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.

I thought about not posting and quitting forum for some time. But I guess there is some sort of hidden joy I get when I post here and talk about my day. So would be continuing forum only for that purpose.
Yesterday : Was a very good day. I nearly completed all my targets. Some were left at I was little bit distracted and not mentally good. But a friend from forum was there to talk about it, felt nice. After that it was a good good day.
Today's targets :
1. Art and culture - Revision + Bhakti and sufi, archi and languages.
2. PT 365 - 20 pages
3. CSAT
4. Newspaper
5. Writing if time permits.
Today saw newspaper - About amazon prime day- I was so silly spent 2-3 hrs browsing through ethnic wear, sandals etc when even I did not wanted to buy. Now because I have spent so much of my time, I am going to buy else my mind would scream that I have wasted time and I do not want it to look like a waste of time. Uff!
T21 26 July 2021 3 hrs
1 hr news
2 hrs worth of governance
Some of my Sunday chores had spilled over today. And overall I was feeling meh.
Upsc ke backlog ke alawa ponchha jhadu ka bhi backlog ho raha. Kya din aa gaye. Waise to add zing to my drab and dreary living, i made this today. All home made! A feeble attempt to make an entry into Forum foodie community. Lol. 
@rishabhrajiitdhn25561 happy b'day!
Done with both the lectures to do. Nothing else done.
No focus today. I was constantly distracted the entire day. Tired too. Had to get a coffee in the evening as I was feeling severe withdrawl symptoms. So, just sat down & wrote about my tragedy instead.
Bye.
Ah, tell me about it! Major addiction to nescafe gold. (Classic doesnot do the magic)

Try brewing ground coffee instead of beating instant. That's the real magic.

I spent a good amount of time today studying. Satisfied with the effort. Although not yet at peak levels.
I feel my daily CA revision targets are a bit ambitious so reducing them by a little from now on.
@rishabhrajiitdhn25561 Happy b'day! And welcome to the thread :)
@Shailputri That looks amazing! Kudos :)
Targets for 2601:
1. Start by 10
2. 1 history module
3. CLD final module (this has to be the last day I'm doing CLD. I'm going to burn whatever notes I don't finish by the end of the day. No excuses.)
4. Contracts: Modules 4-10
1. Started at 12. The reason for my miserable performance in the other target points.
2. Done
3. Done. FINALLY. I AM CRYING TEARS OF JOY.
4. 1/7 done. Will try to do more before I sleep, but not sacrificing my sleep for this.
Today was unsatisfactory. I have to do better than this. The late start didn't help but I also spent a lot of time daydreaming and then watching a lot of youtube.
For tomorrow: putting my phone away, moving the exercise block to the morning, starting earlier.
THE_MECHANIC,I stopped posting for a week with hopes of getting better. As accountability dropped, so did my productivity. So here I am again. The prelims is here and there's still a lot of optional left to be done. Going to continue the optional this week and then re-evaluate next Sunday.
Targets:
- Revise Statics & Dynamics Theory
- Finish Prelims Mock Analysis
- Vision CA March (1/2)
The first casualty of me losing the study tempo is always my sleep cycle. Need to figure out a way to not sleep late, wake up early and then feel sleepy all day.
Here's hoping our olympic champions bring us the much needed inspiration :P
Was able to finish the first two targets. Not satisfied by the progress on the third.
Targets:
- Statics & Dynamics PYQs (1/4)
- Finish Vision March CA
Going to double down on the monthly tomorrow so not a lot of targets.
Day started with some bad result news in Olympics shooting :(
