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 you guys. There's lovely drizzly weather here that makes me want to both snuggle inside a heap of blankets and run around in the rain. But instead we're going to study!

July ninth, Twenty Twenty One

1. Ramesh Singh 3/3

2. May 1/2

3. S&T 365 1/2

4. Interview 

@Muffin heyy, it's okay. Some amount of feeling ashamed can be good, it helps motivate you the next day, but beyond a point it's just bad for you. So best not worry about LKK. The Ls are just like you and everyone has bad and good days. Instead of being ashamed, just figure out what went wrong and you'll be able to fix it soon enough. All the best to you :)

@sjerngal drizzle five! ✋🏽

All the best everyone, have yourself a good day! :)

@mechanic Thanks bro for your suggestion. Earlier artificial tears drops would work fine.

I have seen a private doctor , and then after not getting desired results, I went to AIIMS. I am using systane ultra, and an opthalmic gel with omega 3 supplements(as been told). Also one cipla drop , forgetting the name.I am using the drops too frequently now, but the effect lasts max for half to an hour. Have been advised to not put much stress on the eyes, and in a month it should be okay. Ab ho to gaya hai ek month to dekhte hain, theek ho jana chahiye.

I have the same issue too. There was a time I  used to intentinally blink my eyes so many times because they were so dry. 

Recently, when it was getting worse, I went to the eye specialist. He just recommended me to take some ice in a cloth and tap it over my eyes whenever they feel dry.  I really love doing this. I would suggest it to you as well. Maybe it will brinng some respite.

Hello Friends , how did you make notes for optional ?

did you refer any topper notes ?

just made notes out of reference books topics wise ?

making notes in Q&A format with pyq ?

or else just sticked to coaching class notes ?

@komarambheem3 my case about sociology,I referred toppers notes plus coaching material(selectively) and  reference book(harlambos) for conceptual understanding.
The hunch is to read one source per topic and to be able to revise from the same.
Did not find mains 2020 paper difficult with this approach except the current part in paper 2 ,where application is required,here I think more than knowledge I lacked time management.
Failed, so until mains marks are revealed can't say how much fruitful this excerise was.
Planning to write more tests this year and add to paper 2 current part(offcourse if I am able to clear pre)
