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.

Such an unproductive day today. :(
Unable to focus on anything. I need a break. A vacation break.
What useful something can I do to not regret about today in future.
His voice is too calming to concentrate well. :P
But ya ...m sitting with ancient and medieval terms table which has been pending for long. Feels like learning a new language written in english alphabet.

Sach mei!
B/w you can try some mapping stuff - ancient and medieval terms won't help you much abhi.
Now that HCS mains dates are out (starts on 3rd dec) my anxiety has reached to some another level. I am so worried about how am I going to complete my optional - mathematics (which is so humongous) in such a short period of time!
Would love to be of any help. All the best for HCS :)
Let's hope we're all writing UPSC mains so we'll be in math mode 24x7 :P

They are really good quality lectures.
I know.. My brother used to watch them and I was like, I am never going to watch byju's in my life.(because I was fed up of their unnecessaru advesrtisements.. Lol)... Then my bro sent me a few questions and I found them pretty good, since then I am addicted to the playlist. ..

Haha. I fear to be have byju anywhere in my browser history. I fear they might get hold of my number and details and bombard me with ads and calls. :P
Another day comes to a close.
Have not read a single page today. Tossed in the bed until 1pm. Zero interest in revision.
@Shailputri I felt the same today. You are not alone.

All of a sudden, it struck me in the evening that I have to post here at 9pm about what I have accomplished today. The thought of me abandoning this "daily exercise" has crossed my mind.
What should I post if I haven't done anything?
Then, I realised how important, cathartic, and honest this thread keeps an aspirant every day. At least, we are not lying to ourselves during this marathon. Not every day is perfect. Some days we just feel like not studying – at all.

At 6pm, I figured that I can do some non-academic stuff to take my mind away from CSE.
- Deep cleaned my room
- Spent some quality time with my puppies
- Cycled for 15km with Poets of the Fall and Linkin Park accompanying me on Spotify
Now, when I sit here at my table, typing this away, I wonder, "Did I not have a productive day just because I couldn't revise?"
@Shailputri To answer your question, I think it is okay if we do not feel like reading. I don't think our Prelims ka score depends on what we study in the last 5 days. I think the studying wala part is already over. Let's take one day at a time and give our best on Sunday.
Do watch a movie/read a book – whatever interests you :)
##
Considering that Saturday would be my journey day, I have 3 days left.
Will revise acche se, kal. I hope I have a "productive" day tomorrow.
Good night, Forum-ites. It's lovely being a part of a small pack.
PS. Sore throat is gone. XD

Really appreciate that there are people who still listen to Poets of Fall, Linkin Park. Proper Comfort Music! :D
