Quote for the day
Dear Self Be aware of the moment when you are not doing what you have planned. Try to hold ur plan back, increase your grasp on yourself, do what the hell YOU want to do not what the mind is trying to convince.

self rating-6/10-since total no. of hours is 6hr 30 min(including yoga and have completed around 60% of tasks)
Improvements needed:-
1. never start a web series and don't ask anyone to suggest any web series-you are digging your own grave by starting it {watch the last season so as to avoid the temptation to know the story}
2. Prioritize ur goals-whether u want to be good to ur friends/family or you want to achieve your goals? sometimes there is a need for madness and imbalance to achieve something and later on, you can make balance.
3. Don't get too happy and start celebrating by finishing only 50% of your goal. You will lose the game.

I know there is less free time for you today but then daily what you do is watching Westworld till 1am in the night and because of that you are not getting up early and you are wasting atleast 2 hours of the morning. So consider less time as an approach to mend you for ur own well being.

3) Do include prelims in your schedule for atleast 30 minutes.(mainly question solving)
Remarks:-
Some days are not good days. No issue. Outperform next day.
Quote of the day:-
क्षमा शोभती उस भुजंग को जिसके पास गरल हो
उसको क्या जो दंतहीन ,विषरहित, विनीत, सरल हो ।
सहनशीलता, क्षमा, दया को ,तभी पूजता जग है
बल का दर्प चमकता उसके ,पीछे जब जगमग है।

I will consider today as a day off since i have studied only 1 hr due to some health issues.

Self Rating-6/10(since studied 8 hours but completed only 60% of task)
Improvements needed:-
1. If u get up at 5am study atleast 10 hours or please dont get up just for the sake of it. Sleep well atleast you will have good memory.
2. Please do some yoga/meditation/Exercise for atleast half an hour. This will help you saving 4-5 hours of the day where you just keep pondering over something or you dont feel like studying.
3. If you seriously want to get into this competition please keep your phone switch off while studying. Noone is gonna die while u study.
4. There must be no use of internet in first half of study i.e, before 1 pm. Dont open it no matter what.
Remarks:- Below average performance because you got up today at 5am and didn't complete today's list. Moreover wasting a lot of time on phone is not going to fetch marks in pre/mains/interview.

quote of the day:-
कर दिखाने का मौका,
जब भी किस्मत देती है
गिन के तैयारी के दिन,
तुझको मोहलत देती है
मांगती है लागत में,
तुझसे हर बूँद पसीना
पर मुनाफा बदले में
ये जान ले बेहद्द देती है
रे बन्दे की मेहनत को किस्मत
का सादर परनाम है प्यारे

Improvements needed:-
1) Enter into prelims mode from 20th july... start solving questions. I want you to read fast and as many times as possible. Do 10 revision. Dont worry about whether you are able to retain it or not in the first go.
2) Don't go to sleep after waking up for the first time in the morning. You will never get up in an hour.(with alarms being off)

Hi, need some suggestions for prelims 2020:
I haven't prepared CA well, done 5-6 Vision monthly and now have completed S&T, envy. and Polity 365. Do you think revising 365 will be better or I should do something else.
And in static parts should I revise basic books of polity, mod history, environment( I have read them 2-3 times but not in recent 2-3 months), like I understand basic story/ concepts but make mistakes at facts.
So should I revise notes of Laex rapid reckoner or some other short notes or go by test papers.
Please suggest, I am losing confidence from 2-3 days that now if I can complete things or not?!!
Just saying.
- Just revise what you have already read sense of familiarity will be there. That will help in revision because you will have grip .Why to start something new. Kindly avoid that.
- Same goes for static revise the already read main book of reference for each subject that you have covered previously.Dont rely on other notes or test paper solutions. Original text book are like concrete base test paper solution are complementary.
- I know one feel that they should do this too and that too. Keep things minimal covering the essential. Current affair if you are doing it from 365 stick to that. And since you said that you go wrong fact na so the problem is revision you might be in rush I understand but remember the main game is to avoid going wrong in what you have already read.so revise .
- And kindly stop worrying do not give space to thought that will I be able to complete or not. It's not good. So just keep a reasonable target for a day and then cover it that would reduce your anxiety and to build the confidence give test daily. That will kill your doubt about yourself. If you do well it's accha if you are scoring less it's more accha for you still have got time to correct yourself right so start now. Don't think much just start. Assessment part gives a chance to prepare oneself in a better way so never skip test.
- Your cycle should be like read the already done things . Give the test. See where you are going wrong and revise it again and then give your mind a break by sleeping. Practice clean eating too .
There is saying na aage paath piche sapaat never fall in that bracket. Just saying based on where I had faltered once. I hope it hold some relevance to you.
awesome advice......will incorporate the same in my routine

Don't go for la excellence directly,they are very short notes
About static
Give 2-3 days for each subject revise and give test re read your weak point
and then move to flt test
About ca
Revise that vision monthly which u have already covered
For new ca refer to any 60-70pages compilation like only ias quick revision or factly (only ias quick revision only contains 40-50 pages don't know its good to follow or not, but i will follow that only coz of tima paucity)
Lastly read pyq sincerely
Always Remember exam me pada hua kuch nhi ayega,sab pad lia revise krke confidence ayega aur us confidence se hi pre crack hoga(jitna me samja hoon abhi tak is exam ko)
yahi ekmatra sachai hai prelims ki....CONFIDENCE
30th August 2020:-
Had target of revising too many tests early in the morning but could not do so:-
Reasons:-
1) Raat mein decide nahi kiya tha ki karna kya hai
2) Morning mein kisi tarah se mann ko maar ke padhna start nahi kiya(in first hour)
3) Kal raat mein thoda late tak padha and it disrupted my morning schedule
The most important thing is balance:-
1) Balance in believing what you believe
2) Balance in not following the crowd or some friends and just start doing some falana dhimkaana things
3) Balance in not taking any suggestions in last hours
Today I commit to myself that I will be in full control of myself for next 30 days. Koi kuch bhi kahe kare mai wahi karunga jo maine decide kiya hai. These are my days.
