2. Hagia sophia (Vivek Katju)

3. Community canteens

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

Book: 2 chapters

Review 21st July 2020

Wasted second day today
have nothing to say in self defence, I must have more control on my body and mind


No problem. Happens to everyone. I suggest one article to startover

https://blog.forumias.com/60-days-prelims-preparation-in-times-of-corona/

Sets well in the time that we have now, brilliantly written by our very own sinha sahib.

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!

21st July review-

1st slot - current affairs for mains (2.5 hrs , 90% target achieved)

2nd slot- Geography static revision (1.5 hrs only , 40% targets achieved)

3rd slot - studied 1 hr only ( current mains revision)

4th slot- geography static revision (3 hrs , 100% targets achieved)

Total Study hours - 8 hrs   Targets achieved- 75%

Need to avoid distractions. Even if it starts flooding outside due to rain i won't care unless water comes inside my house.

22nd July Targets -

1st slot - Geography static revision of Deserts, Biomes , Climate types of world, Clouds (3 hrs)

2nd slot - Current Affairs for Prelims ( 30 pages , 3 hrs)

3rd slot - current affairs revision for mains (1-1.5 hrs only)

4th slot - Geography static revision most probably maps. (3 hrs)

Need to do some deep work now. Concentration has to be increased which can only be done through meditation and exercise. Atleast 5 hrs of study with laser beam focus and rest with normal concentration level.

@HotBloodPrince no personal reason bhai....overthinking and not feeling like studying....had never studied ncert but thought this year i will read it for prelims but from inside i am not fully convinced of its benefits so am unable to implement it

@Siddhurules ok. You may directly pick up singhania man, I found tn ncerts a bit overhyped (but I had read old ncerts before reading them). Marks toh singhania se hi banne hai jo thode bahaut art n culture me banenge.

@HotBloodPrince there were 2 questions directly from NCERT(Themes in Indian history waala) last year and 2-3 from Tamilnadu(although 1 was vague) and i had read Tamilnadu many times but could not do the questions. So m a bit confused about it

Does it happen with anyone that when first half goes well , second half is ruined and when second half goes well next day first half is ruined . By ruined in mean lack of concentration or energy . How to balance both

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..
