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 don't think they will now release part 2 which was meant for may-june

they will directly release may-august

This is a speculation !

@crikeymate Review of 19th August
1. could do two chapters of Shankar IAS, its mind numbingly dreary
2. progress in Vision Jan, skimped out on Yojana, finished the newspapers
3. Finished Lecture 1
4. Finished Lecture 2
5. not considerable progress in studying Liberalism, but feel better with a plan at hand after some brainstorming with dad.
And here, my watch ends.

20th August
1. Chapter 3, 4, 5 of Shankar 
2. Vision CA, Newspapers, SR Newspaper class, Yojana
3. Read the Introduction to the WPT, Plato 
4. Lecture 1
5. Lecture 2
6. Perhaps read the notes of the latest classes in bed, though seems a little unrealistic, but the mind can always dare to hope.

I am pretty much exhausted. I put all that I had today. Around 9 good hours after cutting out those 6 hours of college leaves almost nothing for recreation. Yet I couldn't achieve all the targets. But then I believe this is my general tendency. If I am given an option to climb either of the two peaks, I will choose to climb 70-80% of the steeper peak than to climb a less steeper peak. Haha!

I did this today-


Targets for tomorrow-

Day 21 (19th August)-


A funny thing that is happening with me these days- Whenever I feel drowsy during the day, I try to manipulate my mind by reminding it that SLEEP IS A MERE STATE OF MIND and tbh it works.

Chalo Shubh Ratri doston!

Kal I didn't study anything(quite literally). Aaj bhi only Marx wala part. Pretty bad but koi nahi I will step up.

Will update in the night.

So, I am little scared of Ancient History, esp after my consistent poor performance in tests. 2020 UPSC qns aren't proving any helpful in getting my confidence up... Those who attempted the paper last year, how did u answer questions on (almost the entire history section)

kulyavapa and dronavapa

Parivrajaka, Shramana, Upasaka 

 vital vidhwanshak journal

Deser katha

Paramitas

Bhilsa, Dwarasamudra, Girinagar, Sthanesvara map based qn

Ghantasala, kadura and Chaul

Aurang ,Banian, Mirasidar 


Even if you guessed, please share how?
