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.

Today's targets :

1. Mrunal Updates - complete 

2. IPT - complete 

3. Eco PT 365 - (8/10)

4. Environment - laws(3/4) and pollution (1/3)

5. CSAT 

6. Book

Yesterday - was eh! Like I did study, but the weather here was so good, that I just slept for 3-4 hrs in a kambal. When whether is cold, I automatically turn into a sloth with the blanket turning my saathi.  Guilty Guilty . And Optional - kya hi bolun jab socha kuch padh leti hun- optional took 4 hrs. No book reading, No CSat and No economics. 

But this day would be better.  

Are kaha ho india m jo thnd pd rhi h yaha to suryadev (sun 🌞) ki kripa itni bni hui h ki pasine ( sweat 💦) ki nadiya ( river 🌊🏊) behti h

Padhariya Ooty and Coimbatore ki taraf! Thandi aapke swagat ke liye thaal leke bethi hai (Kabhi khushi kabhi gham moment)! 

B/w Guys, This place is heaven. Having lived in delhi and then here, Man! Heaven is here-mild temp all the time of the year, not too much cold neither pasine wali garmi. 


Don’t make me jealous

I am sure I am making many :)

It has been such a disappointing day for me. Got up late by around half an hour(than my usual time of 5:30),gave a dopamine rush in the morning itself by watching some sports stuff, had to coordinate with a problematic courier vendor(never trust DTDC guys)during the day, then went out to eat  momos(have missed relishing on them since long). I feel so ashamed of having toyed with the whole day around.Lol.


Only finished 70% of 1st target and will do newspaper and CA now. I hope to improve upon these once in a week self destructive tendencies. 


@whatonly  Keep rocking buddy.

@LetsGetThisBread Sleep shouldn't be hampering plans.Rather it should be the ultimate plan.


Keep rocking buddies. 


Targets that will remain unfinished after I doze off-

GS 2- M 19; J 19

Haven't been able to go as far as 10+ hours since past few days. I am very hopeful of picking up the momentum.


Also a warning to all the folks here-

There is a potential Food Lifter(Vehicle Lifters ka mild version) lurking around amongst us. If you ever happen to see this person near your food plate while you are out for a good meal, beware and remain vigilant.This foodie gushes over everything, from momos to biryani to cake. All in all, @whatonly will eat all your food without you even knowing it.Savdhaan rahein doston.

Also the day started with a mobile notification of a thunderstorm in Jammu today @sstarrr @Villanelle @The Mechanic @LetsGetThisBread @whatonly  . Din khatam ho gaya,naa thunder hua naa storm. IMD forecasts are a farce it seems.

IMD forecasts fooled me too… but all 82 percents of humidity seem to be happily settling here

Look into why you’re not able to complete your targets. Is it because you’re trying to do too many things in a day, or are you distracted? Or unmotivated? First work on finding out the whys, only then you can create some sort of lasting solutions.

@LetsGetThisBread yes I am trying to do too many things outside targets, it makes me feel good to learn so much which was never i heard, its related to UPSC though

@iceking you can treat those things as a reward for completing your targets. Instead of doing those things in the beginning of the day itself, you can do them after you’ve finished most/ a significant chunk of your targets. So that way you won’t end up missing too many of your targets

My bad@sstarrr for this titular misappropriation. Probably I have missed your sumptuous food reviews then. Btw, here is how@whatonly steals from whatever food stuff you share on this forum.

@LetsGetThisBread You are doing great, buddy.

@iceking As far as failing on daily targets is concerned,I am on the same page(and maybe a bit more frail). In my case, it is cumulative result of having way too ambitious targets and a bit of procrastination. I will see if shifting to table and chair will help me or not.

@nerdfighter You are doing great buddy. Best of Luck.

@Shailputri Your account name is too too good. Best of Luck.

Good morning people! 

July eleventh, Twenty Twenty One

  1. Shankar 1/2
  2. Env 365 1/2
  3. Jan 
  4. Interview 

Have a good Sunday everyone :)

Done, except ten pages of Jan monthly, will do tomorrow. 

@mightyraju @THE_MECHANIC what have i ever done to deserve such a reputation 😂 in fact in real life everyone around me is always telling me i need to eat more (And @sstarrr is right, I'm no foodie sadly!)

@iceking I struggled a lot with this too, you just need to slowly get rid of the tendency to read outside the lines during study time. You can put one hour aside for reading other things each day, and venture outside the syllabus only in that time. Easier said than done, I know, but when you gotta do it you gotta do it.
