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.

How are you all managing newspaper reading along ?

If i spend some time to read the newspaper FOMO of prelims starts to catch up forcing me to wrap it up mid way.

Any inputs would be appreciated

Personally, I have stopped reading useless/irrelevant/repetitive articles (which are many by the way). It takes me less than 30 min to go through newspaper like this. To avoid any prelims FOMO, I watch Only IAS prelims booster discussion at 1.5x speed which gets finished in less than 15 minutes.  

There you go, newspaper done in less than 45 minutes.

Bread’s hot and fresh out of oven, so time like now to get this bread!!!

Done for the day, did a half hearted job as far as mapping is concerned though, my test analysis took way too much time, will have to find a way to shave down the time I take for that. Good night guys!

I go through daily current affairs on insights first and then skim the rest of the paper to save time.
