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.

A very good morning to one and all.

Targets for Nov 9

Looking forward to talented tuesday !

Day was productive but targets were too much. Good news is 1A is done and sealed. Kal se Governance unplanned manner mein start karenge, would post by night topics that are covered and progress made.

Note to self - take rest of mocks before lunch and take a good nap post lunch !

Hello friends the past 3-4 days have been bad to say the least. I’ve been feeling extremely unmotivated and have barely been able to even clock my hours on YPT. I don’t know why I’m struggling, but I know it cannot go on like this. So I will self reflect a bit and hopefully find some sort of solution. I’m not keeping any targets today but I’ll let you know what I managed to finish by the end of the day.

Found these lines from Javed Akhtar's poem (which he recited in the parliament during the celebration of 60th year of our independence in 2007) very contextual to our situation.

है वादा खुद से निभाना हमें अगर अपना,

तो कारवां नहीं रुक पाए भूल कर अपना |

 है थोड़ी दूर अभी सपनों का नगर अपना,

मुसाफिरों अभी बाकी है कुछ सफर अपना |

Answer Key of CSP 2020 has been realised and they have deleted two questions whose answers were pretty much doubtless and without controversy i.e.. GANDHI-IRWIN PACT Question and INDIA's INTERNATIONAL TRADE AND 4 ASSOCIATED STATEMENTS WITH IT Question.

Is there an intentional delay if you're attempting old tests? 
I took previous cohorts to write tests on my own pace.

Initially things are very fast as only few write (I got my first two tests this time in 1 day and 3 days respectively). Then it starts taking time. Like last year it took between 7 - 12 days (especially since I was writing tests late).

@D503 @Celeborn Makes sense, probably a huge number of tests being submitted between prelims and mains. 
Also a senior told me to finish off FLT early. As they don't evaluate papers after 15days to mains exam.
