CSE 2021: Plan / Strategy / Daily Routine
Hello 2021 aspirants. I thought it would be nice if we can share what we are doing and intend to do with one another here.
This could be a thread for discussing everything prep for 2021.
No one method fits all but to see the plans and progress made by fellow aspirants might help with the finer details of preparation and also keep one on track.

@thesleepyhead that's the second straight day a poem by Robert Frost has impacted me.Kal Patootie had posted about the Road not taken. I spent an hour yesterday reading the poem (again and again) and various analysis of it. Aaj ke liye ab ye poem mil gaya
Kal read If by Rudyard Kipling (only if you haven’t already) :)
Ohhhhh, man! :')
I got this poem's poster in my school moral science book and that was still there on my room's wall but lost that in the renovation. Goosebumps guaranteed always xD
Archand,
Went quite off track in past two days. I was living without pretty much everything except telegram to keep distractions at bay. Mood swings got me to install bumble and activated my insta account. Completely lost sense of preparation mood tab. Back in the business now. :)
A friend called up to remind my target of attempting mains 2020 paper as simulation in feb. Massive guilt trip. Starting with ethics vision test, I'm hopeful of writing that in July mid. Let's see.
I started studying after 4 pm instead of morning. Still, was able to take out 5.5 hours post that. Starting with thermo today, almost 1/3rd of the portion got covered. Now that I'm finally in sync, I hope tomorrow would be a productive day too. It's always sweet if your day is bittersweet and sweet is how you end.
Someone over this thread mentioned how one shouldn't take the complete day as a whole but in different sessions. If you didn't do well in morning and afternoon sessions, don't wait for another day. You still have half of the day left. Thanks to whoever mentioned this.
I hope I'm able to internalise enough hawabazi in ethics to write the answers. :)

Done with targets for the day. Enjoyed CSAT after a really long time because I was able to solve things without getting frustrated, also because logic>quant.
Bread was got, today was quite a loaf-ly day, in fact. Listening to some calming music and going to bed, hopefully will be able to wake up early and go for a walk. Goodnight peeps!
19/6
Finished yesterday's targets and started watching Normal People and from the first scene itself, it looked so beautiful. Realised that the show is an adaptation from a book so keeping up with my principle started reading the book and slept at 3 :p
Anyway, woke up and got some part of socio done, targets for today -
1. Socio
2. CA Mag
3. Daily Stuff
Done with targets. Still have some time left so will continue with sociology for a while.
What I did today
- Revised ethics and wrote 3case studies+3Q
Someone came home and continuous yawns during the whole day didn't make me do anything else. It's fine, writing 90marks worth of answers made me felt good. That somewhat made me complacent too lol.
20-06-2021
- Ethics revision
- Ethics AWP - 3 case studies+9Q
- Thermo- complete till statistical
Random motivational shiz from a friend today :
Hagg ke hi toh sikhhenge. Ekdum se Tansen thodi ban jayega
Let me know if this word is inappropriate here, wasn't recognisable with an asterisk.
Woke up with a slight headache. Didn't do much today. Wrote one ethics answer. Studied a few pages of maths notes. Total time of 2-3 hours.
But then my headache got worse (although thankfully full on migraine stage not reached). So decided to take a break from studies.
In the evening, I watched Portugal vs Germany with my family. What a cracking game! Wish every match was like this.
Anyways tomorrow I've kept aside to complete pending work. So I need to complete CA classes, consolidate notes, complete one maths topic (uniform convergence), newspaper + some time on essay.
