I have also been struggling with these. There are multiple sources from where you can read, banking websites have a huge list but for those in news, I am refering to Rau's Prelims Compass List and Vision PT365 List. Attaching just the image below, it is from their Science and Tech booklet.

My update is becoming monotonous - high target, low achievement :P
Attempted 4 Tests for SFG Modern India ->couldn't properly go over mistakes and this I have to do

Education, Press, Revolt of 1857 and Simon Commission done from Spectrum, 25% of FLT revised, read economics even though wasn't planned, missed out on Mapping

Targets for 29/08/2020:

1. Spectrum 1939-1947 

2. Spectrum Constitutional Development part and read appendix - Newspapers, Important trials etc

3. One Full Length Test and analysis (I hope so)

4. World Climatic Patterns - Revise

5. Revise the mistakes made in SFG tests

6. Try and sneak in 10-15 pages of Vision Society CA


Couldn't update yesterday as the low phase struck suddenly again. Could only read till end of INA Trials, gave one mock but didn't fully revise (this will be my downfall but I am really unable to analyse my attempts properly). Climatic Patterns, just read Koeppen and the basic types but the problem is with the vegetation in my case.

Have recovered a bit now, so starting again now, today will be about trying to catch up with earlier, complete the analysis from earlier, finish spectrum till 1947 and the appendix plus Vision Society Booklet.

somewhat, it gives you a reason to avoid work OR say feel satisfied every 25 minutes.

This question is to those who are clocking 9+ hours consistently - how do you manage to sit for long hours? I mean physically, how do you keep going? I max out at about 7-8 hours. Also been experiencing tremendous lower back pain of late due to continuous sitting. It's come to the point where I literally have to lie on the floor for relief. This shouldn't be happening at 23 years of age. 

@dwightschrute 


as soon as u wake up start studying as suggested by newyan sir(ab chahe 10 baje uth rahe ho ya 12 baje) no brush no tea bas splash some water on ur face and start studying

back dukh rhi hai toh ghumte ghumte padlo

neend arrhi hai to 20 mnt ka alarm lagake so jao fir chai banao aur pado

man nhi kar raha toh subject change krlo test dedo

bas yhi ilaj hai iska,keech lo ek mahina hai

Assessment: 

1) Ancient History- 12 page notes ✓

2) Nitin Singhania- section C (70%) ~✓

3) Pt 365 culture ✓

4) Spectrum × × ×

Pcs Mains specific:

1) Revised 1 geography optional test series 1/3rd. 

Wrote 2 answers in skeleton form. ✓ 

GS Answer ×

Map: Krishna and Kaveri drainage. ✓

Remarks

1) That was some 2 days timetable which I wrote yesterday. :P

2) Racing through to revisit every book. Glance through PDFs. Focus is on recognition. I certainly don't remember most of the things I read this night. 

After 10 days: Revision with focus on retention. And then if time permits. Revision with recall. Abhi to yhi Socha hai. Trial & error. There is no plan. There never was. 


30/8 

+ Spectrum - summary 

+ Post independent India NCERT 

+ Insights Mock

Kudos to you.
I have given up on PCS mains. Focusing on prelims only. 
I could not do both simultaneously. Will be just giving the mains exam for namesake purpose only.

@Raillife bhai 1 din me 1 pillar ho pa rha tha. Baki kuch ni hota tha fir. Apki efficiency sahi hai, target set kar lo ki pillar toh end karna hi hai. Usse fir 6 nahi toh 7 8 din me toh ho hi jayega . Pillar 5 is smaller and less relevant so usko ghaseet maar sakte ho. So on last day I completed 2 pillars 5 and 6.
