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.

How are you people covering GS 2My sources are:
Polity - Atish Mathur crash course + some parts of what I studied for Pre + Dipin sir's classes for current
Governance - Vision VAM
Social Justice - Dipin sir's classes + last year's notes I made from Rau's Compass
IR - Dipin sir's classes + last year's notes of Mains 365.
If I was beginning afresh, I would have gone for Sunya IAS booklet or Only IAS Prahaar ; since they are single source for all topics so would save time. As of now, I'm using Sunya as value addition (like data and examples for governance portion)
Wow thank you for your detailed response. I am also checking prahaar and will do mains 365. Rest I hope knowledge of psir optional have some spillover effect cause I don’t have much time left.
Any suggestion on keeping revision interesting? Reading the same notes, again and again, is making is lose interest and at times I'm missing some crucial points to remember.
Try Active Recalling. Look at topic, summarise in mind what all you would write. And then see notes if you have missed anything. This way, erase the points that have been internalised. It would lead to consolidation of notes as well, plus put us in competitive spirit against ourselves.
For Ethics case studies, is Vision VAM module good?
I found syllabus topicwise segregation of case studies too weird. That's why didn't even go beyond the index page.
I looked at some 12-15 case studies solved by atish mathur, that helped me build the perspective and confidence. Complemented it with solving pyq case studies and cross-checking them with atul garg's solution.
