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.

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!
You have found my Achilles heel
@Villanelle Most primitive one. Channi brew(Blue Tokai uses this word). It is simply how you brew tea leaves. :p
It has coarse grains, just like the french press. Planning to get south indian filter in coming weeks.
It will change your life (especially if you have the patience for it)

Mojo missing. Suddenly my aesthetic sense has heightened so much that I am spending my precious hours in beautifying things (notes, table, room, windows, food anything...eveything) rather than doing the real stuff. Just not done!
You got it mate.. I remember I used to push myself to study even harder when I used to see how many hours you have put in and how much you have covered in a day. Kinda helped me realize my full potential. And as far as aesthetics are concerned, just wind up all the beautifying in day or two. And maybe you can also use this beautification to make ur studies less boring.
Sssuppp bois and gals. Finally succumbing to the pressure of what if prelims mein kata gya toh. Here I'm, so lessgoooo. Or, Let's go exploring!

Done with things for the day finally! It was a long gruelling day with a really bad head ache as well (the humidity really affects my sinuses) but we persisted. Environment was the last thing I did today, and it was very meh but it’s better than missing it entirely. Good night since there isn’t much loaf-t to do anymore :D

I had a decent day today. I came here at around 11pm to post as I was a bit tired. However reading your comments motivated me to sit for some more time. In that time I completed some more of my targets. So I guess this accountability thing works

On a side note, I'll probably stop going for evening walks from now on. Saw a poor female dog lying on sand and crying silently. I see the dog everyday. When I went to check if she is actually crying or not, she started screaming in pain. My heart just couldn't take it.
As a dog parent of a 2 year old indie dog, my heart aches every time I see street animals (especially dogs) in pain. At that moment, I felt so helpless. There are not many NGOs that I know of in my area that rescue injured animals. Infact I once had a very terrible experience when I tried to contact a supposedly "ANIMAL WELFARE" society.
I couldn't do anything, and I didn't take the same route back home because I couldn't accept the fact that I wasn't able to help the dog.
The inner dissonance that we read about in ethics was practically felt by me tonight. Infact it consumed a lot of my time in evening.. I just hope the dog is fine and one day I never have to turn my back to any injured animal.
For now, I am probably not going for evening walks anymore.. :(
Forgot to post today's targets :
1. PT 365 ENV only
2. CSAT
3. Globalisation
4. Newspaper
1. Doing
2. Done
3. Half done
4. Done
Pt 365 is a tough game. Would take more time, I thought it would take less time. Watched Mimi in breaks , one time watch and Pankaj Tripathi nails is again. Watch for fun and don't expect it to raise ethical, moral and legal questions related to surrogacy.
@Shailputri Dude, your golgappa!! The chef inside me is dying to cook the same. Don't do it please, makes harder for me to concentrate. Uff!
