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.

After seeing@whatonly and@LetsGetThisBread me to my talent : abe kaha ho be aate ho ya nhi
Talent be like : kbhi bnae ho 😅😅😅😅
@whatonly seriously from state board ??? Ab to mujhe lg rha h sara scam sirf CBSE m hi chl rha h ( I thought my english was good until I came here 😅😅)
Hahaha. Maybe cause cool people don't need cool weather :D my bar for sweater weather is pretty low though, I feel cold really easily 😂
And hey, non-rhyming poems and puns are NOT useless okay!
My bar for both sweather weather and sweaty weather are quite low so I’m perpetually uncomfortable, and Delhi doesn’t make it easier on me. Non rhyming poem squad for life!
Good morning lovely people
3/06/21-Targets for the day
Newspaper
Optional-4 hrs
GS-3-Topic-1
@whatonly I had conveyed your regards to them and they had said so sweet of you😂😂 and your poem was really good ,when I read Poem , ghazal ,books I think how one can imagine such things and write maybe it’s innate( which we definitely don’t have as said by@THE_MECHANIC)So keep writing and who knows one day we get a chance to read your book
@Luffy @fortarach63 @LetsGetThisBread on your demand this is for you( and by the way what’s this dog tax heard for the first time in life)
#This is the longest message I have ever written ( ye aap sb ki company ka jaadu h)
Puppers make my day, bake my bread perfectly, give me clear skin and good grades.
3/7/21
Fucked up my hands pretty bad lately, yesterday was no different. Started taking Vitamin-D supplements because I know my bones are weak and I made a stupid decision to pick up dumbells few days ago after a long time and worked out to the fullest of my ability. Unfortunately the Josh that was high that time, is now so low..
Decided not to do anything at all with my hands today. No note making, no typing. Complete rest for my hand.
Hopefully the pain will go in a week. If not, then I am doomed, will probably have to get it checked from a doctor.
Anyway, target for today
- Newspaper + daily Ca
- 1 video of ethics
- May CA finish it (priority of the day)
- Philosophical essay brainstorming.
Good luck 🍀

Oh god, I can totally imagine her voice in my head. 😂😂
THE_MECHANIC,
So I did study in the first half but then something happened with my laptop giving me the perfect escape. Didn't do anything hardcore UPSC in the second half, instead I read up random IR articles!
Targets:
- Real Analysis PYQs (3/4)
- Newspaper
- Society Notes/Vision Monthly
I'm confused about when exactly to start prelims preparation. That will decide what I choose between Society and CA tomorrow. How are you all planning the shift to prelims prep?
The curse continues. Laptop is still giving me problems so I'm going to have that checked out soon. Studying on a tablet doesn't feel the same at all.
Same targets as today for tomorrow.
Enough procrastination now! Going to restart meditation and see if that changes things.
Finally had a better day. Although I messed up my post dinner session, the rest of the day went fine. Hope it only gets better from here. Meditating seems to have helped as well.
Targets:
- Finish Real Analysis PYQs (4/4)
- Newspaper
Will probably add something miscellaneous as well. My mind tells me it can't do anything super intensive after 10 so I'll figure out something light.
Hope you all achieve your targets as well. All the best people :)
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! :)
Hey, I just went through the poem. Loved how you used sea voyage metaphor. Another thing I really liked was how you made the poem flow smoothly through the paragraphs. That is something that I've been trying to improve myself at as well.
Keep writing friend, hoping to see a lot of your work there :)
Target To-dos for Day (2/100): 2nd of July 2021
- Santosh Sir Polity Mains Booklets 1, 2 & 3 (Deep Work) (5 Hours)
- Environment Booklets (1 Hour)
- Anki Reviews (1 Hour 15 Minutes)
- Indian Express
Hey, is this Santosh sir from levelup ias? If yes, can you please tell me approximately how many classes for prelims CA are done? I am planning to join the classes now, hence want to know if it would be possible to cover them.

Hello!
Sorry for a bit of unsolicited free advice but I felt you are doing certain things fundamentally wrong.
It may sound a bit old school and unpopular but in my humble opinion you should avoid any kinds of supplements that you are taking. Can't get into too much technical details here but I can tell you from experience it won't benefit you in the long run. After a few months your body will hit a plateau and from that point onwards growth won't be the same again.
More and more of fruits, vegetables, non veg, dry fruits and half hour sunlight will be enough for both bones and muscles. In gyming and bodybuilding one has to be very very patient. It takes years to get into the kind of shape we want.
Hope you won't have to go to a doctor and it will normalise after a bit of icing. All the best!
Rashmirathi,

Thank youu :) i would really love to read some of your work too some time!
And yeah, I am going to try my best!
It was the final day of shifting (hopefully). My study room is not ready yet but then I got reminded of this famous saying, "hum log to street light k neeche baithkar padhte the" :/
So I did women issues and daily CA today. Studied for 3 hours only.
It will take time to get back the momentum.
@whatonly,what a piece of writing! I could totally connect to it. I felt like drawing a cute whiteboard for it but then bohot sara kaam pending hai abhi :( will draw when I get bored of studying. Keep writing buddy!
Did not post the to-dos as I was blocked out of forum before I could do so (Yay, My blockers works now! I feel so liberated)
It was an okayishly productive day. Could have been great if I had studied well after 6 too. Feeling too tired. About 7 Hours of Work Done. Made some progress of Art & Culture Handouts & Environment Handouts. Did not do Anki reviews today.

Just sitting down and watching Netflix's Ray. Watched the one part called "forget me not". It was so so. 3.5 Stars. xD
This one with Manoj Bajpayee looks better.
'forget me not' is interesting story. Close to gaslighting. Imagine Ipsit Nair as ourself. Spoiler alert, Maggie was unpredictable. His wrongs, her love & their vengeance.
Good morning lovely peeps!! Targets for the 3.7.21:
Ethics- finish with certain sections
PSIR- miscellaneous google stuff
Editorial - IE+ Hindu
Daily C/A
CSAT
AWP
August 2020 C/A revision (1/2)
Write with right and left hand (realised i could do the same to improve my actual handwriting)
That’s all folks!!! Let’s get this bread!!
p.s@Rashmirathi we demand some pup pics!
Managed to finish pretty much everything except AWP but I’m still quite annoyed at myself for letting PSIR stretch for way too long. I need to learn how not to beat myself up for not getting through all the targets as planned. I’m going to bed now so that tomorrow isn’t an unproductive day.
Night night friends. Remember god (if you choose to believe) loaves you :)
