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.

Hello, everyone!
I have made it too. :)
Whoever hasn't made it, take some time off and come back with full vigour.
Congratulations to the many familiar usernames on this thread who have made it to Stage 2.
I have made a rough outline on what to do for the next 30 days. I hope that I would implement it.
##
NEBULOUS NOVEMBER
I have got 30 days –>dividing it into two slots per day –>gives me 60 sessions.
I have 6 papers in my hand (excluding Essay) –>10 sessions for each paper.
Ideal scenario: Putting 5-6 productive hours in each session; writing at least 4 full-length tests by November 30.
Realistic scenario: My daily posts detailing how I made it or couldn't make it that day.
##
NEBULOUS NOVEMBER – Day 1
- Allocating both my sessions to GS2
- Aiming to writing at least a few answers (Lack of mock tests sunk my previous Mains)
Good luck everyone.
- Meditation (1/2)
- PSIR - Western thinkers (5/9) + 5 AWP
- GS 2 - CoI : Historical Underpinnings, Evolution, Features, Amendments, Significant Provisions and Basic Structure + 1 hour AWP (backlog)
- 1 hour for self - meeting best friend : )
- Glancing through Good Essay Copies
- Meditation (2/2)
Note to self - do what is planned.
Let’s start this month very well !
@Villanelle no it’s flexible ,12 days is maximum time for evaluation
Ooooo, right, it is flexible. Just read - it says three weeks on the brochure, which seems good enough. I’m not starting with GS1 so was kinda worried about that.
@SergioRamos sort out hogaya? :P

Nahiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! :(
Test series to le ni pa rahe, Desh ke bade bade faisle kya lenge! :/
*Sed TVF aspirants noises*
This is not today’s schedule but rather a reminder to myself everyday till mains. Don’t take up any new current affairs magazine and burden yourself unless you have created time to revise as well. Otherwise it’s just a waste of time if you do not revise just before mains.
And if I find myself short of time, prioritise static part over others. Static is king.
Also, if India and Arsenal loses any game, don’t take it to your heart and get over it with a good dessert. Leave it altogether, if possible.
Arsene,
