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

Hi

Since I started my prep two months ago (after a gap of almost an year), the thought of everybody revising numerous more times than me is making me anxious while reading anything. 

I guess posting here brings me the needed courage. 

Target before sleeping today : 

September factly complete (have done till sci and tech)

Art n culture (Handicrafts and performing arts) 


24/8/20 :

3 Environment CA classes  (9 - 1)

Eco CA class notes revision (2 - 4.30)

Art n culture ( SFG syllabus) (5.30 - 8.30 + 9.30 -10.30) 

Phone (10.30-11.30)


Sent CA pdfs to the loved ones( ca class notes to sibling and factlies to girlfriend) and asked them to ask me questions when (if) I talk to them.

Review 23/8- slept at 3 after completing almost the target for Nitin Singhania, still couldn't touch September Factly

My anxiety is taking a toll on me. Read Neyawn's article today, felt good. But the fear of opportunity cost and what-ifs are being curbed every day by the warrior-Me. 

Review 24/8 

Environment classes - only2/3 done

Economy CA classes notes - Eco survey - revised butBudgetleft

SFG - Indian Architecture -done 

Planning to streamline targets, time table, and inner emotional haywire within 2 3 days. 


Targets for 25/8/20(increasing number of slots - more number of tasks keep me in battle mode)   

Environemnt classes - 10-1:30

Complete September Factly + revise rest Economics CA - 2:30 -3:30 

Nitin Singhania - SFG syllabus  4-5 + 5:30 - 8:30 

Shankar environemtn - 9:30 - 10:30 

Break + Mobile - 10:30 - 11:30 

Revise Environment notes + Shankar till sleep - 11:30 -

@Philosking Hi, thanks. It's good. 

Just a suggestion...instead of having one correct tab, Divide 'correct' and 'incorect' in three subcategories - Sure shot, 50:50, and Calculated Guess (All amounting to correct and incorrect in the end) - providing accuracy for all three sub categories. I am hoping it won't make much time (speaking from my almost negligible knowledge of html coding) 

It'll be of great use then.

Guys ignore the fruitlessness of the timing of the question :


Please let me know if there are any good notes of medieval I can do in this short time (that can be revised at least once)

I've read ncert a year before but not anywhere near to remembering stuff

Varna I'm going with lucent. Please recommend if you've already read both (ncert and the notes) to be able to make a comparison. 

Thank you

Hello! Hope everybody's prep is going well. 

Can anyone share a pdf of the OMR sheet similar to one provided by UPSC. I waste a lot of time in filling the OMR and make many errors. Last time in desperation, I used my adhaar card's laminated corner to remove one wrongly filled bubble (Yeah stupid? tell me about it!) and tore the sheet a little. 

I recommend people who are not very fast, to practice OMR filling. It might give you another 10 minutes to brainstorm tricky questions. 

Having said that, can anyone share a pdf of OMR (similar to the one of UPSC - was it circular or oval/elliptical I don't remember)? I'd be very thankful.

1. Get PYQ book of 10-15 years. 
2. Revise all those nonsensical CA materials that was done for UPSC till September 15. 
3. Read the basic books again.
4. Know your State book can be done. 

Lastly, cutoffs soar high because questions are from above 4 sources only* but paper is very much doable. 

All the Best. 

* T&C applied.
