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.

Good morning guys. New day, fresh mind, fresh targets for 25/8/21

  • Finish ancient India revision
  • Buddhism+ Jainism +Indian Philosophy
  • Culture PT365 revision

Also,@LetsGetThisBread ,@The Mechanic and@Celeborn , I feel fine. Luckily there was nothing serious. Only thing is that I'll have to go for a follow up on monday which might lead to some more wastage of time. 

Hopefully today goes better. Fingers crossed !!

Good morning doston.

Couldn't post yesterday night since I was juggling to get past the printing conundrum in the new Evernote update. Such a moronic app it is turning out to be and I cannot leave it since I have all my digital stuff saved in that application.It took me till 2 am and then I found a worthy solution of reverting to Evernote Legacy. And after using Legacy version, I realised that the developers are seriously following "one step forward,2 steps backwards" policy with every update.Pehle sirf margins delete karte the printout ke time,ab to aadha content hi gayab kar dete hai.

Also, I could only muster 5 hours yesterday for UPSC.Did college too since I was anyway distracted till afternoon .

Targets for 25th(Day 24)-

!!!

@mightyraju Hey! You could try export to PDF feature and then take out the prints. I think it would take a few more minutes but content would remain fine.

Great day after yesterday's debacle. Although not happy with my unnecessarily long breaks. 

Studying some more as I update this. 

Till then, Good morning to the night owls and good night to the morning birdies :)

It motivates to see so many people going through same phase of sine curve and I am not alone in this. It helps me to understand that everyday is unique and needs to be benefited maximum

Got to know that my semester results had been declared and probably did nothing except for attending classes, doing some CA notes and reading newspaper. Considering it a zero day and will try to finish these targets tomorrow.

@Joeyisthebest Bhai I tried doing it both ways-Straiightaway by Three dots>Print>This yielded a format in which the margins of the notes were missing. Also tried using export to pdf option. Here,the content itself goes missing. And I am using Evernote on macOS+ I make notes by arranging them in tabular form.Thank you bhai vaise.


Good Night doston!
