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.

Yesterday began with disappointment after a horrible Maths test. I seriously need to improve a lot. In GS I'm doing fairly fine. I'm seeing progress.
Today's targets:
Mechanics complete
Polity - 21 issues
Newspaper
AWFG
Governance class
What I managed to do
1) completed moment of inertia. Will do lagrangian and hamiltonian tomorrow
2) Did 17/21 issues
3) done
4) done
5) done
To do 1/11
- Quantum 2/3
- DM 2/2
- Scitech 1/1
- Yojana 2x
Enough of wasting time here and there. Prolly deadline of writing the test on 4th will make me get my shit together. Gotta do what all it may take. Effectively just 2 months, what even :3 fml
- Quantum done but it'll stretch till 4th day
- DM - done but need to add few topics from NDMA plan
- Sci tech done
- Yojana - still looks like a distant dream
Looks like buffer days are being utilised. xD
Was better than yesterday but could've done so much better. Friends came over for an hour toh uska time pass alag. Things are very much in control for GS but can't say this for physics at all. Hope I manage some decent avg score in optional and I would be grateful.
Writing sectional test on 4th, on track for that. Lessgoooo

The Sense of An Ending:
So, hello!
Writing this post on this thread because probably/maybe/perhaps you guys would know about us.
Who's us?
Me and @AJ_
What are we upto?
Tying up ends, so to speak. FC is coming up for both of us (three of us actually, @whatonly )and then IAS/IPS/IRS trainings start. So, basically THE career begins. And shoppings for the career begin much early.
So, we wouldn't be here. Not in the absolutely-sitting-at-this-site-constantly-refreshing way anyway.
Bhai kehna kya chahte ho?
That we would want to help as many people as possible before we leave this place. Try and help people sharpen their tools for Pre-Mains-Interview and lessen their anxieties.
Because once that training starts, we wouldn't be of much use on one-to-one interactions. And we, simply put, would hopefully be occupied by learnings about services, than to visit this place regularly.
We'd be leaving this space by 6th November '21.Till then, here to help. All the time.
Ask us things, worries, doubts and talk to us. We'd be happy to indulge.
So, finally, looking forward to talking to you guys if you would want.
@Arrokoth - Rank 124, CSE 2020
Pre Scores:
2019 - GS: 129.34 CSAT - 100.34
2020 - GS: 117.69 CSAT - 106.68
@AJ_ - Rank 16, CSE 2020
Pre Score:
2020 - GS: ~121 CSAT: ~140
I think for a community that has given us so much, a formal leaving is definitely in order. And@Arrokoth (as always) has managed to sum it up perfectly :D
Till 6th November, please feel free to ask any doubts. I believe this thread is only for the Daily Targets or so. So you can post your questions in the relevant thread and tag us. I also apologize to those, who I couldn't reply to in the last few days.
Also I wanted to share my 2020 Progress, and this is the apt thread for that. I hope it's seen in a positive/motivating manner.
Tagging@whatonly if she's free to help us.

Also, a genuine request. Instead of sending mails with questions, please post them publicly. That ways:
1) All 3 of us, can try and build up on a strategy in a Forum thread.
2) I do not have to repeat the same thing every time and can address it once in a very holistic manner.
Thank You :)
Yes, this would be great!
For starters - I'll tag all people messaging me privately and help solve their issues publicly. Hope that is okay :)
