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.

@THE_MECHANIC thank you friend :) as always you are too kind. I am not from icse either - state board and proud :p
@LetsGetThisBread that was good! tables are such a real joy! and yayy, looks like the ethics is drawing to a close! :D
@fortarach63 have a good week! :)
Done for the day, but only the hardcore studying parts. Could not spend enough time on questions or anything creative, because I spent two lovely hours on a video call with old friends - turned out to be far more nourishing anyway :)
@Infinitybeyondinfinity awww. That is such a lovely thought. I'm sure it will be the cutest whiteboard ever with your skills! And thank you :) hope you have your study room soon!!
Good night folks, don't let the bed bugs or the worry bugs bite!
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 :)
Another half decent day, a lot more could be improved though. Need to get back to clocking in 2-3 hour sessions with full concentration.
Was able to almost finish Real Analysis PYQs so now onto the next chapter. Need to start hedging now that prelims is close, going to start CA magazines from monday.
Targets:
- Finish Real Analysis PYQs
- Revise Calculus Theory
- Calculus PYQs (1/3)
- Newspaper
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 🍀
Very productive day after MONTHSS..
All targets achieved, some even exceeded. So happy to finish MAy CA monthly.
Will hopefully sleep satisfied now.
Goodnight world :)
Good morning cuties! America waalon ko happy independence day. India waalon ko happy Sunday.

Gotta say, there's something so comforting about underlined pages. And nothing as scary as a page without any underlines!

@Usain_bolt I appreciate your concern and totally agree with your opinion. Hopefully it will end very soon. Feeling a lot better today (touch wood).
98 days left for prelimsss..
Let's do this..!!
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.
Which blockers do you use?
Good morning lovely people

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)

Not a very productive day but was able to complete newspaper and GS portion
But as said by Sahir Ludhianvi Ji-
मैंज़िंदगीकासाथनिभाताचलागया
हरफ़िक्रकोधुएँमेंउड़ाताचलागया
बर्बादियोंकासोगमनानाफ़ुज़ूलथा
बर्बादियोंकाजश्नमनाताचलागया

Signing off for today - enjoy the weekend comrades
