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.

Hello friends! Thanks for all the wonderful messages and tips you guys. It truly is a great community. 

Some great ideas there. Nothing works on me forever so I'd definitely be giving those a shot in the near future. 

I might have to go get my wisdom tooth/teeth extracted today, so I may not be able to work today. But until I know for sure I'm going to kill my targets WOOH. 

Targets for 2807:

1. History 1 module

2. Consti modules 2 and 3

Have a good day my lovely forum friends!

I wanted to take it to 14 hours (no lack of energy) but the mind has stopped taking anything in. So, its better I keep that task for some other day.

Impressive !!!

Today was one of the days when you start with full energy and think of yourself as a machine and keep studying continuously, until the brain can't take it anymore.
I wish I had taken more breaks in between which could have let me finish all the targets and clock in more hours. 
Neverthless, it was a satisfactory day. Will perhaps take it slow tomorrow, solve some mocks maybe. 


Time to be a Dravid, and not a Sehwag.... Abhi 70 days bache hain.. Train nahi choot jaaegi agar breaks le li toh.. 

P.S: On the side note, I took courage to take the same route for my evening walk, where I had seen the dog crying few days ago. I was just wishing to not see a dead carcass. To my surprise, the dog was perfectly alright. I noticed she is pregnant and it was perhaps the labour pain which made her cry that day. I had carried some biscuits with me to give it to some other puppies, but I gave a few to her as well. She wagged her tail and ate it. MAde my evening. :)

Could only do newspaper,some chapters of polity and PT Polity because then COVISHIELD started to show its magic ( and said “aa dekhe zara kisme kitna h dum”) 

And sad day bcz Mary Kom ji lost her bout ( desperately wanted her to win the Olympic GOLD ) but destiny has something else for her ( such-as role of coach in which she can guide others to Olympic GOLD as being done by Pullela Gopichand ji)  . All said she is legend and true hero and inspiration to millions

@Rashmirathi just knowing Marrycom works as a miracle for me.

I think she lost to another champion who had a medal in Rio 2016 Olympic.

In sports things change with age it's hard for me when I see federar losing continuously and Serena Williams too.

But what shall Always inspire us their ability and courage to continue despite the odds and the wind against them.

Cheers !to her grit.

A very good day. 3 days and completed 3 Pt 365.

Remaining 4 to be done. 

Tomarrow's targets :

1. International Pt 365 

2. Schemes Pt 365 

3. Culture Pt 365 

4. CSAT

5. Newspaper + articles

6. Globalisation.

@nerdfighter 12 hrs!!! Verrry good. I hope I can do it too. 

Mary kom is a legend. Defeat was something we all did not want. And even she did not know till 3 hrs after her fight that she had lost. She was magical and she deserves all respect - competing at the age of 38. No words!

PV sindhu and Manu bhakar are going ahead. I can't be more happy.

Lets hope for a better day tomarrow.

Have a good day my lovely forum friends!

1. I'm finding history super yuck these days. I'll have to do it some day but today was not that day. Replaced with requisite amount of IR. Done.

2. Also partially replaced with contracts. Done. 

Visit to the dentist took up a lot of time. The extraction will be done sometime in August (yay for more wasted time 🥲). 

Got some more FOMO feels when I heard fresh news about old college mates and other random acquaintances. Made me sad and super jealous for a while. It sucks but I'm happy to report that I didn't spiral into despair because of it this time. You folks have no small part to play in that :D 

Good night!

@sjerngal  Awesome. Your msg the other day was upsetting. Happy to know the dog is doing well. And she is being cared for by the likes of you. 
@nerdfighter Take a bow. Your forest looks so hara bhara. 

@Celeborn ,@LetsGetThisBread  I now feel responsible and accountable due to Forum. Isliye pushing myself. :D

After ages, I played football in the rain today. For 60 minutes, there were no thoughts of UPSC or prelims or optional. Just pure bliss. :D

@nerdfighter Nice to see you bring in that Goggins energy. Stay hard :)
