@Orlando_Zia no revision, test copy not analysed, no mapping. got to push n schedule. good thing that i sorted out my planning doc. 
Today- test mains+prelims, WCA and analyse whole test. time allows then fill gaps in last week's notes n docs-update with pyq dimensions. dont sleep without sorting next schedule n pinning on memory board.

@Aka227 completely okay, this discontent will only help us improve. make it mechanical, how can we make each point phrased better or crisper, etc...don't worry about time if you are beginner, make a muscle memory with practice of the step wise drill of what dimensions you will add n how you phrase every line..it is a hard mental drill..like some mentors say "you should feel a bit of guilt everyday as your competitors don't settle without improving everyday

@Apollo11 thank you for sharing spread sheet idea. I want to know how you drilled keywords into your head? like what did you do daily or before tests for that? i find it hard to replicate keywords in my answer?

@Bharat_J go to any toppers blog or telegram channel n check the sources..you can get some links while scrolling up teamkjs channel run by ips ghanshyam gautam. stick to those standard sources only. for mains, follow last 5 year pyq themes and prioritise high weightage subjects as time is limited now.

@Incoming even i face this rigid behavior about morning routine,.. i think we should move to next task in schedule and look at morning task at the end of day..depending on priority or utility....also, guilt must be faced by tearing through that feeling n first thing is to eliminate any distraction that comes after guilt be it music or whatever youtube etc
