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.

Guys do you have any good suggestions for history video lectures (Ancient, Medieval and Modern), preferably those marathon session ones? 
I want to listen to these while on walks and haven’t been able to find a decent one yet

Q: What do you do when you can't answer most PYQ UPSC questions of a certain year? 
A : You doubt your sources, your reading and memory, your purpose, your self and throw the day away.

Anyone else guilty of such crime?

Good morning gentle forks of forum, weather is looking nice-ish finally here. Targets for 13.7.21:

Copy writing- left+right

Editorial- IE+ Hindu

Dec 2020 C/A (2/2)

GS 3 environment

PSIR- Mill

PSIR- world order (realised i straight up forgot this even existed in the syllabus)

CSAT

Thats all folks! I hope its a good day to get some bread for you and for me :)

Sooooo….. I didn’t do anything. I had a bit of a rough day, which led me to run away from real life by reading a trashy book that felt like watching a rom-com for 5 hours. Good news I finished it within one day and never have to subject myself to the atrocious plot. Bad news, I wasted an another day that i could have been studying. Today was not just a flip-the-table kind of day, it was flip-the-chair-and-everything-else-and-watch-it-burn-from-a-distance kind of day.

July 13, 2021

1. CA class

2. science and tech CA + mind mapping ( ye mind map banane mein jo mind khapta hai!)

3. society- Khatam( yayy)


Because of delays, tasks which were supposed to be completed before 15th July were -

1. Ethics ( 6 videos left)

2. World history 

3. Maths 

Now that I have to start with prelims specific things I don’t think it is possible for me to cover world history and post independence. Therefore, tomorrow I will cover most of the ethics videos and from 15 onwards I will pick up Economy. Sab saaf hai :’(

Relying just on newspaper for a complete topic is a wrong strategy imo. 

Make country wise notes for IR from any standard source on dimensions such as basic pointers, areas of cooperation, significance, challenges, way ahead. 
Just add on few general IR issues and world organisations and you'll be done with IR. 

The Hindu should be used just to get brief context and value addition. That's all.
