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.

What is becoming?
Book- By Michelle Obama.
And 1st dose of Covieshield. Already having ache in arm and body. So I don't think much would happen today.
How do you guys prevent sleep while studying 😴😴 sometimes even tears came out of my eyes.......any tips will be helpful
IMHO, you should sleep when you feel that sleepy. Take a power nap of 15-20-30 minutes, depending upon how tired you are. Sleep with an alarm on or tell your mom/dad/sibling/friend to wake you up. If you think you are sleeping too much/ more than what is actually needed then try dark coffee/ mint flavored chewing gums when you get those sleep spells. Remember, there is a short period of 10-15 minutes for which if you actually forcefully keep yourself awake you will stop feeling sleepy (Neend ud jaygi)..... but if you still feel sleepy after that 10-15 minutes ka jad-o-jehad, you are probably sleep deprived or too tired to study.
In my case, sleep deprived mind only works in exam like stress ka condition....otherwise without a Kumbhakarn ki neend, my mind simply cannot function.
So, dont be so harsh on yourself. Lazy @Muffin says, sleep when you should sleep.

If you like quizzing you can check out JetPunk. Their quizzes are a great pick-me-up whenever I feel sleepy. Some of their map quizzes can be pretty useful too for map-based questions.

Yeah that's a great idea thanks
mightyraju,Indian_HumanRather late morning, but after dealing with the mental health fallout’s of last night (aka extensive rant journaling), were back the day with targets for 14.7.21:
GS 3-environment
PSIR-Marx
CSAT
Daily C/A
AWP
Light day to ease back into the routine.
Done with most except notemaking for Marx. Not the best in terms of what I’ve achieved, still a slow start is still better than no start. Good night friends!
Had a decent day after a long while. The pace of target completion is slow, but I hope it improves as I pick up the rhythm. Have reverted back to my old school way of doing CA, I'm going to make notes and that will take more time. Taking longer to do something is better than not doing it at all.
Targets:
- Finish Complex Analysis PYQs
- Vision CA Feb
- Newspaper
So I did manage to study for a decent amount of hours, but the output wasn't that nice in terms of targets accomplished. Done with Complex Analysis PYQs apart from a couple of tough questions that I'm going to tackle tomorrow morning. CA took a lot of time and the portion covered wasn't a lot. Still, we'll keep on going. Someone wise said, "The dawn is always the darkest before sunrise" :P
Targets:
- Finish Complex Analysis PYQs
- Revise Mechanics & Fluid Dynamics Theory
- Newspaper
- Solve a prelims test paper
Was only able to revise half of the theory that I intended to finish, will still try to finish it tonight. I'm done with all the other targets for the day. I also did some Vision CA, but the pace remains slow. As always, hoping the rhythm continues and the productivity picks up!
Targets:
- Revise Fluid Dynamics Theory
- Mechanics & Fluid Dynamics PYQs (1/5)
- Prelims Mock Analysis (Finish tomorrow itself!)
- Vision CA Feb
- Newspaper
Didn't have a good day. Did fine in the first half but then the amazing weather distracted me away from studying. After loitering around Youtube and Netflix, went back to reading a book I'd been stuck on since a while. So maybe it wasn't that bad after all. Tomorrow needs to be better!
Targets:
- Mechanics & Fluid Dynamics PYQs (2/5)
- Prelims Mock Analysis (Finish tomorrow itself!)
- Vision CA Feb
- Newspaper
Writing down my targets now so that I don't weasel my way out tomorrow or believe whatever excuses my mind makes up when I don't feel like working:
1. News
2. CLD: 1 booklet
3. IL: 1 booklet
4. Finish off world history
5. NI module
6. Time permitting: 1 contracts module
Good night friends.
Done for the day. Finished with everything except 6 (there was plenty of time but I just didn't feel like it. Lesson for the future: don't make anything on the target list optional). Cheated a lot, but that just means i haven't optimised my source list. Oh well.
Good night folks!

@THE_MECHANIC Mint flavoured chewing gum works like wonder. Also since these are hot summer days, try drinking chilled water and that too very frequently.
Shubh Ratri Doston.
Good morning, another cold morning. Bangalore is weird, I feel it’s colder here in July than it is in December-January.

- Newspapers

- Test
- Revise 2.1-2.4
1. Done
2. Done

Had to spend some time helping brother make a poster for his college. Ah, good old college days when all you had to do was put on some music and let the creativity flow.
Couldn’t complete the test because of this and also because now I’m very sleepy.
Good night everyone!
