Half day checked answers of 18 vision tests.. 5 still left.. As have not attempted them yet (initial tests and test 23..science n tech)
Slept 3pm to 4 pm.. Wasted 1 hr to get up... So from 5 pm started revision of environment..
Plan to revise 1 day subject and then analyse test papers next day in batch..currently plan to do this way.. Lets see how many time I change it..
Now will study for mains optional upto 1 am hopefully..
Today lesson - after reading comments of 13th July performances by other thread members.. Realised that it is normal to have such off days..
And actually I am thankful to forum for providing such a platform in such time.. Where some r away from Delhi.. Some r away from libraries or coachings.. And Some r just away..

15th July review-
environment unit 1; 2 and climate change organisations done.. Plus optional target..wasted 1 hr in thinking of current affairs.. As used to do from next and factly.. Next stopped coming since Feb (Jan month they covered)..so to decide epic vs recitals vs vision for mains..
Lesson learnt - don't skip meals for fear of sleepy feeling.. if want to have proper output.. Its a long long journey...and a lonely one too.. And its fine to travel alone sometime..and its also fine to be scared a little..

26th July - ended up doing economics and insights eco questions.. Whole day did that.. And wasted 2 hrs on wats app and joining art of living - as never tried meditation.. Just know how to run or excercise.. Can't sit peacefully..
Lesson learnt - ek friend ko 5 min ka msg karne ke chakar mei 10 friend se Baat ho jatei hai on wats app..toh avoid that initial friend.. Jisko jaroorat hogi.. Call Kar lega.. Last Sunday also got wasted on wats app.. Solving marital problems of friend..will not repeat it

Review of July - utilised 60 percent only..will try to use 80 percent August.. Will cut down on wats app.. Wasted all Sundays on it..
Will start again today.. Took around few days off.. As family health issues.. Both in hospital - one for spine surgery 3rd time now..after Feb 2020.. Other for excessive alchohol-doctor ho ke bhi-kya he bolo aise ko...
So today will start..june current was left in mid only due to parents hospital thing.. So will complete tat today and then plan accordingly..
Schedule got messed up.. But jabh miss india runner up.. beauty peganat 90's rank nikal sakti hai.. Toh aur motivation milta hai.. 😂😂 Just kidding.. Respect for that girl..
Today target -
Done 2 hrs excercise
June pg86 to 122 current
Recitals part 1 June to Dec.. Will read first time..
Sor target is set in hrs...
Madness index level ( as per Sidhu sir) target - 7 /10.. Meaning its 10.35 am.. Target is upto 11 pm.. With 1 break for lunch.. So average shd come atleast 11 hrs..
Avoid audio books if giving this yr... Pehle students used to record audio of coaching classes.. Tapes and cassettes form mei mitle thei orn shops mei.. Tabhi admission form mei. Likha hota tha @ coaching.. No recording.. Now time changed with smartphones... Now they themselves video record and sells.. Started this trend by byjus in upsc.. Byju entered upsc after csat..
If u don't hv problem of dry eyes etc.. Then go traditional way.. Unless u r of instagram generation.. As they r habitual to them and can use them fully nd efficiently..
Issue is if audio mode u go.. U need to make notes.. As earlier students used to tune in all India radio at 9 pm.. And hear debates etc nd make notes.. Abh toh market mei summary he mil jatei hai..
Main thing is retention after 10 days.. And able to miminize text.. Audio mei kya highlight karoge.. Still u can try and see if atleast some points u could note down.. Or u can do tat if u dont feel to see books as near exam it happens
Yest review - done current June plus recital June to Dec half only.. Hrs slogged 11..lesson learnt shd hv started early mng..
Congrats to hotbloodprince n qoqo and others.. Best wishes to raillife n Dora nd others...
Creator of thread Sidhu ka no idea (he don't want me to call him sir.. So not addressing as sir)
Now I will be starting for mains.. Took so many days to get back to studies.. Also went on vacation..then emotional dramas at home and health issues of parents..
Also hobby etc sochne parege form bharne ke liyeh..half day might go in that..
Course is vast.. People selling and buying so many test series.. 28 tests.. 20 tests etc.. Yaha toh mere 10 he pure ho jayei.. Bahut barei Baat hogi...
Making strategy done.. Only 3 things need to be ensured -
1. Feet on ground.. Pt hua hain... Mains Baaki hai
2. Accept fact ke this year time is less for mains and prelims period got extended.. So don't try to run in a hurry.. Be realistic.. Remember ke mains padhe kaafi time ho gaya.. Toh kya.. Abh kya kar sakte hai. Woh dekho..
3. Shanti rakhna mind mei.. Not start and leave something in between.. Start.. complete... And then only move..
And @ root- sir - mere optional wala commerce ka thread kyu nahi work kar raha
And nadan parinda.. Seeing positive in every step is a key to success.. And I m sure u wont give up.. U r inspiration to all of us.. Optional geography.. Uff... Remember nandini (Bhatia) mam few yrs back with geo..geography do crushes many times..I wish whatever u choose comes as blessing to u in future..
Thank you for supportive words.. And hot blood prince.. I guess everyone has one or other problems before exam.. Just own problems looks big to most of us.. Untill we read or share abt each other problems.. Support groups are absent in India.. Like in usa series or movies.. And their concept of shrink.. Here Pagloh ka doctor - ( mental doctor) term is used..
Anyway trying to accept whatever happened.. And just wishing ke able to sustain myself untill 16th Jan 2021 financially.. And more importantly mentally due to breaking of trust.. Normally singles ke life mei.. Gf or bf breaks.. But seems My case different.. Others might be there also with similar situation of mine in past..
So I will also keep going.. Jada se jada clear nahi hoga.. Koi na.. Coaching class mei padha lenge.. Yah jabh tak woh nahi milega.. Tabh tak joh milega... Kar lenge whether teach personal tuitions to upsc students.. Or school students.. Or even security guard ke job ( as covid time most things went online) .. As will need to return money of friends.. Once tat will be done.. In 1 - 2 month max.. Then will start something with growth prospectus..
But untill 16th Jan.. Will just focus on mains..
Many will wonder y then write sad post.. Just writing it out and sharing here.. Helps..as most of us here with few years upsc experience.. Have lost touch with most of friends.. Ekdum call karke gaatha nahi Gaa sakte unko.. Libraries even if some opened.. Its risky affair to go unless no other option.. So here we share.. Hoping our stories might help each other in knowing ke problems are part of this journey.. Golden past we might hv left by choosing this field.. But past can't be changed.. Future can't be predicted.. Its just present we can make it count
Thanks to all forum members for support and special thanks to personal msg friend for showing more than support..no doubt few days got wasted of mine..
But finally over the shock today..took time to overcome issues of mind... Will start with 100 percent now..
No more anti anxiety medicines.. Threw out few remaining tablets which got on doctor prescription..
So target for remaining day is ethics and it will continue tomorrow also..
Really thank you guys and again special thanks to personal msg friend.. Will give u result..
