Planning to start preparation after 4 years of gap 30 year old

Hello Guys,


I was preparing for UPSC CSE in 2015-2016 and due to some family responsibilities i had stop the study and start working but now I am working for MNC and have some time to study. Right now i am 30 year old and have one child.


I am planning to study while working i can easily make 3-4 hours for my study but i know i have to be consistent with the study and consistency is the key for UPSC examination.


I have an idea about examination so i will not spend time on finding books,resources,coaching etc.


if you have any suggestions for me then please let me know guys


Thanks

Similar situation. Preparing with a newborn. Last attempt. My suggestions - since we have limited time, Minimum sources + Maximum Revisions. Also, focus on important static subjects like polity, modern history, environment, 1 source for current, important topics like it, mapping, schemes and revision of static. If you can't make notes, la excellence's ready reckoner for static is good for revision. Don't try to be perfect. Maximize completion of syllabus then revise. Lastly, utilize time well with targeted studies and pomodoro.
