Yesterday's Review updated in OP

26/10 

Newspaper

Optional test prep Anat Continue+biochem+1/2 physio atleast. 

Society- Not more than 1 hour Max. See if test can be done if optional permits. 

CA Class. 

Notes--

Prioritise optional over everything for now. You don't remember anything from it. 


Something interesting I learnt today: 

"Shampoo" the word has it's origin in Indian languages word "Champoo(champi)"  taken by British civil servants from India. They loved the Champoo so much it became a chain of salons in london and word shampoo came in common use. (Got to know by some Shashi Tharoor's YouTube video)

@sadhika since you did test series at Shabir sir

Do you think that it os enough for content enrichment

Yes, in some ways if our base is strong with reference books, notes. It can always be value added through CA or some geography specific magazine (only if there is time). Rest, I would be in a better position to comment only after writing the papers.

Pretty bad day. Could not focus on the optional, and had decided that optional before anything. So other things got compromised also. Wasted time more than using productively.

Koi na, We fall to get back again. Let's make tomorrow a great day. 


27/10 

10-1 : Anat 

1:30-3:30: Wrap up anat and start Bioch

04-4:45- Newspaper

5:00 to 9 : Wrap Biochem max by 9 (1 hour extension) 

10- 1130 CA Class. 

12 - 03- Physio

Society on hold for now. Optional test to be given before 29th. 

Hope you have a productive day. :)

*Not getting overwhelmed by the syllabus or upcoming tests or materials or by anything is the key. But at the same time not getting delusional by forgetting the no of days vis-à-vis volume of work is equally important.

jog XX
slot 1: Optional- Contemporary western philos √√√√√

slot 2:  Optional- Indian philosophy(restart from zero, lots of scope to improve there) XXXXX

slot 3: Geography - world

slot 4: geography- CBP

slot 5: Newspaper and CA issue based.

ps: For self accountability, in every 100min will make a picture map of what i have learned in those 100 mins. Read somewhere about it and definitely i need to improve my picture memory to have a better hand-head coordination in tests. Hope for 6+ PMs for the day!
