Which monthly current affairs magazines do you use currently and why?
I'm a working aspirant.
So I have to rely completely on CA magazines. I'm not getting time to read CA daily.
I'm thinking of choosing two CA Magazines. But since I'm a complete beginner, can someone please suggest me which combination of magazines can give the most holistic coverage? Thanks in advance.

Most holistic is a myth. Most often, at least in the initial days, we will have so many doubts - Will everything come from this magazine? Will I miss out something? Can I be able to write answers well for GS-2,3 by relying on this magazine? Which has the best coverage?
Here is my 2 cents experience. The idea of the holistic magazine is a myth. None can cover everything. Pick up any leading institute's magazine. Anyone of your choice, be it Vajiram, Vision, Forum, insights, IASBABA , NextIAS, Shankar. Pick anyone and follow it religiously. Make separate notes especially for mains. Follow the rule of 25% i.e.; whatever be the length of the article, for mains you need to tone down it to 25%. Revise it multiple times. Make questions on the contents, try to write answers. For prelims do solve a test series and a quiz booklet of any leading institute of your choice. Before the prelims, revise the quiz booklets and factual stuff from the magazine -preferably underline it with a different colour while reading.
That's it! Don't lose yourself in the sea of magazines and short notes mafia. Trust me, I've seen the worst and on my way to best.
Are the current affairs magazines same for both prelims and mains? Is there a concept of separate magazine/facts for mains?
Monthly magazines are integrated magazines and have topics for both pre and mains. Just before prelims, Prelims compilations are released (PT 365 of Vision, Insta Compilation of Insights, Compass of Rau's etc), similarly just before mains, mains focused compilations are released.
