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.

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
जोमिलगयाउसीकोमुक़द्दरसमझलिया
जोखोगयामैंउसकोभुलाताचलागया
ग़मऔरख़ुशीमेंफ़र्क़नमहसूसहोजहाँ
मैंदिलकोउसमक़ामपेलाताचलागया

Past 2 weeks were difficult. The eye problem now looks like is nearing its end . Yesterday was really productive, with no interruptions of strains. So with fingers crossed, hoping I find a streak.
All the targets are finished.The downside is the headache since evening . Kal targets light rakhne padenge.
Since I am doing geometry, sharing some words of wisdom from Pythagoras sahab.
Good morning people! Its Sun-yay today so hopefully studying will be great for everyone here. Targets for 4.7.21:

That’s all folks!! Let’s get this bread!!!
P.s@sjerngal congrats on having a productive day despite your wrist pain. Hope that this streak continues for you. Get that bread buddy!
Was in a very sun-yay mood itself. Got only the editorial and AWP done. So did some extra C/A revision for august as well to compensate and make sure the day wasn’t an entire waste.
In other news, I made pizza from scratch. I thought it would be very difficult, turns out it was quite dough-able.
Night night friends
Good morning world :)

4/7/21
Finally landed in Delhi yesterday. Today was spent mostly in unpacking. I solved some multiple integrals problems in some spare time I got.
I had also set apart some time to review my progress till now (from the time postponement of prelims was announced). Based on that I made a plan for the next 42 days. After that will shift completely to prelims.
I hope you all are doing well. I pray that when October 10 comes, you all will be looking back at these few months and feel proud of yourself. Stay awesome!
Completed Chemistry today. Will start Bio from Tomorrow. Still hanged on PM, CM, CoM. Will complete it tomorrow and move to Parliament. Also starting Modern History from tomorrow. It feels good to complete both ancient and medieval. yay!!
Let us take a moment to appreciate the number of subjects that you have mentioned in this comment.

Gotta say, there's something so comforting about underlined pages. And nothing as scary as a page without any underlines!
@sjerngal congrats on the super productive day! May you have many such days! :) and hope your hand heals soon!
All the best for today everyone!
Done for the day, but did not spend enough time on interview questions. It's getting to be a dangerous tendency, will course correct from tomorrow.
