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’ll posting once at night from now on because I really want to get to study as early as I can after waking up friends. Today was a pretty decent day, I’ve had better but considering how erratic the last week has been I’m counting today as a win. Targets achieved:

Mod India 

Test+analysis 

Daily C/A

Physical geo

CSAT

May+ June 2020 C/A

Missed mapping and a little portion of environment I had intended on doing. But bread isn’t bad today, it’s not gourmet stuff, but white bread is still better than no bread.

Today being a Sunday was my customary day off. I solved full length papers (GS and CSAT). In the remaining time, I was resting and recharging myself. Time spent: 5 hours.

Saw Ayush sir's session. I'll be making slight tweaks to my strategy based on that. But otherwise things will remain the same. 

@sjerngal  All the best for the next 40 days. Will miss your updates here. See you on the other side. :) 

What Changes Bhai? Is it Source Change or Something Else?
