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.

Targets for today-


Except for env legislations, everything is done

How do manage to complete test and analysis in 1:30 hours, it takes me 4 hours to do both. Am I missing something here?

I'm guessing this is SFG (50 questions per test rather than a full length test)

Do you mean how I plan my daily targets? Or do you mean how I plan the hours of my day to achieve these targets (ie hour by hour implementation)?

Okay, I will tell you the ideal scenario. 

For me my day should contains mainly 4 blocks

Test

Subject

CA

CSAT

And also, haryana related things these days

I try to do CSAT for 1 hour, 

For subject, I have divided the syllabus into blocks (as per Sfg schedule) + 1 buffer day

For CA, I give it approx 3 hours and do it according to the number of pages I can read in 3 hours.

I have a broad monthly target schedule I made starting from mid July onwards, which gave me a rough idea of what needs to be done daily. After that everyday depending on how many days I have per subject, I plan accordingly. As for the hourly thing, it was pure trial and error, i figured out a schedule that works according to my productivity levels and work around it. I also generally tend to be decently disciplined as far as studying is concerned+ I take enjoyably long breaks (1 hour or more sometimes) in between my sessions to recharge
