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.

@nerdfighter hey i saw you were following one sir's environment booklets and lectures. i too saw his booklets and they seem very nice. but i don't have time to watch the lectures because of some other commitments. so, do you think if i just read the booklets and skip lectures altogether will i miss something substantial ?

@nerdfighter okay thanks. then i'll read booklets only as of now. and will watch lectures if i get any doubt. And one more thing, are these your single source for envt ca or are you referring to something else as well to fill the gaps ?

Hi friends! I’m back! Since many of you have waited for my return with bated bread (did I orchestrate my break just to make that pun, you’ll never know), targets for 23.7.21 are:

PSIR- IPT (1/2)

Polity

GS1- society (alad-chillad stuff)

CSAT

April 2021 C/A (1/2)

Daily C/A

That’s all folks! Let’s get this bread@balwintejas also get the prelims 👍🏻😎

Not a good study. Mum fell ill and had to take over household tasks for her yesterday. It made me realise just how much “outside world” I’m shielded from. Not a bread day, but a dead tired day

Namaskar,

To all the regular peepul of this thread


Once upon a time, I used to be regular here. And then I stopped being regular. And I now i badly want to be regular again.

@Celeborn &@LetsGetThisBread , keep me accountable, bros. If I miss a day, i owe you a treat. Pakka. Promise. Screenshot le lo in case I edit this stuff. :D

All the best, everyone.


I can get onboard with this form of motivation, screenshot bhi le liya. As@Celeborn said, I also take payment in the form of momos (it’s a Delhi thing) :)
