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.

Disappointing day. Giving a mock is easy, the inertia to analyse it is real. Big backlog now. Was only able to give a mock and do history revision.
Study hours - 5
Targets:
- Ancient & Medieval Revision (2/3)
- Mock Test Analysis - Insights Budget & ES
- SFG Revision (3 Tests) - Try to cover more
Hope tomorrow is better for all of us!

Trying to keep the prelims anxiety at bay by not thinking about it at all. Working so far but who knows what unintended consequences it might bring. Indeed, Ignorance is bliss!
Forgot to post yesterday.
Targets:
- Finish Ancient & Medieval (this is taking far too long!)
- Test Analysis - 2 mocks
- Mock Test
Tried to sleep early but couldn't fall asleep. I had a horrible past right from age 4 and it haunts back at night sometimes. It feels like I am the character Jason Bourne from the Bourne series. Anyways! Will keep my sanity and try to maximize the study today.

Bhai Tough times now Good Times ahead
Guys, I need a suggestion. I am fairly good in CSAT.. So I never really prepared for it. But I know someone who is from IIT and failed to qualify for mains because he couldn't clear CSAT. Now I am too conscious.. If Iitians with good mental ability (as accepted by many) are failing to qualify csat, then who am I to take it lightly.
Can someone please suggest some videos on youtube , some last minutes CSAT stuff, especially maths tricks and all?
I can solve questions fairly well, but a few tricks in maths will help me in solving more questions quickly and accurately I guess..
Thanks !

1.CSAT test series. Their solutions usually have required tricks.
2.I have my sister's management books. I solve some questions/passages here and there just to be in touch. Some 20-25 questions daily esp of Percentages, Profit/Loss/Discount, Ratios, Mensuration in maths and puzzles in reasoning. Just to keep in touch with number crunching.
Maths aur Rotiyan bas practice se banti hain. Leave them for 2-3 months and one is back to counting numbers on fingers. Been there, Done that.
@Shailputri treat your lunch break as a break and sit back to study everyday at a consistent time. My lunch break ends everyday at 2:30 at which point I get up and get back to my table. Another random thing that I think works as well, is to never take your breaks in the same spot that you study in as well, if possible. It’s one of those Pavlovian conditioning logics that seems to work for me (I have the responses of a golden retriever to most external stimulus). It signals to my brain to switch from break mode to study mode the moment I get back to my room.
Ya. Will give it a try. M so drowsy after food.
