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.

Good morning lovely people! Today is the 183rd day of the year, the midpoint. From tomorrow we are officially in the Second Half.

Something unrelated but interesting, especially for a bright new morning - everyone's heard of "freedom is my birthright", but this is a slightly longer extract from Tilak's speech (Nashik, 1917, first anniversary of the Home Rule League):
“Freedom is my birthright. So long as it is awake within me, I am not old. No weapon can cut this spirit, no fire can burn it, no water can wet it, no wind can dry it. I say further that no CID can burn it.”
Have a great day all of you! :D we've got this!
Done for the day! Did not read today, but finally sat down to write something. Felt really good after a long time. I wrote a poem about my whiteboard (😛), and I'm going to try to update a blog regularly.
If anyone would be interested in reading a poem about a whiteboard,hereit is.
@Rashmirathi Congrats on your new pups! And congrats to their mom and dad too :D
Good night you awesome peeps! :)
@Rashmirathi you ought to give dog tax(pics of pups ; reddit tradition of r/aww)
YES YES YES.@Rashmirathi where's the dog tax?
EiChan,RashmirathiHello everyone. I'm planning on doing a week long phone detox, so won't be posting here for a while after today. Targets for 02/07:
1. News
2. Ankification
3. Ethics unit 2/7
4. Optional 3 units
Done with all targets for the day. Everything was going well till I went into a buyer's remorse spiral after buying my optional notes. Became really frazzled and wasted a couple hours on it sigh. Took a while to get back on track after that lol. Good night forum friends! See you all in a week (or longer if the phone detox works out :))

My brain is only good for useless things. Kaam ka kuch data/ facts puch ke dekho tabhi asli kaabilyat ka pata lagega 🤣 but on a more serious note, I used to write a lot in the past. I still do write sometimes it none of the things really rhyme anymore 🤷🏻♀️ Modern art ke tag ke picche chupte hain hum 🤣🤣

whatonly,Beginning again and this time I am here to stay (God, please don't let my filp floppy self go back on this again).
Target To-dos for Day (1/100): 1st of July 2021
- Indian Polity Topic 1 (Deep Work) (4 Hours) (Highlight)
- Environment Booklets (1 Hours)
- Jainism Lecture (2 Hours)
- Anki Review (1.5 Hours)
- Indian Express (1 Hour)
--
Go for a walk & listen to audiobook; Fast, Keep your blockers intact all day; Drink Enough Water
All targets done except Express, which I will try to read now. Also Polity was supposed to be 4 Hours of Deep work but half of the work was quite shallow & the mind was scattered. Anki reviews done for 1 Hour 10 minutes & the mind cannot take any more of it.
--
Walked, listened to an audiobook (Newport's Deep Work) (1.5 Hours), Fasted for 22 Hours, Water intake could have been better especially in the second half of the day. Also I was quite happy all day. Not a single low moment.
Also today's Chocolate Coffee was amazingly delicious. I ended up drinking two cups of it.
--
After the morning walk, wrote down some stuff aboutDeep Work vs Pomodoro technique. Give it a read. You may find some useful insights.

Glad to see people turning up the heat already by going into deep work.
You can also Try Huberman's lab podcast on youtube. He is a Stanford professor working in neuro and has some wonderful information related to all of this.
