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.

13/7/21 (Day 9 of 42)

It's official now. I'm going through a bit of a mental slump. Calling it a day quite early as I was anyways not getting anything done. 

Completed 1.5 maths classes, parts of newspaper. 

I hope, miraculously, that I wake up feeling better tomorrow. Need all the energy to have any chance of completing my targets. 


I was there. Stuck in a rut for a long long time.


Just accept that you're going through something difficult and take a couple of days to do something that makes you happy. Even more if need be. You'll be fit and fresh for the days ahead. As long as you keep trying, things will eventually get better! 


All the best :)

Thank you! Took your advice. I'm already feeling much more fresh and lively. 

16/7/21 

Completed 2 maths classes, half a CA class, Newspaper, + some CA topics for Mains. 



Great to hear that. Welcome back! The mathematics gang is strong again yay


We were getting outnumbered with all the PSIR junta around  :P

Meeting up a college friend almost after 1.5years. Have to pull things till the evening to compensate. Probably a sweet hangover after years too. :')

Past 3 days are not going good. Having Heart burn and acidity problem. Can you guys suggest something? how many days will it take to cure this? It has happened for first time with me. I am taking the syrup of antacid. It gives instant releif but even after eating light food, The heart burn happens again. Any remedial measures so that it doesn't happen again?

See a doctor if it is that chronic, just to rule out ulcers. Take care :)

T12 July 17 2021 10.5 Hours

2 hr news/ca done
6 hrs Society done
1.5 hr math done
1 hr mapping 

The kick you get by crossing 10 hr study is like no other. Eyes feel blurry, hands ache, back feels numb but brain is on dopamine rush. One of the good days today.

Did everything except GS 1. Had such a wonderful time with my faves. After having met them after 4 months, I realised how much I missed them, despite keeping in touch every day. Great way to start the weekend, will double down tomorrow. Good night friends :)

Maths 2.5 classes (of Statics) done, CA half a class done, newspaper done. 

@Archand Maths gang is unexpectedly strong here. Jabki overall numbers mei we're clearly a minority compared to Humanities optionals. Isliye extra happy to see you all :) 

@Shailputri you're going great! And the dopamine rush you're talking about! Uff! On the extremely rare occasions when I'm able to study to my max potential, I feel so good about myself! In all the excitement I can hardly go to sleep at night. The body aches all over from the effort but the mind is fully satisfied. Truly the pinnacle of studying! Hope you (and everyone else for that matter) get to experience that more often :)

Managed to sit for a long number of hours irrespective of the productivity. Today was better than yesterday and yet, miles to go still! I finally completed the mock test analysis and that made up for the slow pace in the other subjects. Will give the test tomorrow. 


Targets: 

  • Mechanics & Fluid Dynamics PYQs (4/5) Give a Prelims Test Vision CA Feb (Finish!) Newspaper
  • Mechanics & Fluid Dynamics PYQs (4/5) 
  • Give a Prelims Test  
  • Vision CA Feb (Finish!)
  • Newspaper 


All the best to you for your targets, lovely people of Forum!

Was able to complete the targets. Although mathematics is going slow, so will take more time. I'll double down on maths today and then re-evaluate how many more days I need to give to this chapter..


Targets: 

  • Mechanics & Fluid Dynamics PYQs (5/5) 
  • Prelims Test Analysis (Finish?)
  • Newspaper


@Celeborn I agree. The math community might just come in handy post prelims. Let's hope we all reach there happy and full of energy :D
