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.

So the cake was made…. and cut….. and eaten. It’s not the best looking, will admit that it looks like an unintentional hagrid cake… or a Mary Antoonet at best. 🤷🏻‍♀️ The filters are heavy to conceal my poor icing skills. It was white forest, in case anyone was wondering

I read bimal ( in my mind sounds Bimal jalan ) :p although cake looks delicious ( plz if courier service available send to us 😅😅) I was contemplating side snack whether it is petty ( or something similar)

Yes yes my parents surprised me… while I was surprising them 😂

The cake looks amazing.

A (late) good morning guys! Woke up late because my brother puppy-eyedly pleaded with me to stay up till 2 watching the match with him and I couldn't say no.

July eighth, Twenty Twenty One 

1. Ramesh Singh 2/3

2. April

3. Interview 

Now the guilt is kicking in hard after the time spent away from studies today plus late start. Gots to get back on track today!

@THE_MECHANIC hahah, I might just start a coaching that teaches everything via jokes. Good idea for plan B. 

@LetsGetThisBread happy birthday to your dad! :D 

Have a good day people.


Done for the day. 

@ozymandias hope your eye heals soon :) take care, "traveller from an antique land"!

Good morning friends! Targets for 0807:

1. News

2. Ankification 

3. 12 optional subunits 

4. Wind up by 12

1. Done

2. Done (2 MORE DAYS TO GO WHOO)

3. No idea how much i did. Had to change my study material mid way because it wasn't working out so the targets shifted a bit. Satisfactory progress.

4. Done

Now that I'm sort of back in the groove and there's not enough time for my brain to trick me into getting braggy and taking a thousand breaks, will be setting more reasonable targets. Have a more streamlined and clearer idea of targets for the day. Do not check into the habitica tavern.

@whatonly Of whatsoever little I can deduce, you are one of the the brightest star on the forum of late.

@HotBloodPrince I am missing your presence on this thread. Hope you are hale and hearty.

Maths took a lot more time than I thought. Still a little left to be done. Will be taking a half day break from the subject and instead do some maps to pacify the prelims worries. Also, need to stop procrastinating when it comes to reading current affairs. It has been a while now. 


Targets:

  • Finish Calculus PYQs 
  • Indian Geography Maps 
  • Read Vision CA Feb (1/2) 
  • Newspaper

SFG had brought so much discipline to my sleep schedule, now I'm back to my old habits again. What's worse is that I've forgotten how to be productive after the clock strikes 10 haha!


Anyway, now that we're done with the rant, let's move ahead. Managed to finish all the targets but one. Need to set tougher targets considering how I know I can do a lot better! 


Targets: 

  • Complex Analysis Revision 
  • Complex Analysis PYQs (1/3) 
  • Vision Monthly Feb (Try to Finish) 
  • Newspaper

Good morning people :)

Targets for 8/7/21

  1. Newspaper +CA
  2. Optional- P2, Topic 3.2 
  3. Ethics try to finish two videos
  4. Social empowerment -indian society
  5. May CA Active 

All the best

Extremely weird day yesterday. It wasn't a waste, but wasn't a productive day either. 
All targets were only half achieved. Maybe I need to rationalise the targets as per the doability.

Good morning World .. Its drizzling here. Finally after days of scorching heat, today would be a much cooler day, I GUESS. 

Targets for 9/7/21

  • Newspaper +CA
  • Finish Optional P2 topic 3.2
  • Revise Optional p2, topic 2,3.1,3.2,3.3

Sticking to just these for the moment. Have to go out and meet friends in the afternoon. It would be great even if I finish these. 

Good Luck to all my friends here. May the productivity gods shower their blessings upon you today.

Hi friend, gentle reminder, its ok to not achieve your targets. Life happens. Or sometimes show bingeing happens. Either way, its more important to analyse why you didn’t achieve your targets rather than the fact that you didn’t achieve it. This is not a place of shame, hopefully you’ll find it is a place of gentle consoling. Tomorrow is a new day, its a reset, a new opportunity. Set achievable small targets. Anything you do will be better than what you did the previous day, in which case, you’re already getting the bread.

p.s thanks for clarifying what LKK is….. i would have asked otherwise
