Official : Post Daily Routine & Self Assessment (Mains 2020)

Whole day wasted because of headache.

Could do only 2 things: Newspaper and Book.

Newspaper:

1. Big reform on the wrong way

2. Hagia sophia (Vivek Katju)

3. Community canteens

4. Crime, definition and Ranveer Singh committee (Desh Deshantar)

Book: 2 chapters

Also there are 2 videos of neyawn on YouTube around this time (10apr) common mistakes in prelims and how to get better scores. They are pure work of genius.

Together these 3 are perfect startover guide.

All the best!

haha. for me there is consistency in wasting first half and then having a moment of OMG in evening, an then somehow pulling off just 5 6 hrs.
One good advice on this i got from neyawn that don't ever waste golden hour i.e. within 30 mins of waking up you must sit on table, and then have discipline of having a shift of 2+ hrs. and "to do list" that we create here is old good practice. 

22nd July review - day started after 1 pm.. Done optional. 2016 2017 papers.. Plus revised 2018 nd 19 optional papers.. Saw current related to optional.. Slept late.. Hate rains.. Makes me nostalgic.. 

23rd July - half day got wasted.. Will sit now for some productive hours.. 

6pm - 8.30 pm - shift 1

8.45 pm - 10.30 pm - shift 2

11pm - 1pm - shift 3

Target- become " mad " as per Sidhu sir revision strategy..aaj toh achieve nahi hoga.. Will see for tomorrow

Also waiting for epic magazine for June..makes me anxious to keep rechecking whether released or not.. Need to cut down on it..
